Went to doctors as was feeling tired restless and sweating more than usual on cerazette pill and hadnt had bleed in 21/2 years then had spotting for 16 days! They have said I have anaemia and have had to get fob tests done. I am now really worried what could have caused this?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The FOB tests are to look for any evidence of blood in the stool. Loss of blood in the stool can cause anemia.
Because of the history of prolonged vaginal bleeding, your doctors may also want to assess the genital urinary tract to determine if there is are any abnormalities that would be contributing to the bleeding.
This may involve an ultrasound and papsmear (if no recent smear).
These tests may be able to determine the cause. It may not be due to a serious condition.
I hope this helps
