DP here. Well, my gyn is making me get a pelvic TV ultrasound and an endometriol biopsy to rule out precancerous hyperplasia and endometrial or uterine cancer. She says it can be normal but before assuming it is, you have to have tests to rule out cancer.
How old are you?
Late forties. In perimenopause. I'm utterly confused as to why I need to get a biopsy for what I thought was normal in perimenopause, but my point is apparently it can be a bad thing and you ARE supposed to bring it up and discuss with your doctor.
And I find it offensive the "stop posting about this" person is trying to shut down women discussing their periods, spotting, perimenopause, etc. This is a health board. Women too often are told to keep any symptoms about their pelvic region quiet and to themselves. That's bad for women's health overall because then we know less about our health and society and the medical community focuses less on our issues. And labelling women as anxious has historically been a way to dismiss their health problems.
I'm a woman in my 40's. Mid-cycle spotting is normal from the start of menstruation to menopause and has been forever. This constant reassurance-seeking is NOT normal, though.
Well, both my gyn and my pcp disagree with you and are insisting I get it checked out.

Seriously! Hear hear. Also, PP, this happens to me, and I had a TVUS when it first began, which found nothing. Does yours happen at the exact same time every month? If it's clockwork, it's hormonal, per my doctor, who is a Menopause Clinic director and specializes in this (a concierge practice). Mine always happens on Day 14. Your estrogen dips which spurs it.
Thanks.

Stop giving this poster reassurance. It feeds her anxiety.

Huh? I didn't post the thread below that mentions fibroids. What's up with the "you again"? Be nice.

Seriously just stop. Continually asking for reassurance is making your anxiety worse.

It's literally down to the day. On cycle day 15, I get a brownish glop of old blood (I assume it's old blood) swirled with cervical mucus. It's always the same day, for one day only. Is this hormonal? Why is it brown and not red? What the heck is going on here?
