I still wouldnt worry she's checking for infection etc first.i was thinking that you have been bleeding while on the cool of you had a thickened lining etc and all this has only happened after cool removal and smear.as we get older I think we alf et thinner in the vagina too,it could be something as simple as a tear when removing or just hormonal changes due to coil removal as that keeps everything in balance .are you heavy or is it still light ? is it red or dark old blood? I've been passing dark blood which looks old and I'm on norethesterone so hope it's just break through bleeding xxx

Hi Anne. I am assuming she's testing for poss infection as your coil has been in much longer than it normally should be - so that's logical. & she has agreed to do an ultrasound (probably a transvaginal one) if no infection. I always try to put myself in other people's shoes when answering posts on here, & i think if that were me, i would probably be satisfied with your doc's line of investigation. I've had a transvaginal ultrasound a couple of times, & its really nothing to worry about & over with very quickly. You may get a bit of period type cramping when they do it. Its very easy for me to say try not to worry, but really try your best not to. I understand its the waiting, you just want to know quickly - I've been in that position too, & am currently with other illness ongoing. We have a wondeful nhs, but unfortunately nothing is instant to curb our worries better. Take care Anne, & try to be assured by your doctors test requests. xxx
