Hi May,

Have you been checked for fibroids? I have alot of the same symptoms along with ocassional bleeding after intercourse for about 3 years now, I have had paps, sonograms, D&C, you name it. Still haven't found cause. It is not consistant every month just here and there. I am 9 yrs. older than you but have had the fibroids for awhile and ll of a suffen in my 40's it started to be a problem. Right now that is being ruled as the cause of my problems along with hormonal fluctuations which affect the fibroids. I'm not saying this is your story but you should request an ultrasound. The cervix is the most common cause for that type of bleeding but it can also come from the uterus. And just because the pap was normal doesn't mean the cervix shouldn't be checked in more depth, though todays paps are fairly accurate. I know someone who's uterine cancer was caught on a pap. and also maybe an endometrial biopsy. Don't stop until you get an answer, it's your right to be sure that there is nothing seriously wrong. If your dr. won't do it find another one. None of the tests are painful. surgery for the biopsy is a D&C, you will be put to sleep, for about 10-15 min. or they can do it in the office but I've heard that's a little painful,I always opted for the D&C. Good Luck. >
