Ok, so I am going to go to the dr about this, but I'm posting anyway for some reassurance/ advice/whatever.

I have always had irregular periods and for at least a couple of years I've also had irregular bleeding between periods too, which can last a week or more, and sometimes is hard to distinguish between a real period or not (my periods can be very weird). And often the blood is black/ brown blood too (as in brown mucus) or mixed with red blood. idk why it happens. It's got me concerned because recently I had an odour I couldn't identify for about a week, with normal mucus, and then yesterday I got the mixture of brown mucus and red blood, and I thought that maybe my period had started, but it hasn't, and the smell is still there so it must be the blood I can smell but it is weird to smell it before there is even any evidence of it.

So... could this be from an ovarian cyst or something? Before anybody asks I am not pregnant, am a virgin. And what will happen at the drs? I'm in England.
