Okay, here's the problem. Exactly one week ago, on the morning of Monday the 22nd of September, my fiance and I had intercourse. It was no rougher than usual, although there was possibly a little more friction than normal because we were sneaking in a quickie before leaving for work.

Afterwards I noticed I was bleeding a little. I didn't take too much notice as this has happened before in the past. I think my fiance might be just a little too big, or otherwise I'm a little too small. Either way, the post-sex bleeding always stops within hours.

This time it didn't stop. Three and a half days later I was getting concerned so I went to outpatients at the nearest hospital (I don't currently have a family doctor because of a move for work I made two years ago and the fact that there aren't enough doctors in this province, meaning I actually can't get one, not that I'm just lazy or something...). They took a urine sample and ran for infections and what-not, which came clean, and the doctor did a pelvic exam. During the exam he asked whether I could possibly be pregnant, and I said I assumed not because I'm very careful with my pills, which I've been on for almost 9 years and have never had a problem before. The doctor was almost adamant that I was pregnant because my cervix was "bruised", which he described as having a bluish-purplish hue. A few minutes later a test on my urine told that I wasn't pregnant. The doctor was still unconvinced and told me I should watch carefully for my next period and maybe even take another test in a few weeks.

It has now been a week since the bleeding began, and four days since I saw the doctor at outpatients. I'm still bleeding. It's not a huge amount, but enough that I have to wear liners so as not to ruin my underwear. I'm starting to get concerned again, but I'm hesitant to return to outpatients because I'm not very fond of that doctor after last time.

My official period should start Wednesday, which will prove the pregnancy idea (hopefully false), but I'm worried that even after my period I'll still be bleeding.

I'm avoiding sex now, hoping that whatever the problem is will heal itself and leave me be, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen, and I don't imagine it'll be too long before my fiance starts getting upset with the arrangements.

Any advice or ideas or comments would be great. Thanks for reading!
