Is This Break Through Bleeding?!?!? Posted: 12-02-04 09:14am
Im on the 5th day of my 2nd week of pills.
Ive posted earlier about how I "thought"
I lost a pill last week (2nd day of white
pills), and this past sun. I took a pill
about 2 minutes ealier (which I know
doesn't make a difference). Im on ortho
tri cyclen lo
ive also posted how I seem to be having
more vaginal discharge this week than I
normally do, which people say is normal.
However, when I went to the bathroom this
morning, some blood came out! I dont
think its my period because I dont have
cramps (my stomach hurts but for other
reasons, and I have abdominal pain thats
worse than normal, but have had it since
march). It wasn't heavy or anything, it
was just some red blood when I wiped, not
much. Is it possible to have break
through bleedin on the second week of my
pills? Its not implantation bleeding or
anything is it?
I also started taking paxil cr a week ago,
would that have anything to do with it?
I havent had sex since sept. 6 and we
used a spermicidal lubricated condom and
before this pack, to my knowledge, ive
taken my pills the same time every day and
never missed any. My fiance' has
pituitary thyroid disease and his doctor
doesnt even think he can have children
right now.
Am I ok?? Or is something wrong?
Im not pregnant, right?

Could be either, but my guess is
breakthrough bleeding. If u miss a pill
or don't take them at the same time every
day this can cause the odd bleeding. I
get it all the time, cuz m-f I take my
pill at 7:30, but on the weekends I don't
take it til sometime between 9-1

I think it is an infection, because that
was the only time I had bleeding (so far
today) and now I have pain and pressure
near my pelvic region, I feel I have to
urinate more, loss of appetite, etc. And
there has been a lot of mucusy discharge
this past week. I called my ob and she
had me come in and take a urine test and
she's gonna send it out for a culture, so
we'll see. Plus, I asked her if it was
possible I got preg. From missing one
pill w/no intercourse (just oral and
stuff), and she said not likely,
especially since i've taken all my other
pills before that correctly.

Hopefully the cat scan of my abdomen and
pelvic area next will show something, so I
can finally do away with all these
pains!!!

I dont think its that, cuz I havent had
sex since september, and I dont think it
would start now, plus with my fiance'
having pituitary/thyroid disease he gets
blood work done and I think he would have
noticed something. And in the last year
we've always used a condom when having sex
(from my knowledge anyway)

Well so far that was the only time I bled
today, maybe I tore something or other or
I had a small cyst somewhere...I dont
know. Im starting to get that "period"
smell already. I know you can start
pmsing two weeks before. I dont know
whats going on. I feel like I have my
period but its too soon and im not
bleeding. I have pelvic pain and
pressure, and I have that "period" feeling
you get down there, I dont know. My gyno
said my urine looks good so far but she's
sending it out for a culture.
I think im just making myself sick.

I think you seriously need to calm down.
You are getting yourself so worked up that
you are probably causing all of these
things due to your stress/anxiety level
sweetie!! That anxiety can just as
easily cause breakthrough bleeding. Even
when I wasn't stressed, every now and then
I would get a month where I would have a
mini-period (sometimes cramps) in the
middle of the month.. Then get one again
at my normal time. When I was on lo
estrogen it occured often.. But that's
why I went off of it. It's still good
that you went to the doc... At least they
can clear maybe having a uti or yeast
infection..
