question: I just had my period starting on the 31st of July and ending on the 6th of August... My doctor is starting me on the Creighton Method so I am off my birth control also. I started having abdominal pains and I feel a knot near my belly button. On top of that I am bleeding again ten days after my last period and this blood is gritty and very dark. Is any of this normal should I talk to my doctor?
