Fresh red spotting 2 weeks after lochia stopped!

[LuSmith]

Hi there...

Not sure if anyone will have experienced this, but worth a shot. I called up the doctor the other day regarding a light pink discharge that I'd noticed on my pad and when I wiped occasionally. I also had a string of dark pink discharge that I was unsure about too. My lochia had stopped around 4 weeks pp! I'm now coming up to 6 weeks pp. Doctor said it might be first period or something similar but not to worry too much and if I was concerned to see a doctor when I can.

Today I went to the out of hours doctor for some other problem (unrelated) and he had to press really hard on my lower abdomen and upper abdomen. When I got home a few hours later I went for a pee, and I had a slight spotting of fresh red blood, plus noticed some pink discharge on my pantyliner. Could this small amount of blood be from where he pressed too hard and I still had some around the lining of my uterus?? or would that make no sense considering I had pink discharge previous to the appointment. I've had some cramping but not severe and not sure if connected since it's to do with a different problem I'm having right now. I'm also frequently urinating but I have overactive bladder problems all the same and I get really affected by this when I'm colder.

Has anyone else ever stopped bleeding and then 2 weeks later started spotting? It's barely anything but I'm concerned! I'd be more concerned obviously if it was heavy or I had serious cramping but I don't think it's a haemmorage. Could be a UTI? I'm thinking of going to the doctors for a check tomorrow anyway but want others experiences.. my 6 week check isn't until the 29th Nov in 9 days.

Thats what I thought but it's not heavy enough to even be called a light period, there's barely anything on the pantyliner! I also have a yellowy discharge (which I've been told is normal by some doctors and abnormal by others..) and pain in my pelvis I've been given antibiotics to be safe but I'm scared it's something I should be getting an internal for as I kind of chickened out at the doctors.....

I had random bleeding on and off up to 12 weeks pp and just considered it lochia. 6 weeks is deffo normal to still have it! Your body is swimming with hormones, I'm sure its just one of those things.

I think it might be! I went to the doctors all the same and they gave me antibiotics to cover any infection. Feeling a bit more normal now, still tender sometimes.
