Suffer Irregular Periods. Had Intermenstral Bleeding. Blood Looks Brown And Clotty. Having Pain. What To Do?

I'm very worried. In the last 6 months I have had 5 irregular periods where I have with had heavy bleeding or very little bleeding. I have also had intermenstral bleeding 5 times where the blood is brown and clotty. Just about 3 weeks ago I started having this sharp pain like a stabbing pain in the very low part of my abdonen which has now changed to a throbbing pain. My doctor has scheduled an appointment in two weeks but in the meantime I am so nervous. I'm so tired all the time and with my fifth intermenstral bleeding that is dark brown and this throbbing pain in my left ovary, I'm not sure what to think or feel.

Hi...
Thanks for the query...
There can be irregular bleeding because of hormonal imbalances..
Or there could be an organic cause like fibroid...
An ultrasound can rule out any organic cause..
If the diagnosis of hormonal imbalance is made you can start with treatment..
Inter menstrual bleeding sometimes can be because of ovulation but it will be just spotting...
Always better to get a proper evaluation done...
Hope I answered your query..Take care...
