Hi Prosecco. Don't want you to go unanswered, but I don't have any similar experience.

You should probably should get it checked out...either go to your GP or google it...but don't frighten yourself!!

I was bleeding between periods and have been diagnosed with a cervical polyp - is totally harmless but needs small op.

Go to your GP, don't live with the worry.

Yes, mine go on for ages (11 days not unusual).

I've finally decided to do something about it and I'm seeing my GP in a couple of weeks. I'm expecting to find out I'm anaemic, if nothing else.

Prosecco - I am just about to go to my Gp about the same thing since my 3rd dc. I have been waiting to have my coil taken out as Im sure that is making it worse, but dh has STILL not got the all clear from his vasectomy over a year ago. (he's had one test but has yet to phone for the results of the 2nd...grrr). I am really hoping it's just something small that can be fixed, rather than just getting old.

I had that last period, brown spotting for aaages afterwards and then a couple of brown clotty looking things, like a smear of treacle. It's only my second af post mc so I thought it might be something to do with that. Just had my smear so will know the results in a few weeks.

I have had stupid periods since 2 mc last year, bleeding for ages, then late, brown clots, smelly stuff, treacle stuff. I have had swabs, antibiotics incase of infection and smear - all normal. Gp thinks maybe my body just sorting itself out!

Prosecco - I have had this since DC5
My actual period only lasts three days then i have over a week of brown discharge and small brown mucus clots.

I had this for years even before children, I didn't ever think much of it. A few of my friends have now been complaining about it too?
Interestingly I have now started having this for a week before my 2 day period and not after? I am definately in the 'peri' so just assume it's hormonal.

Thank you all. I will go to see the gp but it is comforting to know I am not alone. Thanks again.
