Hi -
I am 32 years old and have been having spotting between my period for about a couple of years. I have no pain associated with this. I have normal periods that are right on time every month. I am hoping to find someone else who has a similar issue. The blood is either pinkish or brownish, not the red blood from your period. I've been to 3 ob-gyns and no one has been able to figure it out and they dont seem to be taking it very seriously because they checked for fibroids and polyps and cancer through an endometrial biopsy and I have none of those. Then my latest GYN put me on birth control for 3 months to "reset" my system. I just came off the birth control about a month ago and have started spotting between my period again. So clearly the BC didn't work, though while I was on it, I did see a decrease in the spotting between my period. I hate being on BC, so didnt want to continue and my doc said 3 months is enough to reset my system.
Has anyone here had a similar issue and can you tell me what your diagnosis was? Seems like I have to take matters into my own hands with research etc because the doctors cant figure it out.
Hi,
It is so frustrating when you feel like doctors are not taking you seriously! Everyone says to always get checked out for bloody discharge between periods, and then you do, and when the cause isn't one of the obvious things, they just give up looking?
One thing you should consider is asking to have your thyroid checked, because thyroid issues can also cause bleeding between periods. If you have not been tested for sexually transmitted diseases yet, that is another thing to ask about.
The fact of the matter is that the cause of bleeding between periods is not discovered in every case, but it seems like those issues should be ruled out.
