I had a similar experience a few months back. I started having a lot of breakthrough bleeding that was pretty much the same as what you described. Except it was more of a "snot" consistency. It would start about a week after my period was over and last until my next period. It lasted a few months. Then I went to the GYN and he switched my birth control pills. Now I don't have any problems. I was on the original pill for about a year before I had problems. Now I'm on my new one for about 3 months. He told me the hormone level wasn't right for my body.
I don't know if this is what's happening with you or not. It would probably make you feel better to go to the doctor and get everything situated.
I'm sure a GP will be able to help - that's what they're there for!
I used the injection (depo?) for a year and found spotting was one of the side effects. see the link below for more information.
Good luck!
Yes, your GP should be able to help, please go see your dr.
I would see my GP. This is probably a side effect of your birth control. Even tho you didn't have problems with it before your body changes and so does the effect of hormone on it. And even tho most girls do not have a period while on these birth control injections some do. But, I certainly am not a doctor and I'm sure there are other problems that this could be indicative of , so see your doc and good luck!!
Yes, a GP can help, although there shouldn't be much difference in the cost of an office visit to either kind of doctor. When taking birth control, either pill or shots, they can cause all kinds of changes in your periods and spotting, including amount, consistency, color and duration. Because our bodies are constantly changing, these changes can happen at any time, especially when taking hormones.
The brown color of the blood is because there has been enough time for air to oxidize the blood from the time it leaves the uterus until it exits the body.
