well i haven't had any intercourse since my daughter was born in july of last yr and i'm not on any birth control's except i heard and IUD would help but last time when i was on the depo shot i was really depressed and didn't want to do anything or even take care of my daughter. i may end up doing the pill.
i have experienced today some clearish pink like coming out on to my light pad along with still bleeding which has increased just a little bit and i am planning to get physically checked hopefully either tomorrow if i call early enough or next week.

Hello,
From your symptoms, it can be due to metrorrhagia(heavy periods). Various factors causing it are endometriosis,ectopic pregnancy,hormone imbalance,endometrial hyperplasia,polyps,use of IUD’s and depo shots, sexually transmitted diseases,PCOS and benign and malignant pathologies of the uterus.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
