at this point this is no longer a std related issue. I recommend posting in the women's health forums for more help with abnormal bleeding issues.
best of luck!

hello,
As you can see from my prior posrs i am having problems with irregular bleeding ever since my positive culture. I had my annual last month testing for chlam/gor came back negative and so did my hiv..i have also had a ultrasound to show that ther chlamydia didnt scar my tubes
my doc has now put me on what he said is the strongest pill that he had to use in a long time(nordette) and i am still having abnormal bleeding with having intercourse..
is there any info anyone can give me on this...
i have been back and forth with my doc about this for 2 yrs now and it still isnt resolved
I went to the dr and he said i have no need to worry and that it wasnt any kind of inflammation of my cervix or anything else...He wanted to up my dosage of birth control and see it that helps...
hope this works!!!!
I agree, and while we all know we have to be our own best advocates, sometimes that's an exhausting and frustrating job.
Feel better, and let us know.

ok Im schelduling an ov with him this wk..it seems like I have been there so many times already this year!!
I figured it couldnt be another std seeing that i had bleeding the first time after a tx of antibiotics and his was negative(he was sick last week and was given a tri pak...so that would have cured the std anyway). It is just really bothersome when it is downplayed and your know this is not natural for my body...
Oh it can be lots of things - hormones, bacterial vaginitis, etc. You need to follow up with your doctor.

hello..
I just recently had intercourse with my partner after completing my course of antibiotics and actually waited more than 7 days before having intercourse with my partner whose results came back negative also...after intercourse though I still had the bleeding afterwards. Is there anything else that this could be?

7 days from the first day, if all your antibiotics are gone by then.
Aj
My partner results came back negative.... So wait seven days from the first day I take the antibiotic and not 7 days after I finish the antibiotic?
If they are treating you as if you are positive, you should wait 7 days to have sex, and your partner should also treat.

I went back again for the second time this yr for chylamdia/GC testing and it showed up negative again but my doc went ahead and gave me dioxycycline 100mg bid for 7 days..Do i need to wait 7 days after I finish my last pill of dioxy.to have any sexual intercourse or 7 days from when i first begin the antibiotic?
No, I meant your bc pill could be causing this when I wrote my last post. You just need to follow up with your doctor about this.
Aj
Hi,
Are you saying that the antibiotic could have made my test negative but has not gotten rid of the bacteria?
Yes, your pill could be causing this, and you really need to follow up with your doctor about this. Be assertive with your health care - you are your own best advocate.

Hello,
I went for my annual and had them to restest for chylamdia just to make sure. My results came back negative..but I am still having some of the symptoms. Is there any thing else it could be? I double checked with my nurse and made sure about the results and she reassured me they were negative but i am still having some bleeding and abdominal pain
ok thank you very much!!!
Yes, but if you call your doctor and explain all this, he/she might decide to retreat you now.
Its really important that you all wait the full 7 days. Each time you get chlamydia, you can cause scarring in your fallopian tubes, and that can cause infertility and chronic pain.
Aj
yes..we both had a pos.culture for chylamdia...I took a gram of azithro. and waited a wk. before having sex again..this time he had not been treated yet...I began bleeding again during intercourse so I told him of my diagnosis and he was tested. I was given another dose of 1 gram azithro and he was given the same and that is where he took them seperately. I took mine together and waited three days bfore having intercourse again and the slight bleeding didnt occur until after intercourse several times later and went away right after.So I may still have the std but need to wait to be retested?
OK I'm trying really hard to figure this out.
So you both had a chlamydia diagnosis, and you had some bleeding. He took the meds, but took them wrong, and you had sex before a week was up. Now your bleeding is back, and you are wondering if you have it again? Or you did once, but its not anymore?
If I were you both, I would go get retested a month from when you took your meds, and make sure its gone. Then, if its not, take the meds correctly, and wait the full week.
If you test sooner than a month, you don't know if its a truly accurate test, as sometimes dead chlamydia DNA can cause a false positive.
AJ
Well no..because he has taken azithro. 1 gram but took them 12 hrs apart...we had sex less than a wk after they were taken..and i didnt have any abnormal bleeding the first couple times but about the 3rd time after I did.I had had two doses of the antibiotic already...could it still be in my system or is there another reason for the abnormal bleeding b/c there is not any pain during intercourse and the light bleeding is gone after sex?
Doxy wouldn't work on a UTI, probably.
If I knew why you were asking this, I could help more. Are you trying to not tell a partner you have chlamydia? Have you actually had a positive chlamydia test?
