HUn.. you know its best to get this checked out.. bleeding does *not* mean cancer. With mine, I had the biopsy (which I cross my heart really wasn't too bad) and bled a little after, and had mild cramps (but that was probably pscyhosamatic (sp!)). After the biopsy came back with bad cells, I had a procedure called diathermy where they remove the top layer of skin around the cervix. I got a local aneasthetic for this so no pain (and believe me I'm a wuss), just a few weeks of very annoying bleeding.
I also had a D&C 8 years ago when I first got the bleeding problems, and another one after a miscarriage 3 years ago.
Remember, we're here to support you.
Us women have very strange bodies.. and so many things can cause strange bleeding.. hormone levels (including onset of menopause!! My mum bled terribly when she started menopause) are a big cause.
Just know I'm thinking of you today hun.
