Question: I am day 13 of my cycle. I started BC 4 months ago. I had a pelvic mri in early November. Ultrasound and pelvic exam in early December. Last week I had a pap test and pelvic exam. The MRI, Ultrasound and Pap came back normal.

Here is my question. Why would i have abnormal vaginal bleeding. The blood is bright red. I also have low back pain and it feels like im having my period. Admittedly, my normal scheduled period was not XXXXXXX in that i didnt really bleed and only had dark but not heavy spotting for about 2 weeks.

One more thing, i gave myself a pelvic exam this morning. This seemed odd. Right at the opening, when i pushed back not forwards, i felt a hard knot. Once i released a stool the knot went away. Would i feel a stool from my vagina?

I am not sure what else I can do. Other than a camera test and biopsy, everything has been done.

What can this be? Should I be concerned and go back to doctor again. I'm 44 so it seems early for pre menopause but maybe not.

Well the response is definitely concerning. So you are saying it could still be cancer even if ultrasound on 12/10 was normal and pelvic MRI on 11/18 was normal? Pelvic exams have also been normal?

I called my doctor and they agree it is cause for concern but are leaning towards it being too low a dose of birth control.

My question: if another ultrasound shows nothing abnormal should I still pursue further cancer testing (e.g. Biopsy).

Does light bleeding make it less concerning as I was told to watch for heavy bleeding?

Additional information. Ultrasound results from about one month ago (12/10).
My ultrasound results from a month ago showed no concerning tumors.

Endo: simple cyst @ 7 mm, The thickness was .50, Length 7.39, Height 3.49, and width 3.32

left ovary- no tumors/masses, length: 2.89, Height: 2.0, Width 2.52, Volume 7.62

right ovary - No tumors/masses, length 3.2, height 2.0, width 2.35 and volume 7.87

Since I had the symptoms last month too, I thought this may be helpful.
