I have visited 2 OB/GYN now. I have had pelvic exam, ultrasound of inner organs including pelvic using the wand, CT scan, MRI, blood test, urine test. All the results show all my organs are in top shape, fully functioning, no bleeding detected anywhere, no cancer cells located, clean arteries, no blocking or plac buildup. It is quite a mystery to me and the doctors. Because they cannot figure out where the blood is coming from, I have to wear tampons and take pictures of them (I know, gross right!) when I take them out to see where the blood is concentrated. Apparently I am a very healthy 51 year old with fully functioning organs but somehow having spotting 2 years after hysterectomy and no answers yet. All the post I see are people saying they are spotting and everyone says to see the doctor. I am looking for posts that say "that happened to me and this is what they found out..."

Thanks for your time. Stay safe.

And there are always several within a short period of time with a gap of time in between. It's weird.

So glad tests came up goid.

My one question would be, do you use Coumadin as a blood thinner. My Dad did for years and it eventually leads to internal bleeding. They never found out where he was bleeding from but it slowed down when they stopped the Coumadin.

JoAnn, someone taking Coumadin/Warfarin as an anticoagulant should have been checked regularly for PT/INR values, although I don't know when your father died and whether or not regular testing had been established at that time.

I'm not sure that Coumadin as a matter of course "eventually leads to internal bleeding."   It thins the blood, and can contribute to hematomas that are quite prominent.   

If your father was eating foods that enhanced the anticoagulation effect, that could have contributed to bleeding, but I don't understand why it wasn't caught during regular testing.

The only time we experienced internal bleeding was after an idiot doctor prescribed a med that contributed to it, apparently either w/o reading the med list I always provide or not paying any attention to it. 

I'm sorry that your father experienced this in the course of his treatment.

Marti, I am glad you updated us. What good news that everything is functioning. Be certain, especially since you have this unusual mystery circumstance, to get "well woman" exam yearly to keep up on things. Your doctor is your touchstone in this matter. I surely do wish you the same.
I think JoAnn makes a good point, as blood thinners are especially tough on the mucus membranes and the vaginal lining may be getting irritated, especially by the tampon use.
Wishing you the best. Thanks for the update. So few think to do it.

Marti, my apologies for thinking you were a troll. Unfortunately the forum has had some variation of your question a number of times, often asked in an odd way, and whoever posts it never returns. I’m glad you’re seeking medical care and hope you get relief soon
