Have you had this?

This is definitely a TMI questions IM's. If you don't want to talk about our natural body cycles please do not read any further... (please note I will be speaking about this issue to my GP but he is on holidays).

OK so for the last few of my cycles, I the days leading up to the start of my cycle and when I have a bowel motion I have a small amount of bright red blood (no pain associated with it and it's ONLY when I have a bowel motion). Then when I havever my period it actually feels like I am getting period cramping in the rectal area (no blood from rectum other than having a bowel motion again).

I do not have any pain (apart from the cramping during my period) and no blood from the rectum at any other time during the month.

I should also mention that the blood I do get when I am having a bowel motion is only a small amount.

I am sorry that it's kind of gross but I don't have anywhere else I can turn to in an anonymous way.

I am not after medical advice, as I said I will be seeing my doctor when he gets back but I am just wondering if anyone else had had something similar.
