Blood After ST? (TMI)

LuckyAngel07 · November 2013

There was enough to make the tissue I cleaned up with look a little like I had a bloody nose. I noticed a very small amount of very, very light brown tinged CM/discharge earlier when I'd gone to the bathroom.

Do I need to worry? Because I'm panicking a little. And I don't think I can get a hold of anyone at my doctor's office; they just have the emergency line on the weekends.

I had bleeding off and on from 6-9 weeks, but it wasn't due to ST, just random. You probably just irritated your cervix. I know that's not terribly reassuring and you'll probably still worry (like most of us do!) but I think you will find that a lot of us had spotting or more early on. I'm sorry you're having this problem.

I have no experience, but spin is wise! It seems very common. I hope it's just irritation, and it goes away quickly so you can relax! I know it must be easier said than done though

It is very common. The Dr told me it wasn't anything to worry about, and not to be alarmed if brown blood sticks around for a few days.

Thanks @spin25. I've had slight bleeding after ST a couple of times previously, but it hasn't happened in quite a while, and obviously never when I was pg! I do know that some spotting can be perfectly normal, so I was trying not to let the little bit of light brown earlier get to me, but then cleaning up after ST I freaked out a little at the bright red.

I'm probably going to end up running to the bathroom every 20 minutes while we're at my friend's party tonight to check on the situation!

It's likely irritation and is very common, but for your own peace of mind you can always see your doc on Monday. I spotted after ST my whole pregnancy with my son, as well as in the first tri, but it still made me nervous. Obviously I had a healthy baby in the end.

I also spotted brown from 6w till the end with the partial molar so I am now not convinced brown is always no big deal. Not trying to make you more nervous, but I just want to be real. It could be nothing, could be something.

So long as you don't have pain or cramping, you should be fine. Spotting is somewhat normal, especially after ST.

My doctor told me that if you have spotting you should not have ST for a few days after the spotting goes away. I think he said 3 or 5 days? I know that sucks but I would think it is better to err on the safe side. I hope it stops soon!

Thanks for the input ladies. I'm thinking we'll be doing other things for the most part from now on, for my own peace of mind.

Stupid mobile.
I had bleeding early on too after ST, but it was nothing. Just try to relax about it and take care of yourself. It is common and I hope you can see your Dr. soon so you'll get a peace of mind.

I had a fair bit of bleeding from 5-10 weeks... Like enough that I considered going to the ER on more than one occasion. ST made me bleed too so we avoided until our first u/s just in case.

I know you will syill be nervous (I would be/was too) but your cervix has so much added blood flow to that area. My doctor said it is like the inside of your nose on a cold day. If you shoved something in there repeatedly itwoukd probably bleed, and with the tissue that your cervix is made up of. I hope you can get it checked out soon to ease your mind!

Thanks again ladies. It did continue to run a little over the course of the night, but nothing heavy or clotted. My first appt isn't for another week and a half. If it's better today, I'll just avoid ST and wait until my appt. If I'm still having it, I'll probably call tomorrow and see if I can get in there Tuesday or Wednesday just so I can relax.

I was hoping not to have bleeding, even though it's common, just so I wouldn't freak myself out like this! Haha.
