Don't know what's going on! But I'm stressed about it

Ladies if you have this issue right at this moment please leave me a comment cause I'm finding it really fucking annoying now ..... I started my period Monday gone and its now day 7 but I'm finding I'm not having any blood on my pads hardly that is but when I use the toilet and wipe BLOOD IS THERE!!!! honestly what in the blue fuck is going on and I'm noticing it is slightly thicker blood too ...... what does this mean! Cause I feel like this period is taking the piss to end

Hi luv, are you sure it’s a period and not a water/bladder infection. Same pain but blood in your bladder which only shows when you pee. Sometimes you can get large clots of blood forming too so thick blobs!I suggest you go to the GP and get a urine sample and some antibiotics x

It's not coming from my pee hole it's the other one 😒 and it's still bleeding today I've been intouch with my gp practice and I have to wait till this afternoon to get an appointment

I get this too! It is very annoying. Before I went on the pill my periods were 3-5 days. After coming off the pill they are now 3-5 days of normal bleeding then 2-4 days, some times even longer, of what you describe. A tiny bit on my pad but mainly just when wiping. The stuff on my pad is brown but when I wipe it is sometimes red/fresh. It really annoys me too as I should be done and it’s so little it seems pointless. I wish I could just condense it into an hour more of normal period instead of having days of this tiny amount. I don’t know if it has anything to do with me getting the copper IUD. i would also love to find out what is going on!

It’s the copper IUD!!! I literally have the same thing. I came off the patch and put the coil in. The first month was fine and I had a period but then it didn’t stop, it was constant spotting - every time I wiped there was blood and dark brown discharge (used panty liners as not heavy at all). I think it’s been 6wks of constant spotting and the past two, I’ve been on my period for. I say it’s my period as there’s actual flow and I can feel it.

I’ve tried the coil before but took it out after 5 months as I was constantly spotting. However I really don’t want hormones so my gynae said to try again if I wanted but have to go at least 6 months. I’m praying by November everything regulates as it’s very stressful. I’m trying to lose the lockdown weight desperately too to see if that really helps 🤷🏾‍♀️
