I've been lightly bleeding (bright red) for almost 10 days now in between my periods. I feel perfectly fine, and it is VERY light now, but I had a football-sized cyst removed from my abdomen last year, and an ovary removed because of it. Should I be worried? I can't get an appt. with my gyn until next week...

Thank you for taking the time to post your question to AMHD. We will try to help you, but remember, we are not doctors and our advice should never be used instead of that of your doctor.

Are you on any form of birth control? If so, what kind and for how long?

No, I tried birth control last year and had a horrible reaction... it started making my liver fail (jaundice, couldn't keep food down, etc). As soon as my Dr. told me to stop taking it, I started literally getting better the next day. He said I was "one of the unlucky few" with that reaction. I know I'm not pregnant, and don't even have any cramps. Thank you for any advice you may have!
