Tiffany,
I hope you got some answers at the doctor today. I have never had
anything quite like this happen to me, but I do have some strange
discharge and clumps that come out sometimes, not always bloody and not
always when I am having a period. I have been living with endo for many
years, diagnosed 12 years ago, so at this point, I honestly don't get
too alarmed at what comes out of my body. I am sure it was scary though
so I wanted to just say that I can kind of relate and I am sure it is
nothing to be worried about. I hope your doc visit went well today.
Hugs!!
