Hi,
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar or has any ideas for me.

I am 29 years old, been on the contraceptive pill for 14 years. My periods usually last 2-3 days.

The last 2 months havent been right.

Last month i came on a day late and was only on for a day (if that!!!!)and wasn't very heavy

This month, i came on on tue (22nd) evening, it was a light red, but because i had just come on i put a towel on. No sign of anything on it!

Since then, there is nothing there. i don't even need to use anything!

I know this sounds discusting, Sorry. but when i wiped myself this morning, it was dark, like old blood.

I've got period pains, feeling tired, feel bruised around my middle and have bad back pains (which i don't get while on my period)
I have also found that i have put loads of weight on recently.

I don't want to go to the docs/nurse because they are not very helpful.

Can anyone give me any clues? x

Thanks for getting back to me.

I did a test yesterday, it was negative. I also did one last month when my period wasn't normal.

I think i might have to go to the doctors, i really don't want to though. There are no female doctors at my surgery. Trying to explain womens problems to a male doctor is a pain, they just don't seem to understand!! lol
