You will know a lot more in the morning after you talk to the urologist . He may not, however, have definite answers without doing additional tests and exams. However your symptoms are not the usual way that bladder cancer presents itself And there are many many reasons for blood in the urine besides cancer

Do let us know what the urologist says

not sure if I am in the right place as I haven't been diagnosed with anything yet, but my issue started after a bike ride last Thursday that I ended early (1 hour instead of 1 1/2 hours due to feeling fatigue)...a few hours later noticed for the first time a small spot of blood...nothing more, Friday was extremely busy, lots of walking and climbing around bleachers and was in extreme pain Friday around midnight (yes I was overdoing it). Saturday the blood started in the urine so I immediately went to the urgent care which did a urine test that yes, showed lots of blood, no bacteria (sent to culture and the 3 day culture shows no bacteria). I immediately went to er and they did a ct scan -- no kidney stones, a kidney cyst I already knew was there, and an ovarian cyst - bladder, normal. Sunday couldn't walk far and still had tinges but looked like it was going away...Monday, still just tinges so I thought, well, maybe excercise induced...Tuesday I visited my primary care and there was more red tinged bood than Monday the blood was more, and today, along with blood there were clots (around 7 one time, 5 another...). I have an appointment with a urologist in the morning! I had another appointment but they wanted me to wait a week and I thought, no way so I made this one this morning...does anyone have any thoughts? I am 62, and love to be active...Another thing, this morning when Iwoke up I also had a nose bleed and I felt as I could taste the blood...
