Period's 3 weeks late, bleeding next day after pap smear.?

Question

My period is 3 weeks late, I took a few home pregnancy test and it came out to be negative, so I went to the my local health clinic for a pregnancy test 3days ago. They give me an urine test. They have their own lab next door to the room I was in. I over heard them talking to each other saying they see something on my test but are not sure. So after awhile they came back and tell me it's negative, so I told them I wanted a blood test, but they told me "NO" and said that I do not need it. And said it will only come back negative anyway.  After telling them I really wanted no matter what, they finally give me a blood test and told me to come back in 2 days for result. Yesterday I came back for result, the nurse was taking my temp and every else. She ask me when was my late period, I told her and ask if my report was ready, she was like OH! you are here for your pregnancy report, oh so wait here for the doctor. When the doc came in, she said I'm not pregnant, but she doesn't have my file on her hand, so I never seen my own report. Only know by them telling me the result of yes and no, nothing else. But my old doctor always give me the paper for my result and explain it to me.  Then she want to give me a pap /pelvic exam to see what's wrong. I through it's fine as long as they found out what's wrong. I mention to her that my period was never late before and I have been urining alot lately and I suddenly have lots of ance on my face. She doesn't seem to care and didn't really response to me much. During the exam, she said there's a little blood inside your vaginal area, so I told her I have light spotting on and off, but you can only see it when you wipe with tissue. Then she make comment on my weight, she said there being overweight like me can cause miss period. I don't see what that go to do with it. Then, she send me to the lab for more testing and told me to come back in 2 weeks for result. At the lab, the nurse didn't know what to do with me, so she have to go check on the computer, then she make me do the urine test again and draw 2 more tube of blood from me. The whole clinic does not seem to know what they are doing. Anyway, This morning when I woke up, everything was fine until 2 hours later when I pee, there's lots of blood, but stopped after peeing. Then it has been on and off the whole day not really bleeding heavy, but I know it's not my period, cause my period doesn't look like that. The blood were bright red with tiny clots. What do you think, should I worry like crazy now?

Even before the pregnancy test, I'm thought I was pregnant cause I have some symptoms like spotting 2 weeks before my period, feel like throwing up, but didn't, just felt like it even now. And peeing alot and had lots of ance all of a sudden.

Even now in the back of my mind, I'm still thinking maybe the result was wrong, maybe I really am pregnant. But she's the doc and I'm not, so maybe I'm thinking too much.

Okay first off unless you are majorly obese it's highly unlikely that would cause  your periods to skip around. I'm overweight and I've only missed one period ever and it was due to being pregnant and then losing the baby very early on. It does sound like this clinic is a bit overworked and rather insensitive. You are within your rights to demand to look over your medical file. You can't generally remove it but you are legally allowed to look over it. Also you are within your rights to demand to know what they are looking for with the blood tests. It does sound like something is going on. Urine tests for pregnancy don't show how far along it's a yes or no answer with those. The blood tests may be that you had a very small HcG (pregnancy hormone) in the first blood test but it was such a small amount that they wanted to test again to see if they are going up or down. Up is a pregnancy that is continuing. Sadly if the count is going down it means you were pregnant but the baby died.
The bleeding following your papsmear is unusual. Getting a pap smear during pregnancy can lead to a bit of spotting since the cervix is rather sensitive during pregnancy but it sounds like you're having full out blood flow instead of a bit of spotting.
Personally I would take care of yourself and eat/behave as if you are pregnant. This way if you are pregnant you will know that you havent' endangered the baby's health. Good luck. I hope you find a better doctor, I would probably smack that idiot if I was treated like that!

Pap Smear On Period

You are not pregnant.  Bright red blood with clots is pretty typical in a normal period in adulthood.  Dark red blood sometimes occurs when a woman is pregnant.
Trust your Dr.'s results and Yes, you are overthinking things.
If you do not want to be a mother now, be wise, and use some good birth control....and or abstain for sexual intercourse for a while, at least until you are married and ready.

Hi..  Sometimes urine tests can be false negative (pretty rare).  But blood tests are for sure 100%.   You might have something up with your ovaries.  You should make another appt and let your dr know about the bleeding, that isnt like your period.

Woman to woman...I would first find yourself a doctor's office who will treat you with respect and dignity.  There is no excuse for you to be treated with such rudeness.  Explain the entire situation to the new doc and demand a blood test.  At this point I would not trust anything your currently treating physician is telling you.  They sound extremely unorganized...best of luck to you!!!

I suggest you go see another doctor but DON'T tell them that you were examined by another doctor to see if the 1st doctor you saw was right or trying to get rid off you. Hey just give it a try.
