Hello, I've Never Really Done One Of These Before..I'm Going

Hello,
I've never really done one of these before..I'm going to give a little background and then explain whats going on now.
Before birth control my periods were heavy and lasted about 4 days and I had bad cramps.
I started taking birth control when I graduated highschool, which was 6 years ago. I started on Orthocyclen. My periods became lighter to almost non-existent and only lasted 3 days. Then 2 years ago my gynecologist started me on Sprintec, said it was almost the same thing but my insurance wouldn't cover the Orthocyclen anymore.
A year ago, in March 2016, I stopped taking my birth control. From March until July I didn't have a period. Then in July I got my period, it was heavy at first but lightened up. However, it lasted 2 weeks. Then I didn't have a period until November 22nd. And it lasted a month but it was never alot, just spotting and some clotting. Some days I could of went without a period pad and others I would have some clotting.
My period finally stopped but every now and then I still bleed. Sometimes when I have to strain to stool, sometimes after sex, and recently I've had a cold and when I cough hard I bleed some.
I've taken 2 pregnancy tests and they say negative. I'm 24, married, and I've never had any children before. And never had any STDs or anything like that.
I haven't been to a gynecologist yet but I plan to. I guess I wanted to know if anyone had a guess to what it is. I'm scared....
