This falls into the TMI category… Probably more so for guys, rather than ladies. You’ve been warned. Ladies I have a “female” question for you below the fold…
I went and had my pap smears done today. I have to have two, because I have a birth defect called Uterine Didelphys, which means I have two uteri, and two cervices. So I have to have a pap smear on both. This one felt the same as all the rest, not extra painful, just very uncomfortable, which is usual for me.
I went back to work, and started working. I felt very very wet, but that’s normal for me – always feel that way due to the lubricant for the instruments. About an hour later, I had to use the restroom. Went in, sat down, and while I was doing my business looked down. Didn’t see anything on my underwear, but it is black. My Pants, however, are not. Baseball size stain – like I started my period. After I wipe, enough blood in the toilet to make me think I started – not just started, well into, my period. I now have a tampon in. Luckilly the pants are stained in the middle of the seam between my legs, so when I stand, it’s in between and you can’t see anything from the front or the back.
I’ve never ever bled like this after an exam or pap. I’ve spotted once or twice… Really just a staining of the toilet paper slightly. Never red blood, never this much.
My question to all you ladies is… Is this normal, and it’s just never happened to me before?
did you call the dr back and let them know? i would. especially if it’s never happened to you before. light spotting might be typical for some women, but that doesn’t seem right IMO. never has happened to me in the last 10 yrs of paps. 🙁
