Those symptoms sound scary--what if it was something really serious? I hope you and your H can somehow come up with the money for a visit to a gynecologist. Is there a community clinic you could go to? I don't know how those work--do you have to tell them your income? Maybe it's enough to be in need and not have health insurance?

How about this clinic? It says anyone can go there and what you pay is based on your ability to pay. It is designed for people with low income who do not qualify for medical assistance (the people who fall through the cracks--maybe you are in this group?)

Good luck.
