My doctor said that if she did a pelvic while I was bleeding she wouldn't be able to get an accurate result and that the tests would automatically come back with negative or tainted results. What can cause anovulation bleeding or a polyp? Is it so serious that I should go to an urgent care facility if I can't get in to see her?

Thanks again for your advise. >
