Hi everyone,
Sorry to go into lots of detail but it's freaking me out. This is the second month that I haven't been taking the pill (as agreed by my doctor as I was getting bleeding/brown discharge a week before my break). Last month, kind of midway through my cycle, I had two days where I passed this brown, sticky mucus...it only seemed to come away when I used the toilet and I didn't find it marked a pad. This stopped and I had a period when I expected it (when I'm not on the pill, my cycle varies in length). I linked it to a change in hormones having come off the pill.
Anyway, it's happened again this morning...a small sticky bit of brown discharge when I wiped myself, 13 days into my cycle.
Logically, I can link it to my menstrual cycle but in the back of my mind, i'm thinking of the scary 'C' word. I'm 27, have a regular boyfriend (we've only just started using condoms as i'm not on the pill) and I had a clean STI screen back in October.
Please help. I'm thinking of going to chat to my GP about it but he must be sick of seeing me.
Thanks
