Worried - but I have a doctors appointment

So I am a 30 year old mum of three. I take the contraceptive pill continuously so rarely have a period - I release a flow probably 2-3 times a year. 
 

last month I had bleeding between periods I dismissed it to being a problem with my hormones and the pill. this last week I have had spotting again. Along with spotting a pain in the left side of my back which is quite persistent and also pain in my tummy but not as bad as my back. 
 

for a few months I have bad tiredness too find it hard not to have a nap in the day. I had put it down to depression.

feeling really nervous and just needed someone to vent to as I don't want to worry my family how I'm really feeling.

  • Hi Nikki121,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read about your worries at the moment, I can imagine this probably feels unsettling and concerning.

    Hopefully you have someone close to you who you can speak to about your feelings - but, either way, you've come to the right place here. Do use this forum as much as you'd like to vent, write down worries, questions, etc. - it's a very understanding community of people here.

    It's good to hear you have a doctors appointment coming up - I hope it's not too much longer to wait and I hope you can find out more soon.

    It's natural to feel nervous but just make sure you note down any symptoms and discuss everything you want to with your doctor.

    Wishing you all the best,
