Topic: Unusual Bleeding - help anyone?? TMI... Posted: 11 June 2007 at 11:44am |
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).

Thanks Jess, it's freaked me out a little and I hope it stops soon - I'm still having my o pain which is a little weird...I just need it to stop before my treatment!!

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 haven't done any pg tests recently no - I thought about it because I've been feeling really nauseous lately, but thought bleh. I haven't been having treatment for anything lately, although I do have ovarian cysts - also thought it could be one of them bursting, but then it wouldn't be old blood would it? And cysts are supposed to be very painful when they burst, and I haven't had any pain over and above my usual pain... The blood got worse after BDing, but only for a day - which I thought may have been from DF hitting my cervix (I have cancerous cells on my cervix which is what I'm going in for treatment on) but then again - it's never happened any other time after BDing.

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.

Sometimes it can be fresh blood. Like I explained on bumblefoots thread (she asked the same thing last week) the ovum literally blasts out of the ovary and this causes your lining to sometimes shift this is old and new blood. You say that you are having surgery coming up, is that for CIN? Could be that if you do have precancerous cells that do need removing they might be playing a little havoc as well. I honestly thing that if you are worried about it then contact your OBGYN that is performing the surgery. And as others have suggested, a HPT just in case

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...

Ummm, I guess I'll be contacting my ObGyn to say I won't be able to have treatment... 2 lines is 2 lines right? I have no idea how far along I will be, as I only had my period 2-3 weeks ago...

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.

Ok I am scared sh**less. I rang Healthline, and they said to go to my doc asap. Are cramps normal?

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.

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).
