Bleeding for a week - when should I REALLY worry?From: jodi (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 1 Feb 2002 07:39:10 -0600 (CST)
Hi all... I decided some time ago to stop reading PCOS-related stuff on the net in an effort to stop obessing over this damn disorder. Something WOULD happen to prevent my not thinking about my reproductive organs 24/7, though... For the last week, I have been bleeding. It is NOT a period - not a normal period, at any rate - since I just had a period starting January 15. At first I thought maybe this was ovulatory spotting, even though I had never had that... but by the second day when I had cramps and needed to wear a pad, I knew this was just too heavy to be that. This is now the 8th day of bleeding, if I count the two light days of spotting before I started really bleeding... and I'm quite freaked out. I have always been the sort to go forever without bleeding, not the sort to bleed frequently. So, I have never had anything happen like this before. I did start a new job recently, and I have had two people tell me it's probably the stress of the new job... but I don't know. I have been under stress before. Compared to the stress I have been under in college, I really don't feel stressed out at all these days, actually... so I really don't think I buy the new job explanation. I just have no idea what is happening and I have all these fears of cancer or SOMETHING terrbily wrong... How long should I wait before I try to see a doctor? - jodi
