Fibrosis On Uterus Lining, Have Mid-cycle Spotting After Intercourse, Delayed Periods With Sharp Abdominal Pain. Cause?
Hi, I had my cycle last month on june 5th, but after my period, I kept on having spotting especially after intercourse, which it was unusual. The spotting stops by mid June, and now I am 10 days late for my period. I thought maybe because of the spotting I had since I usually have 28-30 days cycle. Beside being late, last three days, I had very sharp pain lower abdomen after intercourse. Still no period and no pain yesterday. But today I felt light pain and later I had spotting. I had ectopic pragnency before and lost my left tube. I also have fibrosis on my uterus lining where my doctor thought it will make my having slimmer chance to getting pragnent. I don t know what is going on, can this cause by stress?

Dear Ruby,
First do a pregnancy test at home. If its negative then it means that this is not pregnancy or even ectopic pregnancy. Having an ectopic once increases the chances of repeat ectopic.
Fibroids can lead to spotting and irregular cycles with pain in abdomen. And yes they reduce the chances of pregnancy. So all your symptoms can be due to fibroids.
If you are unable to conceive and have been trying for a year then you will have to get the fibroids removed ( myomectomy), and in your case it could be done hysteroscopically.
I don't think that your mensus are delayed bacause of stress.
So do a pregnancy test and follow the results with your doctor.
