Hi all- I’m new here!
2 years ago I had my first nhs smear test (I’m now 26). Severe changes (grade 3 or whatever the correct term is, I forget!) and HPV. The HPV type was not covered in the vaccine (I had the vaccine at age 17) and it is also a high risk type.
Lletz carried out. 6 month repeat smear showed all hunky dory :)
However, 2 years after lletz, I have started bleeding irregularly after sex. For the last 8-12 weeks.
I finally went to see the GP today about the bleeding (and a mortifying event- I wet the bed this week!!).
I informed her that I’m due on my period today or tomorrow.
She examined me and could visually not see any concerns with the cervix. She was unable to do a smear test as I’m not due a repeat one for another 18 months. But, she did swab for chlamydia. When she put the swab in, she said ‘oh I think your period you were expecting has arrived’ and pulled out a swab with blood on it.
10 hours later...I see no signs of this period she mentions. So now I’m in a right state worrying that the blood has come from something more sinsister!
I have been referred urgently to gynaecology.
Has as anyone else had a ‘period’ arrive during examination? And then it disappears? Or should I be worried that she’s collected blood from something else that she hasn’t been able to see with her eyes? She assured me she sees no ectropian either (I had this 3 years ago).
Sorry for the massive post!
