Anxiety over mid cycle bleed

Rachellem

My period has been over for over a week and will not be due to start for quite a while.I just went to the bathroom and when I wiped there was brownish smear.

My periods have always lingered for a few days after heavy bleeding with nothing more then a smear when wiping,but my period was over long ago.I also just had a pap smear a few months ago.


This small amount of spotting that just occured is really freaking me out.

I spotted before and am due for mine, but why does it have to spot lol I get worried because why doesnt It just come right away and not spot?? I'm also worried because I poop like 2-3 times before It comes on and I dont know why lol

This happens to me as well. I have gained a lot of weight recently, and the extra weight is adding pressure to all of my abdomen, making everything work harder for less result.
I finally got smart, brought a small pillow in the bathroom, put it under my larger belly, and that brought so much relief.
Hang in there, you are not alone!

Oh man been there, freaked right out! I googled obsessively and kept finding the same info over and over; brown discharge after your period has ended is simply leftover blood. That's why it's brown. Totally forget about it bc it's only a sign that your period has passed and that's not news to you at all. It is totally normal. This is def not anything to be even remotely concerned about.

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
