Almost 1 YPO And...
41 F, had a medically necessary supracervical hysto with bilateral salpingectomy last June. Life is WAY better on the other side, even though I still get very light periods for a few days every month. Still so much easier than fibroid periods,I dont even have to wear pads anymore.
Then this month happened. I don't know what changed (no new medications, exercise changes, diet, etc) but I started spotting several days before the day I anticipated my "period" starting. It was 25 days since my last and I usually have 28-30 day cycles. Whatever, stuff happens, right?
Except that I am still getting red/pink spotting six days later. I can go hours with nothing, think it's finally over, then bam! More shows up in the toilet paper. It is not heavy enough to even need a liner but I'm also dealing with a cold and I want it to just stop. I made an appointment at my local Planned Parenthood for next week (I didn't want to expose anyone to my germs.) I will ask for an internal exam.
It will be exactly a year since my hysto on June 3. I really, REALLY do not want another surgery to remove my cervix. I kept it in good faith due to no abnormal Paps, quicker recovery, and helping my pelvic floor. I didn't even mind the mini-periods cause they've been so much easier than what I had before, but this constant spotting is driving me CRAZY. I don't need the reminder that my body can still make endometrial tissue! And I hate freaking out about the possibility of new fibroids forming.
I know that might not be the root cause, but it's where my mind goes.
Had to vent. Thanks for listening.
