    Excessive bleeding (to me....)

    Hello all! New to WH - nice 2 meet you all! Long story short.

    -I have a normal cycle of 28-30 days (clock work).
    -Last AF was 2/26/13 (lasted 6 days)
    -30 days later I had light spotting (3/27/13) that lasted only 1 day. Two days later (3/30/13, CD 33) I have been light spotting (mostly brown and very faint light pink) for 2 weeks (until 4/14/13)
    -Since 4/22/13 been having heavy fuller/tender breast 5/11/13 (still on going). I also started spotting again - all colors now: brown, dk brown, light pink, light red) and the flow has been like a light/moderate flow (3 tampons a day) but some would be lighter than others (& no sign of letting up either). (Sorry if TMI)
    -I am married and sexually active. Dr appt 5/15/13 scheduled.
    -Took dollar tree pregnancy test and they have been negative
    -Also gained 5lbs, but would 5 lbs really alter my cycle this bad? (No stress, my life has been consistent and no BC either - straight normal girl).

    All in all...I need to know what could this be... (2 AFs in one month and/or bleeding between periods - whatever you wanna call it)...a whacky cycle, possible miscarriage, hormonal imbalance, etc. I will definitely update what happens at my Dr appt 5/15/13. Thanks much!

          Oh Ok , lol, I just say Aunt Flow .. lol

          It may depend on your age, our bodies change and Aunt Flow can Fluctuate as our system changes.
          Try not to stress, make sure to give your Dr. the same notes you did us here . It really helps for them to see it in writing, less chance they " tune you out ". I'm sure your Dr. will do some tests ... Let us know

          Good Luck & Welcome to WH.
