Spotting after period ends

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to these boards. I came here hoping someone will be able to help me out.

Since August, a couple days after my period ends, I experience spotting. My breasts also hurt, my right one in particular for a month straight, and I had horrible break outs. I saw my doctor. She examined me and gave me a blood test for PCOS and pregnancy which came back negative. She said that she doesn't think anything is wrong with me. I am just going through stress (I was matron of honor at my cousin's wedding in Oct.) But she said if I continue to spot, she might want to have me checked for a polyp.

I still have been spotting since I last saw her two months ago, but my other symptoms have gone away. I am not taking birth control pills. I am getting very scared and nervous.

Have any of you experienced this?

Thank you for your help.

I found some information on abnormal bleeding.

Cl-Cinderkitty,

Thanks for the link.

I forgot to mention that I have an appt. to see my doctor at the end of January for my annual check-up.

I will tell her about the continued spotting then- unless it gets worse or I have pain. That's what she suggested I do the last time I saw her.

It's very faint. If I wasn't looking for it, I wouldn't notice it. It just scares me that it's there.

Thank you again for your help and support.
