Re: Spotting? My reply after visiting gyno

Thurs, 17 Jan 2002:
Thank you for responding. I had a visit with my gyno and explained all
of the symptoms I have been experiencing. Even though I was bleeding,
she was able to do a full vaginal exam and found no problems. She did
not have an answer for me as to why I am having what appears to be a
period over a week earlier than anticipated, given that I have been
taking the Mircette faithfully at the same time every day and not
missing pills. There is also no explanation for the discharge and
itching, either. A urine-based pregnancy test came up negative. We are
not sure if perhaps my body is just reacting to the Mircette. In the
meantime, I am uncomfortably cramping and bleeding while I wait for my
"real" period to come next week.
Do you have any suggestions, or has anyone else experienced something
similar?
Thank you again!

I had thought that I would not be having extreme side effects any longer. This past month, however, I have had heavy yellow-brown discharge (it comes in "gushes"), vaginal itching, and reddish-brown spotting with lots of cramping. My period was barely two weeks ago, and extremely light. I am trying to understand what is going on in my body, and am not sure what to think (fibroids? side effects from the Mircette? bacterial infection? pregnancy?)....
