I had my LEEP done on June 23rd 10...and since I waited a few weeks before intercourse. The first time i got up to use the bathroom and noticed a spot on the bed about the size of my hand (fingers and all)..it looked to be light brown in color. The second time, about 2-3 weeks later, the same but much less(smaller than my palm)..this time with a slight odor. The nxt time no discharge but i caught a glimpse of the condom & it appeared to have a pinkisk tint to it as if i bled a little..Lastly the latest time(this past wknd) nothing at all..so im thinking the problem is going away until i started my cycle today..& its heavy like a normal cycle faster than usual....& i just had my regular cycle like 2/3wks ago..Should i be concerned about the bleeding??? The funny thing is i seem to be getting more feed back here on the various boards ive visited than when asking my doctor..

Hi there, thank you for posting your question. My area of expertise is in human sexual dysfunction. I hope I can be of some small help to you.

The vag bleeding that you describe here is normal post-LEEP. Nor would I be particularly concerned about an earlier period than expected. You have been through a lot.
