Transvaginal scan

Hi

just after a bit of advice really. So I had a transvaginal scan a couple of weeks ago after having a period of abdominal pain and very mild spotting. I haven't heard anything from my doctor yet and I'll be calling them on Monday. I have been feeling good, thinking well if there was anything then im assuming I would of heard by now? 
 

But then last night me and my partner had intercourse, it doesn't happen very often. I wiped and there was blood. Now this morning im having light brown pinky discharge. This happened the last time we had intercourse but I put it down to the fact that we hadn't done anything In months. I'm always too tired from the day and don't feel overly enthusiastic about it so I'm also wondering if it's down to dryness?

if anything was wrong would the transvaginal scan have picked it up? I'm not sue a smear for another couple of years. 
 

I've also got very mild lower back pain since the bleeding.

  • Hello Tasha89, 

    I hope you've managed to get in touch with your doctor today and that you have found out more about your transvaginal scan results. It's definitely worth mentioning to your GP that you've noticed blood after intercourse and that it's not the first time it's happened. You could also ask the doctor whether this transvaginal scan would have picked up everything or if you need additional tests in light of this bleeding. There is information on the transvaginal ultrasound scan on this page

    I hope you get some definite answers soon! 

    Best wishes,

    hate the waiting but don't see what else I can do. X
