Answer
Dear Susan,

Thank you for writing me I will try to help if I can keeping in mind that I am not a doctor. You may have hit the nail on the head by saying that you have been having a lot of stress in your life. Stress can cause a lot of strange things to happen in your body also you said that you have had sex for the first time a month and a half ago. Having sex can be a transition for your body as well for it releases a lot of hormones and adds a little stress of its own though most of us consider it "good stress". I would urge you if you have been having "un-protected" sex that you get yourself checked out for HPV and other sexually transmitted STD's. Also they have home pregancy tests that you can get to see if you are pregnant. As for your conflict with your father try to see if you can less of these you did not say what they were about but since they are adding stress in your life try to smoothe them over. If you cannot come to a happy medium with your dad then whatever tiggers the fights try not to do that until you can have peace in your home. I hope I have helped in some small way and remember that stress sometimes can be controled by what you do and where you place yourself. So try to relax more and find peaceful places to sit and meditate sometimes it is as close as your bathroom :-)

God Bless
