Period talk: Questions and advice
in Women's Health ·
Alright, here’s the situation: I have PCOS, and during my last checkup, they diagnosed me with chlamydia, so I’ve been on a course of antibiotics. My cycle usually runs anywhere from 35 to 40 days and lasts about five days. For instance, I had my period on January 15th, then nothing in February, and then it finally showed up on March 18th. What’s actually worrying me is that on April 11th, I started having this brownish discharge, which turned into bleeding by the second day. It wasn't as heavy as my actual period, but it was fresh, dark red blood—enough that I absolutely had to use pads. By the third day, it lightened up, and by the fourth, it was just spotting on the pad or when I wiped. I didn't really have any typical PMS symptoms beforehand, just some mild abdominal discomfort. It felt more like a dull, radiating heat rather than sharp cramps.
I’ve had sex four times, and every single time my boyfriend used a condom, and none of them broke. Our most recent encounter was on April 7th.
Now that I’ve laid everything out, does anyone have any idea what might be going on? To make matters worse, my gynecologist can't see me for another month and a half. :/
