Hi, i'm 28, and have two children- no trouble conceiving, no previous wonky period history- always normal, never any cramps or anything.
My youngest child is nearly 10 months old, and my periods had returned to normal, I went back on the pill ohh....6 months ago now.
Last month, a week after my normal period ended, I started bleeding again (so, day 14 or so of my cycle) it was exactly like a period in terms of flow and duration- 5-6 days later it ended.
I wasn't sure when to expect my next period, but it ended up coming 28 days after the first day of the second bleed. It ended as usual, and I was happily taking my active pills again thinking all was resotored to normal. A week into the active pills, and the bleeding started again, enough to need to use a tampon etc, but not a normal period type flow. I figured as soon as it stopped i'd go and get a pap smear, which i'm overdue for, but it's been 10 days now and i'm still bleeding. Instead of getting lighter, it's getting heavier, and instead of being brownish, it's getting more and more red.
As far as my pill packet tells me, I have only about 6 days of active pills left, before my period is due again- what do you think is going on here???
I'm definately not in any pain, but starting to get concerned.
Any thoughts? I'm pretty sure if I go to a doctor they'll just tell me to come back for a look at things when the bleeding has stopped.
