Random bleeding

[deadlyrhythm.livejournal.com]

I flipped through the tags and found this VP post but it doesn't quite answer my question so I was hoping you guys could help with my specific situation.

After I had sex with my boyfriend last night, we noticed some blood on his sheets. I assumed it was spotting and we quickly forgot about it. This morning, I went to pee and there was blood in my underwear, lots of blood in the toilet after I urinated, and blood on the tissue I used to wipe. My last period was from April 24-29 so I know it's not my cycle starting. That cycle was a weird one. It was 5 days late and was abnormally light. The blood I'm seeing now is a dark red/brownish color and thin in consistency.

I'm not on any birth control and never have been. Is there reason for me to be concerned about this random bleeding?

If you're having a lot of bleeding now, then that's likely to be an indication of no pregnancy -- though if you got a positive result, it could be an indication of a miscarriage. (I'd check with a doctor to make sure everything's going well, though, because I'm Miss Paranoid.)

Or -- if you get a negative result on the test -- it could just be that your body got a bit stressed, had a light, "absent-minded" period, and then realized "Oh, hay, i forgots to bleed! is bleed tiems nao! FWOOSH!" I had something of the reverse, once; after 68 days between the end of one and the beginning of the next (hey, college finals stress!), I got sick, took antibiotics, and started a scanty, brownish, gunky period, 13 days after the last one'd ended.

Good luck!
