Unusual Bleeding - help anyone?? TMI...

Okay, I posted in the Waiting for Ovulation thread last week that I wasn't sure what was happening, because it looked like AF had arrived, but I really don't know what's going on!! Last Monday I started bleeding, not much, only enough for a liner - it was brown blood and I thought okay, maybe it's just ovulation bleeding (I had my usual O pain and sore boobs etc etc). BUT it's still happening a week later. 95% of the time it's brown blood, but there have been a few occasions of bright red blood. This is NOT normal for me. Does anyone have any ideas what it could possibly be? Alternatively, how long should I wait before going to the doctor? I am due for treatment on my cervix in 2 weeks which I can't be bleeding for (for obvious reasons).

Fair enough for being freaked out! Have you done any pg tests lately? There is a chance of m/c if you have 'old blood'. Is there anything you are having treatment for which could be causing the bleeding?

I would definately recommend a pregnancy test. I had the same thing and it turned out to be implantation bleeding. Do you still have sore boobs? That was the give away sign for me.

Yep, it's for CIN cells although past pre-cancerous grade. My obgyn isn't exactly my fave person, but I might ask my GP if it doesn't stop in a couple days. I will prob do a HPT tomorrow...

Congratulations Minik8e What a surprise that must've been. Seems like there might be something in the water again this month

Last night it was all I could think about because I was lying in bed trying not to vomit, and the smell of tea (burnt) made me feel sick, but I thought I'd just eaten something (I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome on top of everything else!)....OMG I'm in shock.

Yep, cramps are normal, they are usually your uterus starting to expand. It would pay to goto your doctor to confirm the pregnancy and then just to make sure all is okay with the bleeding and cramps. You'll feel a lot better once you have been able to discuss it all with a doctor.

minik8e that looks clearer than mine was. There's no imagining that line - get thee to a dr
Cramps are normal
Congratulations!!!!!

Tha is so a positive test Kate!!! Congrats!!!! So there will be no surgery for you now.

Ok I went to the doctor...the test there was very faint (I showed him the one I did at home this morning but he wanted to confirm) so he's done urgent bloods, as I may need to go to the Early Pregnancy Clinic tomorrow for a scan. He's baffled because it shouldn't be showing up so clearly if I only ovulated last week...so he wants to get a dating scan, and also keep an eye on me because of the bleeding...

fleury - I kept it quiet cos I did it at 5am this morning!!!! I haven't even had a chance to tell DF yet - waiting for him to get home for breakfast (he was at work at 5am).
