Blood - period not due

Reposting here for traffic. Apologies, but I am concerned. Just want to know if anyone has experienced this:

After wiping last night, there was a small amount of blood on the toilet paper. Seems to be just this one wipe. Definitely from the vaginal area.

I'm not the best at tracking my period, as no need to, really. But I'm certain my period isn't due for another 12 days or thereabouts. Definitely not now. I'm 40.

I'm not on any contraception and haven't had sex.

I got my invitation for my smear just the other day, so will do for that soon.

Just wondered if anyone had ever had similar?

Thanks.

Wow, seems a long time.

Yep! I thought I would be finished with periods by now, but unfortunately not.

get it checked but be prepared for the gp not really being interested and putting it to your age and possible pre-meno.

did you have covid recently? that can mess up the cycle as well.

I had covid at end of November/into Dec, and had a normal period straight after.

I had this and it turned out to be fibroids
Definitely get it checked by GP
