  • Hello Sweetiedoll

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some unexpected bleeding recently. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious. 

    It's good to hear that you've already seen your GP and that the tests you've had so far haven't given any immediate cause for concern. However, it's clear from your post that you're still worried so do make another appointment to go back and speak with your GP again for further advice and support. If they feel additional tests are appropriate they can also organise this. 

    I do hope you have some reassurance soon. 

    Best wishes,
