Bleeding between period... is this an emergency?

Since my period ended about 3 weeks ago, I've had a few days of break through bleeding. Last week, it was for about 3 days and it was light and the color was light. Then it stopped for 3 or 4 days. Then last night, after having sex, I started bleeding again, only this time it was heavier and hasn't stopped. It's not heavy now, just "spotting"

I am due for my period in a week, but this is not an early period- the color is different and I have had NO PMS (I ALWAYS have PMS)

Since it is Friday night, I cannot call my GYN until Monday... do I wait until Monday or go to the ER tonight? I'm open to other suggestions as well.

And how worried should I be? From what I've read it could be anything from an infection to endometriosis to cancer...

    If you are nervous, go to the ER. It can't hurt (except your wallet maybe.)

    Does your insurance have a nurse line you can call 24/7 to get advice? Most do. You can call and they will tell you they think you can wait or if you should go to the ER.

    From a male perspective... you may be pregnant... Don't laugh ladies... Everytime I've gotten someone pregnant this was the general M.O. The three times my ex-wife got pregnant this was the scenario... They all ended in miscarriages. Yeah... weird.
