Irregular bleeding.....going mad!

Sorry girls anxieties through the roof! Bit of back ground.....Ive been on cerezet most of my adult life came off 2009 to try for bubs, back on when he was only afew days old in 2012. Periods always stopped until I'd say a couple of years ago I started getting spotting, doc said just one of those things. Got worse so came off Jan last year and periods returned from hell, went back on after about 6 months but only for a couple weeks then changed my mind again!! Anyway periods fine then I think about Oct I started to get spotting a week before I was due and proper blood after a poo....then about a week later I'd come on. Again Doc says hormones and pressure.... I excepted that, I've had a transvaginal ultrasound in 2020 which was clear and smear due oct 2021. Then for some reason it happened again this month, at first I thought I had a light period then realised no it's the same thing again, had two days of no bleeding then went for a poo which started it again two days after that I came on quite late. So my brain is in absolute melt down. Doc had already referred me to a gynecologist for a coloscopy because they won't do an extra smear... .but after getting myself in such a state I paid to see a private gynecologist kn monday only for a consultation, wrote everything down and she said she thinks all of it spotting, bleeding after a poo week before my period is hormonal. She looked at my cervix but couldnt get a very good look because I came on over the weekend so bleeding, she did mention she thinks I have some ectropion on there. Think that's how you spell it please correct me if I'm wrong! Anyway my nhs gynecologist telephone appointment is next thursday and she will send a letter to her. She said I need my cervix looked at when I'm not bleeding, Unfortunately my brain is in overdrive and I'm convinced I've got cervical cancer......I feel awful. Anyone feel the same xx

@Mumwarrr

Back again......so the day after I saw the gynecologist so Friday I started to bleed not heavy just bleeding and to honest I'm getting so confused with dates now that it was like that for a couple of days then I came on properly, awful and heavy with bad cramps. This Saturday I stopped, today I've been needing to wee constantly and have s weird ache pressure around my bottom tummy and back. I've just been again and wiped to find slight bloody discharge. Brain back into over drive and I'm crying my eyes out again......what's wrong with me girls xxxx
Did the gyn say much? X

Well she doesn't think its anything to worry about obviously got to wait to have the scan. I said to her what if I don't stop or don't start bleeding and she sort of said don't worry about it! If only!!!!!!!!! xx

It’s the gynae equivalent of the gp saying to a couple struggling ‘just relax and then you’ll fall pregnant’. They think we can just switch off our worries about unusual bleeding, but you can’t when you’re reminded every time you go to the toilet or you need to wear pads/liners every day in case. I suppose all you can do is keep a record of bleeding every day, try to stay positive and take comfort that they haven’t found or heard anything concerning. I’m having issues myself too, still bleeding 2 weeks after the start of a period. Bloody coil is driving me mad, should be settled by now 6 months on! Anyway, hope you don’t have to wait too long for the scan xx

Update. Gynae has checked me and smeared me and says all looks fine. I've got a transvaginal booked in a weeks time but no more symptoms. Gynae seems to think it was just some trauma so hopefully the case. Joked to DH it must be his giant appendage. We laughed. Hopefully that's it now. Am glad to have had it checked out by a gynae and have gotten my smear test all done anyway which was due in May. Need to still get bloods done. Might wait till children back at school.

Following due to similar situation bleeding after sex. I agree it drives you mad not knowing what's happening inside your own body xx

@SippingSipsmith 😂😂 they wish!!! Or do we!!! So now I'm 15 days in my cycle and I'm having this weird pain funny feeling mostly on my left lower side tummy, I can't explain it, hurts when I move around or sit down but seems ok when I'm still!!! Also hurts when I wee!!!! It's strange I've never had anything like it before xx
