I'm bleeding between periods and scared!

[gaga920]

I am not due for my period for another ten days and today I was bleeding when I went to the bathroom.

 

my last period, I was a week early.

 

I have a fibroid on my uterus and two days ago I had sex with my boyfriend.

 

do you think this could be why I am bleeding?

 

last summer I bled very HEAVY for a few weeks due to having sex and then I got checked out they found this fibroid and a cyst on my ovary.

 

(I should note we I do not bleed every time we have sex)

 

I'm scared. does anyone know if this is normal?

 

thank you

I don't think you need to be too scared - these things are all a bit weird and you have at least two reasons you might bleed after sex.

 

However - a forum like this is NEVER a substitute for medical advice and SOME stuff - such as bleeding (vagina, bowel, wherever) should NEVER be ignored!

 

Don't panic cos this could very well be the cyst or the fibroid BUT you should definitely get it checked out. You aren't on the Pill are you? Cos both those conditions can react badly (I don't mean cancer, just - they can get harder to deal with).

 

Please let your Doctor reassure you.

 

Hugs. And don't panic! x

its normal to have spotting or little bleading when an ovary is releasing the egg - not sure if that applies to you but just FYI
