Pink on the toilet paper - advice pls

skittleblu

so i just went pee like normal, and when i wiped the TP was pinkish brown.  what does this mean?

 

it wasn't mucousy, and there wasn't a lot.  it was just pale pink/brown kinda like you'd see at the very end of your period cycle.

It more than likely means you are dilating, but I'd still call the Dr just to let him or her know.

i called and spoke with the nurse.  i was just in around lunch time for my weekly check up.  nurse asked on the phone "did dr check your cervix" i said "yes, it was just a 1".  she said, well its perfectly  normal to have a pinkish/brown mucousy discharge after a cervical exam".  But then i said "its not mucousy".  So then she seemed confused, she said "is it watery?" and i said, "yeah, i guess so" and then she was wondering if it was my water breaking.  but i was thinking no, it couldn't be, cuz all i did was pee like normal, stop peeing like normal and wipe.  its not like fluid or blood keep on flowing or leaking.

It could just be irritation from your exam, but if it starts to pick up it could be the start of labor.

Ok, i just checked my pad 1.5 hours later and there was a brown spot the size of a quarter and thats it.  Does this help you identify what it is at all?  Do you think just irritation from the exam?

I think it's probably just irritation from your internal. However, if you start cramping or have low back pain, then I'd call again.

It's probably from the internal exam, and if your baby is not breech, there is no need to panic.  I would keep your doctor posted.  You might be having your baby soon!!

My guideline from the Dr was if I have bleeding like a period to come in. I've had spotting a few times especially after internals and I don't worry about it.

It probably was just the cervical exam, I bleed after every one and after sex. I wouldn't be concerned.
