Spotting/ bleeding between periods. What to do?

[Grockle]

This is a new-ish thing & I'm not sure what, if anything, I should do about it. I have recently been diagnosed with Lupus & Fribo/ ME so it may be to do with those. Or not, I don't know.

For the last 3 months, I have been bleeding between periods. Twice, it has been so much that I though my period had come early but then it stopped a day or 2 later. Often, it's not that heavy but still noticeable & lasts for days.

My periods have always been highly irregular (anything from 25 - 90+ days) but no-one has ever been concerned about that. My cycle is now around 30-35 days but I am bleeding much more heavily each time than I ever have in the past & have this extra bleeding in between as well.

Sorry, grockle, if I have confused you with someone else! I don't want to add to your list of illnesses! Just if you had been thinking thyroid before, this would be another symptom.

I did post on a thread about dizziness & thyroid type problems a while ago... that might be where you've seen me? Apparently my thyroid is fine although I will ask them to test it again. In fact, I had blood taken today but for antibodies. I don't know what code they put for thyroid stuff?

I really wanted my thyroid checked but I don't think they did that. May ask next time I go.

I had a colposcopy this morning and didn't find it any worse than having a smear. It was all clear. Just the hysteroscopy to go now! Hope you're doing ok OP.
