Me again. I went to the ob/gyn yesterday. She took a pap smear - will

let me know. She recommended an ultra sound. It sounds like that is

the standard procedure for this situation. She said my uterus was

very small and didn't expect to find any thing wrong there. She also

said that unexplained bleeding could result from stress.

 

I do feel always stressed and find it difficult to relax. I am going

to look into Yoga in my area. Some of you here have encouraged me in

that direction with your posts. Thanks you.

 

She didn't even suggest any hormonal reason for it. So...if the ultra

sound and pap comes back normal, I'll just have to wonder if it's

stress or hormones. At least I'll know it's not serious. I know

stress can be very serious, though - and I'm going to do something

about it.

 

Just thought I'd update y'all.
