Just need some advice here to stop me worrying myself silly. Im 47 and in August for the first time I had mid cycle bleeding. I cant even call it bleeding as it only happens when I get up in the morning. When I go to the loo and wipe myself there is a smear of brownish, light red mucusy mess on the loo paper. Once this has happened I have nothing else all day until the next morning and the same again, This seems to be about day 14 of a cycle and lasts for about 4 days and then nothing until my normal period, This has happened exactly the same for the last 3 cycles. Today I went to the GP in tears and she has ordered blood tests and an up to date smear so I'm now terrified Ive got cancer, Has anyone any ideas?? Im so stressed out about it all

Calm yourself down. very unlikely to be cancer. I had this at your age ( am now 55).

It was hormonal and caused by a dip in hormones mid cycle.

It only happened to me about 3 times then never again.
