Scared About this Spotting 2 weeks now! - Women's Health Message Board

Hi Ladies,

A little background ... im 38, married, 2 children not on BC Pill and always had reg 27-29 day cycles.

beginning Jan/07 my periods started coming later and later until my last one was 2 weeks late.

My last one 2 weeks late was a normal flow and the reg 4 days.
About 2 weeks after the last one began i started spotting.
It was pretty light and only showed when i wiped, it eventually changed to red then pink then brown then red again ... each time i think its stopping it starts again ... its now been 2 weeks and still spotting.

I am terrified i have some dreaded diease or something very terrible wrong.

I dont have any cramping or pain and is only there when i wipe up high in my vagina almost like where your cervix is ... would this bleeding be coming from my uterus you think?

I did go to Urgent Care and the dr didnt check me in there and just said its likely hormonal and gave me RX for the pill.

I cant get into see my OB/GYN until the fall.

Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

I assume you have regular check-ups and this spotting is very recent so there hasn't been time for any "dreaded disease" to take hold. Call your gynecologist and describe the irregular bleeding and see if he/she wants to see you before the fall. It could even be perimenopause but nothing to panic about. Whatever it is you are not neglecting it.

Thank you Andrea,

Yes I had my yearly pap in May and im asuming it was fine or they would have called.

I have had the occasional spotting here and there but never lasted anymore then say 2 days ... its just this almost 2 weeks and still spotting that is worrying me.

I did start my BC pills today .. i havent been on the pill in about 15 years so it is pretty new about whats going to happen.

Do you think the spotting will stop once i take the first few days pills?
