Could the bleeding be something else?

It’s me… Again!

For those of you who haven’t seen my previous posts:

Smear done (1st one) in September

Diagnosed with HPV & Low Cell changes in October

Waiting on colposcopy in November

I’m bleeding still outside of my period and I’m utterly convinced it can’t be anything other than advanced cervical cancer even though I’m only 28. Can anyone help ease my mind? Could it be my implant? Random bleeding not related? A blockage?

I just can’t see it being anything other than advanced cervical cancer as it’s a main symptom and I’m really making myself ill thinking about it constantly. I’m not on the 2 week cancer pathway, my colposcopy is not for 4 weeks but it doesn’t help ease my mind at all, as I know cells can be regraded at the colposcopy and cancer can be found.

I just need someone to tell me it could be something else so I can cope for the next 3 weeks waiting on my appointment. It’s really tearing me apart mentally and I just can’t cope. 

  • I'm so sorry for the stress and worry this is causing Kapow.

    I hope this information the NHS have about bleeding between periods will help ease your mind but if you'd prefer to talk things through with one of our nurses, they're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040. They're very friendly, and insightful, and they will do all they can to support you during this anxious time.

    Hopefully some of our members who have contended with similar symptoms and had the same results from their cervical screenings will offer their support and advice to you soon but in the meantime, we're thinking of you Kapow and hope all goes well with your colposcopy at the end of the month.
