Hi guys, I’ve been off these forums for a while, but that doesn’t mean my anxiety has gone away. In fact, tonight it has gone through the roof.
So I went to the loo and wiped and had some distinctive red streaks of blood that then turned to pink when I wiped more and lots of watery, clear discharge.
I’ve also had a bit of an ache in my left hip the past two days, but nothing I’ve needed to take anything for. I thought I just strained it at the gym or sitting funny. Of course, my anxiety thinks the worst.
I suffer with awful HA (for many years, triggered by the loss of a relative in my teens) and I also have IBS.
I’ve been stressed and busy this month so I’m not sure if I’ve ovulated. My period is due this Friday (so four days time) however, it can sometimes be later nearly five weeks (which is normal for me) and not always on 28 days (some months it is). I’ve never had spotting this far before it. And the last early period I had was when I was a teen.
I’ve had a couple of periods recently that have been a little bit longer than usual but flow has been the same.
In 2014 I had blood tests, ovary scans, hormone tests, you name it, all fuelled by anxiety and they came back fine. I haven’t had a smear yet as I’m not far past the age to get one (big anxiety fear of mine, but that’s another story).
I don’t really have any females to ask but is it normal to have spotting and discharge like this a week before your period?
I haven’t had sex in a long time, only ever been with one guy and definitely not pregnant lol.
Any help greatly appreciated x
