So I went to the doctor today and had two ultrasounds done (one abdominal and one vaginal). I was fine before I went in but on my way home I started cramping and when I got home I went to the restroom and when I wiped there was what looked to be blood but it was like a faded maroon color (hard to explain), but it was only when i wiped. I have heard that this is normal when you are pregnant but I have yet to get a BFP with a HPT or Blood Test so I'm guessing thats not the case. So is this still normal even though I am not pregnant? Oh and my last period was on February 21, 2009 and it is now April 9, 2009. I'M STILL LATE!!
Hi,

The maroon color you saw was what the docs call old blood. It's blood that has been there a while and according to mine was nothing to worry about. I had a vaginal ultrasound done and it made me cramp some and bleed a bit afterwards. I would say call your doc to make sure it's all normal and for peace of mind.
This happened with my vaginal ultrasound while preggers, but I don't have experience with it otherwise. However, I suggest you put a call into your OB if you are concerned and ask her/him the question. It's hard to say what's 'normal' for your body.
As for the period that could be for a number of reasons...stress, workout, diet change or sickness recently. Again, good questions for a professional.
Hi S.-
I've had Transvaginal Ultrasound done both while I was pregnant and not pregnant, and always cramp and bleed a tad afterwards. I don't know why you're period is late though. I'm not regular so I feel like I'm always late!!
It is normal after a vaginal ultrasound, though it shouldn't persist.
