Hi there,
Recently I've noticed bleeding during my cycle when I shouldn't be. I'm not pregnant.

It first was noticed during intercourse. Just a small amount making me Think AF would arrive shortly - nothing.
A week later it happened again, more blood this time. 2 days later AF began.
I decided when getting my Pap smear this week to mention it. Dr didn't seem happy about it but said he'd do the smear and see what the results were and if it happened again to go and see him.
After the smear, he showed me that his instruments had blood on them, but assured me it was common.
It didn't hurt and it's never happened before. He said he didn't see anything abnormal during the smear.

As you might imagine, I've got all sorts of things going through my head. I'm scared about what the smear might uncover, but I hate waiting to find out. I'm worried its something sinister. I've never bled during or after intercourse before.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
