Hello Beebee27,

Welcome to Cancer Chat.

I can understand you may be concerned but please try not to worry. You've done the right thing in calling your GP and hopefully they can get the the bottom of things at your appointment this week. If you have any questions, it might help to write them down and take them with you. This page here has some really useful tips whether your waiting for an appointment or for results.

I hope this is useful,

I had my examination today, the nurse was lovely but unfortunately said I'm unable to have a smear test (due my next in December) as it would be rejected for being too early which isn't ideal. The nurse took swabs and noted my cervix bled alot when touched which is unusual, but noted my cervix is smooth and she doesn't see anything of concern. I get my swab results in 2-3. Very worried. I'm happy to privately for a smear test however I'm sure I read I can't have a smear test for 3 months after swabs as there won't be enough cells or something along those lines. Is that correct? Thank you

im having the exact same problems and I'm going to my gp for examination today! I'm 27, not on contraception, having all the same symptoms as you stated, stomach pains, bleeding after sex and inbetween periods and my smear isn't due till December. Iv been tested for STIs and all clear and always suffered with BV. 
 

i don't suppose you've received any news from your swabs? X

Hi,

Oh I'm sorry to hear you're suffering the same. I will say my symptoms have eased and no longer having pelvic pain as such but still experiencing discharge but again that is quite normal for me. Haven't had sex since as I was in such pain afterwards I was too scared to until after tests. The doctor said 2-3 days so I'm going to ring them tomorrow and hopefully results are back, I'll be sure to post back when they do!

Was much said at your appointment? Hope you're ok I know it can be worrying!

Thank you for replying!

glad to here your symptoms have eased! Dr took swabs and did a examination she said my cervix looks ok and she said it was bleeding though. She said we're going to wait for results of the swabs and if it shows nothing then we will talk about having Pap smear and I'm currently waiting on ultrasound. Not sure if this is because I have PCOS too. I hope you get some answers soon! 
this has been going on for me for 4 months spent more times spotting/bleeding than not!! Still having pain even tho bleeding has subsided! Hope your doing okay

Ah sounds really similar to me. I've had my blood results back which are all ok but still waiting on swab results. If all are normal I'm going to ask my doctor to send me for a smear or another test as I don't feel comfortable waiting until December. 

Hope you're ok! Seems were very similar at the moment x

Hi just replying to let you know that my swabs came back clear and they're waiting on ultrasound and smear now, I hope your okay. Have you received anymore answers? X

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply. So in August I had an appt with a gynaecologist who do a bimanual and speculum exam which were both normal. Said she would send me for an abdominal ultrasound and see me in 3 months time.

3 months here we are and my appointment has been cancelled and low and behold the bleeding after sex has returned. So worried now. 

My smear test is booked for this Wednesday and my GP has sent an expedite letter to my gynaecologist as he said I should have been offered a colposcopy. I'm really concerned now as this has been over 6 months. I should have pushed harder but you go with what the doctors say don't you.

Have you had any results?
