Dear PMSgirl,
Whoa! I have had these kinds of problems, too. I'm sorry to have to tell you that the Wellbutrin started spotting between periods for me, but even when I quit it and now take Effexor, the problems are still here. My pdoc refused to believew the Wellbutrin had anything to do with it. My gynecologist has me taking two birth control pills on the days that I expect the breakthrough bleeding or spotting. It was occuring mid cycle, but is starting sooner and sooner, and lasting longer and longer. It sure doesn't do much to help my already troubled(lack of desire and response) sex life. I also noticed some pain in the area of my right ovary last
month and this at midcycle.
I have had problems with spotting before this, that's why I was put on the pill in the first case, after ruling out uterine cancer. I also spot or bleed lightly when I am under severe sustained stress.
My gyno has assured me that I don't need to worry about getting pregnant, but this all scares me both for that and cancer. I have had noninvasive cancerous cells on my cervix before, and my mother died from uterine cancer. Sometimes I wonder if I am in perimenopause already. I am 41. My bleeding problems started when I was in my midthirties.
I have been forgetting/putting off calling my gyno for an appointment to discuss these and other concerns for about a week now. I swear I WILL call Monday!!! Good luck. Let's keep eachother informed. Renee N
