Hi [@Ljp_]‍ im replying to your post as I had a very similar experience! I bled after my last smear at the end of March, sounds like the same as yours. So I'm just wondering how you are now? Unfortunately for me the bleeding has persisted and I'm still trying to find out the cause 

Hi [@Nicola86]‍ 

My bleeding lasted about a week or just over. It was very heavy with clots and I was in pain. I'm feeling better now, my smear test back back normal, that took about 5 weeks for results. My doctors ended up sending me to have a pelvic ultrasound, which again came back normal. I also bled after the ultrasound which again worried me. My doctor thought that I may have Cervical ectropion, which could have been knocked and started bleeding after the smear and ultrasound. They said that because everything came back normal to just keep an eye on things and if anything happens again to contact them.

I understand how you feel, it's very worrying. My bleeding started at the weekend and I ended up calling 111 because there was so much blood. They advised that my doctor sent me for a ultrasound, so I pushed it with my GP, who was very unhelpful at first.

I hope this helps and you start to get back to normal soon xx

Thankyou for the reply yes Iv been bleeding on and off now for almost a month. I'm booked in for an ultrasound in May but I got told there was mild erosion on my cervix so I'm wanting a second opinion on that which I'm going to push for with my gp. I'm just so scared that they missed something on my smear coz I got my results really fast & I literally didn't feel a thing when they did it so that's also worrying, glad you're feeling a lot better xxx

Did they notice the erosion on the smear test examination? I think erosion of the cervix is the same as cervical ectropion, but I'm not 100%. I understand how you feel, I felt the same with my GP as they weren't going to send me for an ultrasound I had to push it. Was your smear test results normal? I honestly didn't feel a thing either with my smear test and they are normally a little uncomfortable for me because I have a tilted womb.

I hope everything goes well with your ultrasound xx

The lady didn't mention seeing anything at my smear. I only found out about my erosion because I went to the gp for suspected uterus proplapse. Have u had any bleeding since u stopped? I'm fuming because all this only started when u had my smear xx

The bleeding has stopped since, only bleeding I've had is after the ultrasound and a normal period. I bet you are, it's really worrying and unsettling. I hope everything comes back normal for you xx

Thankyou, I'm actually thinking of going private for another smear test my anxiety is that bad about it. When u bled was it a proper bleed or was it light some days and heavy others? Iv literally had 2 days of not bleeding since 31st March. I just know something isn't right at all. Thanks for listening xxx

I understand you must be worried. It was heavy with clots, like gushing out for 3 days, constantly changing pads then it started to get lighter and lighter over the week and then stopped. Is yours heavy period bleeding all the time or spotting? No problem, I get where you are coming from the anxiety of it. Xxx

Mine varies, like over the weekend I was spotting Friday, then Saturday I bled more, yesterday was like a heavy period and this morning, now tonight I'm back to really light this is why I'm so anxious because I know for a fact that I won't stop bleeding as it's been going on for a month now. Iv started writing down what my blood is like. I'm seeing another doctor on Friday to look at my cervix again, and go from there I guess ‍♀️ I'm actually thinking of going private for another smear test. Costs a lot of money but there's no price on peace of mind xx

Hi girls sorry to jump in. Found this thread through searching Google, as this exact thing is happening to me. I had a smear 12th May and im still bleeding. The gp has given me tablets to stop the bleeding so they can take a look, I've been on them for 4 days and its not stopped the bleeding at all. 

Have either of u heard back? What was the outcome? Xx

Hey Iv got same problems I came across this chat in the hope for indication what it could be 

I had smear 17 days ago and have been bleeding ever since starting spotting and now need a pad. Blood is bright and fresh cramps were on and off but very mild. 
2 days ago on my way home from holiday on the plane I got the worst stomach cramps period pain type and I haven't been abale to stand up straight from the pain took 25mg codeine and Ibroprofen but the pain is still there and the bleeding. 
went to Gp straight away they have prescribed 50mg of codeine, and tablets to stop the bleeding and referred for gyni clinic and a scan don't know how long any will take ... 

it's worrying that all these meds I'm on to help with pain relief are still leaving me with pain and that I'm still bleeding of course.

the consultant my GP called said not connecting the smear with the symptoms happening straight after which is really concerning they treating as just new condition that's happened as it happened as a result of the smear.

had anyone here had any results or any information that could help ?

might be worth mentioning Iv been on the birth control pill carazette for nearly two years and havnt not had a period in nearly two years when I started these tablets .... 

im in so much agony just baffled how it can randomly just happen like this and of course concerned what it could be. Smear results came back fine ... 

thanks girls 

Hi

ive searched and found this chat.
 

as I had my smear one week ago and been spotting daily - but one pad only a day (not heavy). I have some slight cramping

So wanted to know how you all are and if i should do anything else or just wait 

Hey 

same boat as me although I've not had a smear I had swabs to check for infection.

since Friday I've had brown bleeding then red bleeding .. slight cramps but blood mostly when wipe day 4 now I'm worried as to why and waiting to see my GP again.

so worried xxx

Hi, 

Ive found this chat after a long worrying night. I had a smear on Thursday and it took 2 nurses to find my cervix once found they said it was covered in cells. It was a very painfully swab and I bleed a small amount straight away. Saturday I started bleeding like a very light period but it's still going. I have minor cramps also. I'm so scared it cancer I'm in full panic mode, 111 were called but they weren't much help.

Hi misskitty

It is normal to have bleeding, especially if the test was difficult, and some ladies have more than others. You’ll need to wait for results to see what has been found, but don’t jump to a cancer diagnosis right away without knowing more. If the bleeding continues you may want to ring your gp to set your mind at rest, but the actual results will not be available at this point. Could it be that your period has started? x
