Bleeding, scared! - Cancer: Breast Message Board

I started my regular period sunday, 2 weeks ago. I bled normally for 4-5 days, stopped for a day or 2, then started spotting 'black blood' when I wiped after urinating. Then it was in my panties, still black. Then just started bleeding with clots, to. Stopped yesterday, no blood, no black. This AM still nothing. Then after urinating, wiped and the blood is back.
I have cramping in very lower abs, just above the top of my thighs. Moves from the right to left, and has almost a burning with it.
Supposed to have a pap monday, but if bleeding still they will not do. I have NEVER done this before. I have had dizziness in the recent past and doc said I was pale in my eyes and my eyes' were jerky when following his finger. May be 2 seperate things...?
It has been 4 years at least since my last pap....doc basically cut my with the metal thing and this exp and others like it, keep me from going in the 1st place. That's off the subject.
Does anyone else have or have had this symptom? I have the bloating, weight gain, fullness, gas (but have always had bad gas) but now I actually let it out...which I have never done before...sorry so long
Thanks
Teri

Are you or do you suspect that you might be pregnant? I would go to the doctor, if I were you! I understand that you had a bad experience before, but if you don't go and there is something wrong with you, the only thing you're doing is making it worse. It sounds like something that should be taken care of right away!

Thanks Kim,
I thought it sounded like being pregnant, too. But I had my tubes tied, burnt, cut, etc 11yrs ago.
I will go. I was reading something just now, about the hormones and cervical or ovarian cancer. I have noticed lately, that the hair on my legs is nowhere near what it used to be just a few months ago. It does not grow back as fast, thick. there are places where it has quit growing all together.
I have an appt w/ my reg Dr. I think I may go to gyno instead..
Thanks for your input....very much
BTW:: I am also having sharp pains in my nipples. It moves from one to the other. I have gained 20+ lbs.

Believe it or not, in this *** up world that we live in, just because a doctor says he did something doesn't mean it actually happened! I know it's disturbing, but it's reality. I've recently heard of doctor's sewing their patients with instruments still inside

! I also read about a doctor who performed corrective surgery on this young mother and, while he was at it, gave this woman a hysterectomy because he felt that because she was a young mother, she wasn't capable of handling any more kids. Can you believe that?!?!?! I find a good dr & get some extensive testing done to ease my mind!
