I went to my OB/GYN today because of spotting and cramping. I ended my period 11 days ago and have been on birth control (Loestrin) for several years. I rarely miss a pill, but missed one on Sunday. This normally doesn’t amount to anything when I’ve missed a pill in the past. They said it could be a ruptured cyst or early pregnancy. The bleeding has gotten a little heavier and darker since my visit. They did not do a blood test and scheduled a sonogram for me Friday. I’m concerned with the increase in blood I’m seeing. Do you think it’s worth an ER visit? I should mention I did some manual labor over the weekend (did some heavy lifting), this may not be relevant. I am sexually active with my partner. I don’t know if I’m pregnant. They did not test me. I did have a period that ended 11 days ago. I am on Lexapro and Trazodone. I exercise about 4-5 times a week. I had a ruptured cyst several years ago.
