Hi, Claudia. Have you considered whether the spotting is from a 'localised' source. I often get some skin irritation after intercourse which results in a little fresh red/pink spotting on toilet tissue when wiping straight after. The spotting does not continue, after this however. If it seems to come from a higher up source then could it be cervical erosion? Also are your pap smear tests up to date?

but when i wipe, pretty clear.
i have some cramping in the left.... and back in jan there was a benign cyst. nothing to worry about they said.

I presume the problem is not from the urinary tract - which could be a urine infection. On the basis you have ruled this out it will be a question of consulting a doctor again. I also had a benign cyst on one ovary when I had my investigations (over a year ago) and have had no problems since. Hope all goes well.

Hi Tracie, it happened to me as well. I had a full period of bleeding for 6 days so my doctor wanted me to go see my OB-GYN and get an ultrasound internal and external. It turned out to be fibroids on the outside of my uterus. Go get your family dr. to get you an appt. It happens alot more then people think. Let me know how you make out.

Wow I am SO glad to find this website... actually stumbled on it while frantically searching for a reason I could be getting my period after 2 years without one... I'm 47 and thought I went through menopause since no period... of course before finding this site Google diagnosed me with several different types of cancer... now after reading how normal post menopausal bleeding can be I'm calmer but still going to make an appointment on Monday

Glad to help and provide some comfort. I am convinced mine was just a normal period caused by a hormone spike due to a time of accute stress (classic signs and investigations came back clear). It is always wise to get it properly checked out though and you are doing the right thing. Best wishes.

Iam 58. Its been nearly 2 years since my last period. this morning i had started to bleed again. Nothing heavy but my breasts felt sore the last few mornings. I have had terrible hot flushes the last few years and had a great emotional shock when my best friend dropped dead in front of me 2 months ago, still in shock. Now the night sweats have suddenly stopped and i get a bleed? I am in the UK and with corvid 19 about I am frightened to go to the docs . feeling scared

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I too had a similar experience a few years back. I was 53 at the time and had no periods for nearly three years. I had what I would call a text-book period for me with sore breasts a few days before. Please look at my previous messages for further details. I am also in the UK so can give you some advice about the procedure. I can sympathise with your worry at this difficult time but you need to speak with your doctors. The doctors dealt with it as a telephone appointment with me as it is a routine referral so no need to see in person. I then received an appointment by letter for a scan (this is a standard type of scan and also a transvaginal ultrasound scan - both are quick and painless). A consultant then saw me to discuss the results. This may be just giving reassurance (depends on the thickness of the womb lining). I had to have further procedures as it was being dealt with under the Scottish system (even though I was in England) with a belts and braces hysteroscopy/biopsy. This was done at the same time under a 'one stop shop' system but I would think that a separate appointment would be given in this current climate if needed so as to avoid backlogs. I believe I had a random period caused by an accute period of stress a few months before and the various test results came back clear so did not contradict this. Please don't worry but do ring your doctors and don't put it off.

Hello lovely ladies of this forum...For the past 2 months l have been following your posts...reading & then re-reading them which really helped keep me sane!....l am 54 yrs old & 3 yrs Post Menopausal...At the end of July,l had a bleed overnight with clots which l believed to have come from my uterus...was referred under the fast track system for a Transvaginal Scan...this resulted in finding a large 3cm polyp, a large fibroid & several smaller fibroids...Next came the Hysteroscopy with Polypectomy & fibroid removal...also had uterine & vaginal biopsies...My anxiety was extreme to say the least...l was so very scared of all the actual procedures & the fear of the unknown...l went through some very dark days overthinking but in the end l tried to tell myself whilst waiting, not to stress over things that i could'nt control, l had done my bit!...Biopsy results showed nothing sinister, although l do have both Vaginal & Endometrial Atrophy for which l'll have to see my G.P. l think?!...this will be my next step...maybe needing oestrogen cream & oral progesterone hormone...but in the meantime, l have started to use Almond Oil during the day & Yes O.B. at night plus Hydromol as a barrier ( for stinging urine) to help myself out whilst trying to figure out what to do next!...My message to anyone going through this is...Please take that first step & go & see your G.P. to get the bleeding checked out...lt has been a very scary journey & l'm not quite out of the woods yet!!...
l'd like to say a heartfelt thank you to each & everyone of the brave & courageous ladies for sharing your stories...l'm so glad l found this forum...l'm also so thankful to the U.K. N.H.S ...from the bleed to biopsy results took 2 months & 1 week!...One last word of advice...try not to Google too much!!!...instead give your trust over to the Professionals who are there to help...l hope my post helps in some small way anyone who is going through this process right now...
Finally, thank you for taking the time out to read this...l'd like to stick around & help out with any worries or concerns if l can
Best wishes & positive thoughts to you all xx
