PICTURES: Changes to periods and blood in urine again .. cancer worries

TW: Pictures

I've been getting some strange symptoms where after I wipe after peeing the paper is pale pink with blood. I had this in the lead up to what I thought was my 'period' in November which was more like spotting. Then in the lead up to Friday last week I had it again a bit, I got bloody discharge when I wiped once but nothing in the toilet bowl aside from some clots. Then it stopped and now today I've had some streaks of blood in my urine .. but not period blood. I'm not due on for another week or so.
had streaks of blood in my pee in May (again not period related) and saw my doctor as it's a sign of bladder cancer/ UTI. My urine sample was clear of infection and doctor dismissed it as a one off.

Has anyone else had this before? What should I next? I also keep feeling random twinges in my stomach and do have some random pains too. Am really worrying as 1 in 5 incidents of blood in urine apparently means bladder cancer. I'm only 33 and a new mum so that's obviously quite scary. Thanks in advance.

Apologies in advance but have attached some pictures :(

How old is your baby? I don't have kids but is there any possibility this blood could be linked to having given birth recently?

@janeeyreair he’s nine months old now so wouldn’t think it would be linked? But who knows!

@HopefulRose ahh ok you are most likely right then! I would definitely go back to doctor and ask for more investigation.

Hi OP I totally get how you must be feeling but two thoughts from me. 1 in 5 chance of something means a 4 in 5 chance it WON'T happen. There are lots of less worrying things this could be like UTI etc. You need to see your doctor but don't stress too much in the meantime.

OP how are you doing now? I am having something similar although mostly timed after my period.

Hello,just wondering if either of you got to the bottom of this? I'm having similar random spotting.
