hi apologies if this is the wrong place to post I’m new here.
i haven’t been diagnosed but am going out of my mind with worry. I went to the dr a couple months ago because my periods had been getting longer since my son was born in July 2016. They now last about 10 days, the frost and last 3-4 days are really light just when I wipe and then 2 heavy painful days in the middle. While there I realised I’d had spotting a handful times in the last 6 months. A couple of times after sex, I can’t remember exact details as I didn’t think much of it at the time. I didn’t mention it at the time as it’s only just occurred to me that I have a lot of cervical mucous all the time. I always feel a bit wet, I do pee a lot but always have done but when I leave the toilet i feel like I leak after and when I wipe it’s like the mucous you get when ovulating. I have back pains but have done since my back went in January plus I carry a 1yr old and 3yr old around a lot.
I spotted yesterday literallt a spot of red blood but also had awful back pain like someone had a fist twisting in my lower back and had an acne breakout and it’s mid cycle so I’m trying to be rational and say it’s ovualtion.
i had an ovary scan and blood test in Oct and all was fine and clear and normal so the dr ruled out pcos but then she said the spotting worried her and she wanted to check it’s not cervical cancer and then tells me not to lose sleep!!!! She said it wouldn’t be an urgent referral as it’s not persistent spotting so I could be waiting ages. I rang to go private but it’s about £350 and I can’t afford that. My last clear smear was in august 2016. At least I think it was clean now I’m thinking what if I misread the letter.
I had been burying my head in it recently as my son just turned three i focused on that but now I’m so worried it’s cancer. and my periods have been longer since December last year. Which means it’s probably advanced by now and im scared I won’t get to see my little boys grow up
Can anyone offer any words of comfort please
