Hi.

I am 27 years old. I recently booked my first smear for in a few weeks time. For about a week now i have been bleeding on/off. Initially it felt like i had come on my period despite being a bit early. My periods are normally pretty regular and my first few days are heavy then it settles down... anyway, when i thought i had come on i put a pad in and was really suprised later that day when the pad was clear and appeared clear. Over the last week or so this 'bleeding' has come and gone several times, its like a browny red colour and does not smell very nice. I have looked online for cancer signs... i have no pain and i cant comment on the bleeding after sex part because i dont really have sex, its something ive never really enjoyed as ive always found it painful! I have a 2 year old son that was delivered by a planned section. My appetite has been smaller than usual recently but not to the point where id thought anything of it before looking online. I have noticed recently that ive been slightly constipated. And i have been tired... but thats nothing new! Any thoughts??
