So where do I start!?
Okay so a few months ago I had irregular bleeding, in-between my periods. I was on the contraceptive implant but I had that removed at the end of March. I've only had one period up to now and it was 7 days long and I've had no bleeding in-between.. (good sign right?) Well (embarrassing moment) I was having a 'feel' and I began to bleed from my cervix, I think.. I didn't scratch myself at all and I wasn't rough... I am 26 and haven't yet had my smear. I booked my smear for March but had to cancel due to my period making an appearance.
I have now rebooked and the earliest app I could have was 24th May.. so I booked it anyway.
I contacted my GP yesterday and told her I was worried and its making me very anxious. She's got me in for an examination tomorrow just to see if she can see anything to put my mind at rest. Urine samples and swabs to rule everything out aswell .
I haven't had intecourse recently due to being off my implant so I wouldn't really know if I have pain after sex. But surely I'd I bleed just from having a feel around then I'd definitely bleed after intercourse? I have odd little pains in my groin every now and then and right now I have a little weird pain in my lower right abdomen, almost feels as if I've pulled a muscle. But apart from that I don't have any other symptoms...
Now I know its rare at my age and I also had the HPV vaccine when I was in school so surely that goes in my favour doesn't it??
But I cannot help but worry. I have anxiety as it is so I'm just making myself feel crap. Tomorrow cannot come quick enough but I don't want it to come at the same time. I'm so so worried. Fingers crossed for something other than the C word.
Just want some support maybe... or to hear people who've been through the same and have had outcomes other than cancer?
