Hi everyone,
Ever since my husband and I started trying for kids, I feel like I haven't stopped bleeding or spotting. I used to have perfect 4 week cycles as we used to use condoms, but since ttc my cycles have become longer due to the spotting/bleeding. We have spent about a year and a half going through the gynaecologist trying to find out whats wrong. I've had a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy and they seem to be ok, although some time red dot patches were found in the neck of my womb during the hysteroscopy. I have had every blood test under the sun and so has my husband and they are all ok. I've had scan and smears and they are ok.
It has taken 2 years to finally realise what is the cause of the problem and that's because we haven't had sex on 2 of the months we've been ttc. During those 2 months, my cycles return to 4 weeks and there is no bleeding until my period begins!! I obviously have a problem with my husbands sperm! I have looked up sperm allergies, but I don't get the pain and bad itching that is described. Also, the bleeding isn't immediately after or during sex, it comes on about 2 or 3 days later, but you can always guarantee it will. I also find that the bleeding will always stop for ovulation, but if we have sex around ovulation, I will then start bleeding at 3dpo and won't stop till my main period, it just goes from spotting to light period as my lateal phase goes on.
I am waiting now to get my referral to fertility, but I am desperately trying to find someone in my situation or someone who knows what this could be.
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks
