infection???

I had, what I thought was a yeast infection. So I bought an over the counter medicine(off-brand) same ingredients as monostat. I used the 3 day inserts and cream. The infection seemed to clear up, but now I am bleeding what appears to be fresh blood, moderate, not real heavy, and some cramping. I would just chalk it up to starting my period, but I just had it 2 weeks ago, and like I previously stated, it looks like fresh blood. I don't have any health insurance and was hoping to take care of the situation from home. Now I am concerned, has anyone experienced this, or know anything about it? I greatly appreciate any and all advice.. Thank You

Are you taking any birth control pills?

I would agree that you would need to seek the advice of a doctor to ensure nothing is being missed here.

I would highly suggest seeing a doctor. Bleeding mid cycle, especially with a period like flow is not normal so you're best to get checked out since it might not have been the yeast infection - might be bacterial or something which needs antibiotics.
