MENORRHAGIA: Abnormal bleeding - unknown cause, Worried!!From: anonymous@obgyn.netFri, 14 Sep 2007 08:05:35 -0500 (CDT)
Hi, Apologies for the long post, I'm a 22 yr old female who's experiencing some abnormal bleeding and it's got me very concerned and quite frustrated. I'm trying to finish a thesis and the situation has got me worried to the point of severe distraction, I hope someone can help. Just over 3 weeks ago I started spotting bright pink blood, quite light at first but then it progressed to heavier, brown blood. The bleeding continued for a week and then stopped. Four or five days later it started again, this time bright pink the entire time. It continued for about 5-6 days then disappeared. Two days ago, after about a week with no bleeding, it started again. It was again bright pink. I would have put this down to a strange period (and did, for the first few days of all this) except that something felt wrong and the bleeding just doesn't seem right. Firstly, the bleeding started on the 21st, and my periods normally start right at the end/very beginning of the month. Secondly, I'm on Implanon and have had amenorrhea since I had it re-inserted in May. I would say that it's the Implanon playing up, except that I'm pretty sure I actually had that happen before (Nov/Dec last year, after having my first implant for just over 2.5 years) and this seems different. The blood doesn't seem to 'flow' like it does with a period or when the 'contimual bleeding' from the implanon(?) started - it's mostly when I wipe and it's definately a different colour. I've never had bright pink spotting or continual brown before. I'm not sure if any of this is related, but I've put on over 5 kgs in the last 2.5 weeks, have slight cramps/dull pain and feel nauseous and bloated. I'm also insulin-dependent diabetic and was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome earlier last year. I went to see the doctor yesterday. She ordered bloods and took a smear. She noted the blood when looking at the cervix but said she couldn't see any obvious reason for it. She sent me for both an abdominal and pelvic ultrasound. The abdo ultrasound came back normal, the one for the pelvis detected "atrophic endometrium measuring 2mm" (?? What does this mean??) and peripheral follicles on each ovary. There was no free fluid or abnormal adnexal mass found. Any ideas on what could be wrong with me? *is hopeful* anybody know? Thanks =)
