Ovary pain & bad cramps.

Hi there.

From September last year till March I didn't bleed at all (I wasn't pregnant!) I was getting very bad cramping at times and the occasional light brown spotting. Since March I have been experiencing irregular bleeding, which can be heavy one day, very light the next, then back to the heavy bleeding. I've been in excruciating pain. I decided to call GP who carried out a smear, swabs, blood test and sent me for pelvic and transvaginal scan. Since then the pain has been even worse, making me fall to my knees at points, now I'm also experiencing such bad pain around my left ovary which shoots down my leg and radiates to my back. This also happens on the right side also.... I have my follow up appointment soon as my scan and blood results came back out of range...

I was just looking for advice... it's effecting my life being in this my pain and bleeding... Thank you x
