Hello everyone,
First time poster here and just looking for some support really! I have had dull pelvic pain and cramps ongoing for over a year. At my last smear 18 months ago it said I had abnormal cells but no HPV so nothing to worry about. That was fine, and I carried on as normal. The pelvic cramps always get worse around ovulation and I always have a feeling of fullness in my pelvis, like when I was pregnant!
Fast forward to 4 weeks ago, the pain is continuous and can no longer ignore it. Its in my lower back now which is really uncomfortable. I have a lot of bloating but have always put it down to IBS. Not sure it is that now. Had intercourse 4 weeks ago and bled after. I've had sporadic spotting previously too. And again, since then I've had bleeding in my discharge. I'm exhausted, totally exhausted.
Saw the doctor, she was lovely, did all the swabs to rule out thrush, STDs and an internal examination. She had to stop that as it was very uncomfortable. I've had two abdominal examinations, and my stomach is very painful to touch and press.
They referred me 4 weeks ago for an urgent internal ultrasound. But due to coivd, I think the usual 2 week wait is now more like 4-6.
My pelvic and back pain is worsening by the day and I'm just waiting and waiting. Worried that something sinister is progressing and I can do nothing about it. There's a history of female cancers in my family, maternal grandmother died of breast cancer, one aunt has had breast cancer, other aunt just died of ovarian cancer...so I'm worried.
