Bleeding between periods? Not on b/c
| Sun, 09-21-2003 - 10:45am |
Hi..I'm 34 and have two children ages 4 & 2. I got off the pill May this year and have been doing good starting my period on the day I'm supposed to..no problems at all. I just started my last period Sept. 2nd (on time), it was normal etc. Friday night I noticed a pain in my lower right side..didn't think much about it. I had sexual intercourse Friday night with dh and then Sat. morning noticed a little light red when I wiped. Yesterday afternoon though it was so much that it went through to my panties and I had to put on a panty liner. Now I'm bleeding *almost* as bad as a period and it's really red & a lot when I wipe. I have no idea what is going on here! I'm still a week & a half b/f my next period is even due.
I just had a pap smear at the end of August that came back fine. That makes me feel a little better but what else could it be? The only other pains I've been having is rib pain. I know that's kind of weird but I have rib pain in the front and back, both sides. Kind of like gall bladder pain (had it removed in January).
Any help would be appreciated!

That breakthrough bleeding can become more common.
Not sure that I helped, but thats what I was thinking..

It sounds like you may have to contact your doctor on this. It seems more than just ovulation spotting to me. Has the bleeding stopped yet?
If it's right around ovulation, it could be a cyst. That can cause unusual bleeding.
Wish we could help you out more but it's hard over the net!
Good luck to you,
Kristin
Thanks again!
