Blood in your stool isn't something to be taken lightly. It could be nothing but again it could be something serious. Monday morning call your doctor and make an appointment. The fact that it has been going on for several weeks is more than enough reason for you to seek medical attention. I hope its nothing, but better to be safe than sorry. Good luck
