is it normal to have irregular bleeding?

Question

I have irregular bleeding and pain during sex with bleeding after is this normal?

Answer 1

How much?: Small degrees of irregularity happens to many women at some point. If you are consistently irregular than would recommend gynecological evaluation to explore further.

Answer 2

No: After a delivery, either c-section or vaginal birth, it is normal to bleed for up to 6 weeks. Your bleeding can also go back and forth between heavy and light and you may have different sized blood clots . If you feel like you are bleeding excessively call your doctor.

Answer 3

Yes please call: Your OB as ppartum bleeding should not be heavy at all and the lochia should be decreasing the farther you are from delivery.

Answer 4

No: A cvs does carry a risk of miscarriage so if your bleeding is very heavy or lasting for more than a few days you should see your doctor.

Answer 5

Placenta implant: When the placenta implants into the inside lining of the uterus it's like a plant growing roots. Maternal blood can leak out during this process and scare women that they may be having a miscarriage. 1st trimester bleeding occurs commonly in 25% of pregnancies, but only results in miscarriage in about half of theses cases. A visit to your OB and a pelvic sonogram is the evaluation needed.

Answer 6

I'd ignore it: 'implantation bleeding' is subtle and unpredictable, if it can be interpreted at all. Internet gossip vastly over-emphasizes the idea of 'implantation bleeding.' implantation always happens 6-7 days after fertilization, so that's the only time you could see it.

Answer 7

Yes: Vaginal bleeding during the first trimester of pregnancy can be a sign of threatened abortion. It can be more serious if you are having abdominal/pelvic pain. Call your OB on call or if you do not have one, go to an emergency room for an ultrasound.

Answer 8

Threatened abortion.: Bleeding in the first trimester is called threatened abortion. It is not that uncommon and typically has to do with subchorionic hematomas that develop as your placenta invades the uterine vessels - to grow. Bed rest and pelvic rest (i.e. No intercourse) are advisable, as well as avoidance of all nsaids including Aspirin (tylenol (acetaminophen) ok). Take Folic Acid >1 mg daily and keep your faith - good luck!

Answer 9

Can be: Are you on any birth control? Any other symptoms? You can keep a menstrual calendar (apps exist, but some just use a pocket calendar) to see what your normal cycle is like. It is not uncommon for many women to have one unusual (for them) cycle per year.
