Mysterious Blood

[marieskye.livejournal.com]

Ok -
So this is weird. I unexpectedly got my period (it wasnt due for another 2 weeks, and Im never this early). I put on a pad, and went about my business. Then I checked the pad, a little bit later, and there was no more blood. That was 2 days ago, and still no more blood. So I was just bleeding for some strange reason, and it looked exactly like period blood. wtf wtf wtf??? did i have a miscarriage, or some weird infection? has this ever happened to anyone before? Do you think I need to make an appt w/ my gyno? Nothing else has happened - no weird smells, or discharge. Im really confused. Help, please! :)

EDITED TO ADD: I am NOT on bc. I know sometimes the pill can cause breakthrough bleeding, but is it normal when you're not on the pill? Thanks again!

I think it depends on how much blood. If it was just a little it should be normal. The occasional spotting is normal. But if it was a significant amount of blood, it could have been something more; maybe a hormone fluctuation or the signs of a cyst or fibroid. I would suggest you wait until you have your period and see if anything else is abnormal (heavier or lighter bleeding than usual, worse than average cramping or PMS, discharge, or anything else that's strange for your body). If everything seems typical, then it was almost certainly nothing (at least nothing that can't wait for your next physical, where you might bring it up if you are still worried). If something is unusual about your period, I would suggest an appointment then.
