I'm new to this forum, but I'm hoping some one can give me a little insight as to what's going on. Here's my story...

Well, I had my peep procedure may 11th. I had normal reactions, such as light cramps and spotting for a few days after. The trouble begins exactly 2 weeks later to the day. I start bleeding heavily. Bright red blood, so I knew it wasn't my period. I made an appoint and seen the doctor the next day which was a Friday. He check me, and said the area had sloughed off and my cervix was bleeding. He applies silver nitrate on the area and sent me on my way. A few hours later the bleeding was back. I called the doctor and he said come in right away. I went in and he checked. He also opened my cervix to check my uterus as well, just to make sure that my period wasn't close and causing some of this. Well, it wasn't. He then tried monsul paste and packed my hooha and cervix with dissolvible styrofoam packing. That lasted the weekend, and the bleeding started again Monday morning. Nothing was working, so my doctor had me come in. He decided he was going to clean the are and cauterize in with the electric cauterize gun. I was put under general anesthesia and he performed the surgery. Today June 11th makes exactly 2 weeks since the last surgery and guess what. The bleeding is back. I woke up this morningwith heavy blood tinged brown discharge, and now it was turned red. I don't know what more can be done. Nothing seems to work. I know this is not my period as I just finished about a week ago. I know the difference between this and period blood.

Well, I was hoping that some one might be able to give me some insight. Maybe some one that had expierced this same issue, or knows a little more about it. I'm going crazy here, I hadlve no idea what the next stop could possibly be. I'm calling my doctor when I wake in the morning, just wanted to hear some of your inputs. So please please feel free to post anything!

Thank you all for reading this!

Sorry no one has replied to you. I really have similar questions but a more gory story which I wont share as it scares me witless(that's why i am answering your post at 4:02 am) I had a very bad cervical hemorrhage at about 10 pm Friday. the possible causes for this were explained to me as maybe infection (tested negative) maybe heavy lifting (i hadn't done any) too much physical excercise(fat chance)or a genetic predisposition to hemorrhage, hope you feel better soon.
Love & best wishes
Alex
