Need of help and a advice from a scared mummy of two

Hi there Abbie,  welcome to our forum and I hope your children are treating you right on Mothers Day.

What a worrying time you are having. Sometimes our lady bits give us nothing but trouble don’t they! None of us here are medically qualified so we can’t really help with the cause of the bleeding. But obviously something has gone wrong so you are doing the best thing in getting it investigated. All of us here will tell you you waiting for a diagnosis ( of whatever kind) is the pits, as our brains go into overdrive thinking “what if….”.

From what I’ve read here from other ladies you may need to keep pressing for help and don’t be brushed off. We know our own bodies and when something isn’t right. So, not much info from me, but I hope you get some answers soon.

Hi Abbie and welcome.

The cells which grow on the outside of the cervix but are glandular cells which normally grow on the inside is a condition called cervical ectropion and is not connected with cancer. It can cause bleeding however. 

Definitely seems like you need further investigations-the laparoscopy or maybe an EUA which is an examination under anaesthetic. Unfortunately no-one here can say what might be causing your bleeding, but hopefully you will get referred after your appointment and get some answers soon. It’s always a very worrying time when we don’t know what is causing symptoms, but try not to assume anything just yet until you know more. Just take things a day at a time if you can.
