Spotting, Bleeding & Cramping What are the possible causes of bleeding or spotting? ANYTIME • Cervical friability (i.e. cervix that bleeds easily for benign reasons – often after sex) • Irritation or trauma, especially if infection (i.e. chlamydia), or cervical cyst/polyp present • Haemorrhoids • Growth spurt (common around 12 weeks, again around 20 weeks – often with c
