After reading this post, I noticed it had some similarity to what I have been experiencing (See Frequent Bleeding/Spotting - Vivian.) I did make an appt. with nother dr. for a second opinion - I am not sure what to ask. I hope it was O.K. to add to this post - since I share some of the very same concerns! Any advice/assistance is truly appreciated! I am very grateful for this site and its dedication to women's health issues!
