Hi
I had this problem some time ago as well and can understand the
frustration and worry that something is wrong. I figure that if
something is wrong inside your body then it will let you know! Bleeding
is a sure sign of that. My experinece is that I had bleeding the same
as you, and after a lap and hysteroscopy they told me I had adenomyosis.
I now have a mirena coil in that has stopped the bleeding which is great
although it does cause abdominal pain, maybe this is a route that you
can take?
Hope this helps.
