Bleeding for over a month?Just wondering if anyone's had anything similar. I've been having some light bleeding since a week after the end of my last period. It's been over a month now and it still hasn't cleared up. I only get a few drops of blood a day and the colour is usually very dark. I've read that this is common for people on the pill but I've never been on any pills or birth control. I can't be pregnant either.
I've tried making an appointment but my gp's booked for the whole of next week. So just want to get some opinions beforehand. Thanks. -

Re: Bleeding for over a month?I'd go to your Dr. It doesn't hurt getting a wee check up
I am prone to spotting maybe 2 or 3 days before and after my period but yours sounds like a wee bit more serious.
Are you in pain or discomfort with it OP? x -

Re: Bleeding for over a month?Is it possible that you have an infection? Not necessarily STI?(Original post by Anonymous)
I'm not able to make a doctor appointment for another week or so. I've been getting some very mild cramps for the last couple of days but I don't have any more noticeable discomfort. -

Re: Bleeding for over a month?Not sure what kind of infection could cause these symptons. It seems like infections in the area normally cause unpleasant smells which is not the case.
I had something similar years ago while I was stressed at uni but it cleared up within days of me moving back home. I've been on holiday for over a week now and if anything it's getting worse so I although I hope it's just a slight hormonal imbalance, I'm worried that it's something more serious.
