Hello Worried.wilso, 

Welcome to our forum. Unfortunately no one here will be able to tell you more about your symptoms. Your GP will be in the best position to diagnose you properly. It sounds like you are not getting anywhere with your GP and covid having also delayed your follow up appointment, it might be worth perhaps trying to talk to another doctor and getting a second opinion on this. You can find out more on how to do so on this page. 

I hope you find out more soon about what is causing this and that it gets sorted once and for all for you quickly.

Best wishes,

Hey hun

hope you're ok 

I have just read your post 

I have been getting a black/brown discharge after missing my December period and I'm really worried it was definitely more of discharge then blood but the colour was very very dark more so black

over the last few months I have been experiencing a lot of random unusual things that happen at different times from headaches, chest pains, irregular/missed/late/replaced periods, lump on neck, terrmors you name it 

they all come at different times and last for a few weeks stop and then something else comes but then the previous things settle but are still present on a weekly basis 

i had my first smear yesterday and the black/brown discharge I haven't noticed since but instead a real watery discharge which I have noticed in the past ( not much smell ) but very watery to the point I can feel it coming out :/

just wondering if you've had any updates or any closure on your situation 

hope you're keeping well 

love

Hi Ell,

Sorry to hear you're having worrying symptoms too.

I was having trouble getting seen by my normal doctor so I saw a private one virtually. 

He noted my symptoms and was encouraged that I had blood tests that didn't show anything the first time around. He didn't seem that concerned about the pain during sex either because it is deep pelvic pain rather than surface level. He said it was likely nothing sinister but encouraged I follow up with a gynaecologist. Maybe you should do the same?

My discharge sounds similar to yours but my periods have been regular. I feel like maybe not everything is expelled during my period so it comes out when my hormones change over the rest of the month, which sounds different to your situation maybe. 

I cut out caffeine completely and the discharge lightened last month, maybe a coincidence but something to consider? 

Good luck with finding an answer, try not to stress too much if you can - we are all under a lot of pressure right now and I wonder how it is affecting our bodies! 

Same I've been getting this too. But I do have the implant in my arm. I also have a cyst and some "growth" attached to it. I have sn app next week. I pray its all normal. I justcwish there was a way to rule out everything sinister.
