sassa Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 never happens to me.. is your cycle really heavy? maybe that's why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tastyt Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 Spotting instead of having your period could be a problem- it could be a sign of pregnancy. But IDK about in-between. I'm sure it's some kind of bizarre hormonal imbalance. I don't think it's usually anything to worry about, but b/c it can be such an annoyance a lot of women actually go *on* BC because of too much spotting.It wouldn't hurt to talk to your dr about it.

Not to scare you, but sometimes when you get pregnant you can spot bleed during implantation. If this is a first for you I would not hesitate to either take a pregnancy test, or make an appointment with your doc.Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b-side Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Often when a major change is made, you may spot pending on your system... If you have changed pills/birth control, or a sexual partner/activity.. who knows what physical / mental changes that may have brought this about.. but often it can be a simple as stress or it may be something wrong (i hope not) If this has NEVER happend before then def. see a doctor..Also, when eggs get trapped in the tube you may see spotting continously.DOC~B"Serving all of your psycho~sexual needs since 1971" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mala Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Here:Not Again! Bleeding Between Periods by Tracee CornforthYour period was over just last week and now it's back. Maybe this has been happening regularly the last few months. Maybe it's the first time it has happened to you. Whether it's the first time you have experienced irregular bleeding between periods, or just another month of spotting, metrorrhagia (the medical term for irregular bleeding or spotting between periods) is frustrating and can lead to a lot of worry thinking something is seriously wrong.What is normal menstruation?Normal menstrual bleeding lasts about five days, and although it may seem like you are losing a lot more blood, the amount of blood lost during your period is only about two to eight tablespoons. Menstruation occurs on average every 28 days; but, anywhere from 25 to 31 days between periods is considered a normal menstrual cycle.When should you worry about bleeding? If you are post-menopausal, or younger than 11 and vaginal bleeding occurs you should consult your physician. It's important to be sure that bleeding is coming from your vagina and not from your rectum or urine. The best time for your doctor to determine the cause of menstrual problems is when bleeding is not active.What causes bleeding between periods? Although the cause of irregular bleeding can vary according to individual health situations, some of the more common causes include:Abortion Hormonal fluctuations Beginning or stopping oral contraceptives or estrogens Low thyroid levels Stress IUDs occasionally cause slight spotting Injury to the vagina from insertion of objects, from malignant cancers, or from vaginal infections Certain drugs such as anticoagulants Vaginal dryness GYN procedures such as CONE biopsy or cervical cauterization If bleeding is heavy, bed rest may be recommended. Keep a record of the number of pads or tampons that you use so that your physician can determine whether bleeding is abnormally heavy. It's best to avoid taking aspirin because it can prolong bleeding. Whenever you experience irregular bleeding from unknown causes it is wise to call your physician for an appointment, as well as when bleeding occurs after menopause or when other symptoms are present.When you visit your physician your medical history will be taken and a pelvic exam will be performed. You should be ready to answer certain questions relating to the timing of your irregular bleeding, as well as the quality of bleeding, and other factors and symptoms. Your physician may also do a Pap smear and/or an endometrial biopsy if he feels it is necessary. Some of the questions your physician is likely to ask include:How long have you experienced bleeding between periods? Does it happen every month or is this the first time? What day during your menstrual cycle does the bleeding begin? How long does it last? Do you experience menstrual cramps when irregular bleeding occurs? How heavy is the bleeding? How may pads or tampons do you need? Does anything make bleeding worse? Does anything make it better? Is bleeding worse with increased physical activity? Are you experiencing an increase in stress? Do you have any other symptoms such as pelvic pain, increased bruising, difficulty swallowing, pain or burning during urination? Is there blood in your bowel movements or urine? It's also important to advise your physician if you are pregnant or have had a recent miscarriage or abortion. If you have had a D&C, your physician should know this as well. Remember to inform your physician about any prescription or over-the-counter medications (including herbal supplements) that you are taking. The type and size of tampons can sometimes be a helpful clue to help your physician to determine the cause of metrorrhagia. Your physician will also ask you how old your were when you started having periods, if you are sexually active, and whether you have experienced bleeding between periods in the past. If you have experienced any injuries, or had medical or surgical treatments, this is also important to tell your physician.If you are currently using oral contraceptives your physician should be aware of this: bleeding between periods can sometimes be caused by something as simple as not taking birth control pills at the exact same time each day.Be prepared to answer these questions when you visit your physician. The treatment your physician prescribes will depend, to a large extent, on your answers to his questions, as well as the findings of your pelvic exam and/or other tests he orders.

lizard23 Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Did you recently have rough sex? Sometimes if the penis hits the cervix a little too hard/much, you can bleed slightly. Then again, women's bodies love just doing all kinds of wacky shit for no reason just to make us freak out (doesn't it just SUCK?!), so hopefully it's just from stress or something common. I would still see a doctor though just to be safe. Hope everything's ok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aenimarulz Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 It certainly causes strange things to happen with my cycle..I can have 2 periods a month sometimes or none for 2 months... I take quite a few home pregnancy test just to be sure but when I do talk to my dr. about it they usually blame it on stress..after many expensive test of course Since this doesn't happen often and you haven't been checked out by a dr. recently I would def. make an appt. and get it checked out;) Just to be safe!My 2 centsGood luck and let us know what the outcome is.~CB~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
