Hi...

I hate to sound particularly ignorant here, but I just started bleeding yesterday, sort of. And, well I think it might not be my period. I'm not due for another week, and my cycle is usually pretty reliable. I haven't had any unusual events recently that might have triggered an early period. And usually I know my period is coming about a week before because I get hugely pre-menstrually cranky. I also usually get cramps, and my tummy is sorta sore, but not like cramps, a bit higher and different.

It's just a little bit of blood, that seems to come when I, er, strain. But it's definately from my cunt. (Well, I'm not feeling like I have a UTI, but I guess sometimes it's hard to tell whether the blood is coming from there.)

So, are there any reasons other than menstruation that I might be bleeding? Like... er... ruptured ovary or.... alien invasion... or... I don't know. I guess I am a hypochondriac sometimes but I know my body quite well, and this is unusual, and I have a bad feeling about it.

it sounds like spotting, since from what you described it doesn't sound like it's heavy bleeding. if it was it could be a symptom of a larger problem, but...

birth control pills, stress, exercise, slight trauma during sex/masturbation, ovarian cysts, etc. could all trigger spotting. i wouldn't worry too much about it unless it becomes painful or heavy, or if it keeps happening over the next month or so.

good luck!

It's definately heavier than any spotting I've ever had, but I guess I'll just wait and see if it really is between perios or if for some freak reason I've just come a week early. Hmm. :/
