Worried :(

I agree with the other ladies Lindsey, go see the doctor ASAP.... if you cant get in till the 25th of next month, go ahead and find a doctor that will see you THIS week.

HUGS!!

I can leave messages for my doctor & he will call me back. Would your doc do this? Call the nurse & tell them what's happening & have the doctor call you. Then at least they know & you know what's up.

Sounds like good advice to me. If you do get to talk to the doctor and he/she thinks it's anything he/she needs to see you for, they will work you in. Or at least that's how it works around here.

My goodness that is a long way away, is that with your general dr or a gyne?. Try not to worry I know it is easy to say but try to feel posative. xx

I like the idea of calling and talking to a nurse. Usually they can help you figure out if you need to come in right away or wait. You might not get to talk to the doctor but at least the nurse could probably get your appointment moved up if it sounds like something that needs checked right away.

It is just my regular doctor. He's in just a small office and there's just him and two receptionists there. This is actually a short wait compared to some doctors... This summer I tried going to a female doctor because I thought I'd feel more comfortable. I found one who was taking new patients, called for an appointment (in August) and found out the next available appointment was December 12th The shortage of doctors here is crazy. I passed out in a chemistry lab in the basement of a building on campus when I was 19. 911 was called, an ambulance came, I was taken to the emergency room, and I waited for FOUR HOURS in the waiting room before they put me on a bed in the hallway and I got to talk to a doctor for 5 minutes.
Anyways, I do feel completely better. The spotting just happened for one day and it was gone completely. I was still tired yesterday (the day after the spotting), but no cramps or anything. I was up late last night and didn't get much sleep, but I still had energy all day and I feel like I'm back to my normal self.
I am sure it had to be some mess-up with my pills last cycle. It was the same pack I was taking over my christmas holidays, where I slept in for two weeks... so they weren't exactly taken at the same time after I went back to work. Maybe that was enough to mess up my period?
I will definitely bring it up to my doctor when I see him, but unless it happens again before then I don't think I will be taking myself to emergency for it.

Lindsey, I am sorry I just read this thread. I am glad that you are feeling better, and it's a shame that you can't get to a dr. sooner. Feel better and I hope that it was nothing... All the ladies gave you great advice so heed them..

I'm so glad you're feeling better.
