I'm a little bit worried about this as I'm going for a colposcopy tomorrow (always had abnormal cells and had diathermy treatment once).
In December I stopped taking the pill after 13 years of being on it. I'm not TTC, I just wanted to give my body a break from the hormones. My periods snapped back beautifully - 28 day cycles, light 4 day flow, no trouble at all...
Except for this month. I started brown spotting a week early, with a few red streaks that I thought would turn into a period. The spotting went away. Then last Sunday, I had the usual blood when I wiped and I thought my period had started. I had a little runny blood in my mooncup but nowhere near the thick and (sorry) stringy quantity I usually get. By Monday I was back to brown spotting with red streaks. Then watery brown discharge.
Until Wednesday, when I got the thick stringy blood. At last, I thought, my period had arrived (by which time it was late). Even then it was darker and browner, still lesser in quantity. It kept switching on and off - sometimes an empty mooncup sometimes brown, sometimes blood, but the period was gone by Friday. Then some light red bleeding on Saturday morning. Then back to watery brown discharge. Then a couple of dark brown chunks (sorry!) On Sunday, it seemed to go entirely but yesterday and today I've had very very light brown mucus in my discharge (watery brown when I wipe).
I'm not sure I'm explaining myself very well - this has been going on over a week now. Any idea what it could be? I don't think it's stress as I'm not really worried about the colposcopy.
