Hey Melanie, this doesn't sound so good.... if you have a doctors appt.
I would definately mention this to them, if you don't have one coming
up, I'm not sure I would make one just for this, but I would keep track
of things. That is just my opinion though. It is funny what comes out
of us when we don't have regular cycles that is for sure. If it makes
you feel anybetter I have had some pretty yucky period like things too,
but no harm has come. Again, that's just me, I'm not telling you not to
go, I'm saying I wouldn't rush out. Good luck and do keep us posted and
do keep track of cycle's and what I call ... the yuck factor.
Take care, Bonnie
