Note: I had a smear test back in 2019 which was clear.
It's been a long 6 months. It all started with constant urine infections, agony during periods and cramping mid way through my cycle. I was experiencing strange discharge too with brown stringy specs inbetween my periods. My doctors didn't care in the slightest. I kept reporting these issues and it wasn't until I had other physical issues elsewhere that I was allowed to see a doctor face to face. They gave me antibiotics which seemed to clear everything up.
Then I started experiencing spotting after sex. I went for an ultrasound which came up clear. Went back to the GP who did a pelvic exam which showed I had a lot of thrush due to the previous antibiotics... fun!
I've been referred to Gynaecology weeks ago...heard nothing back. The referral phone lines cut off, their voicemail is 'full' and people online are saying they have waited 18 WEEKS to be seen to or hear anything back. Meanwhile, the blood after sex is getting more and more. I am experiencing a lot of discomfort in my lower abdomen which is meaning i am living off of pain killers. I mentally am struggling every day. Getting out of bed is so so difficult, and honestly, it's taking all my strength to carry on. Every time my husband hints at sex, I just want to disappear. Seeing the blood every time is too much. Also feeling the urge to pee more too. Hearing the doctor say 'it's likely you're fine' does not help in the slightest after reading everybody elses experiences on here!
Sorry to be such a negative, but I feel like nobody is listening to me or taking it seriously :neutral:
