Blood after workout ?

[SisterTales]

I started working out last week. It's been awhile since I've last exercised...a long while.

Problem is - I've started spotting after my workouts. Yesterday - after a BRUTAL leg workout - I did more than merely spot. I bled as though I was on my period. Which I wasn't.

I kind of freaked out and went to see my doctor today. However, as soon as she got my age (31), she kind of dismissed it - saying that irregular periods were common after 30. Particularly during a heavy workout.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? IS it normal?

It happens to my girlfriend sometimes after heavy deadlift or squat days
