Hey everyone,I've had a really bad few months and my health anxiety is awful. Last September I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks. I've also been diagnosed with an extensive dvt blood clot, which I'm taking warfarin for and am still suffering from.
Since last July when I was lucky enough to get pregnant I've had a weird feeling of pressure just below my belly button to the right and lower down across the knicker line which comes and goes. Since the miscarriage my husband and I have only attempted to be intimate twice and both times we've barely done anything and it's been sore for days afterrds down below inside with a tiny bit of blood afterwards too. Also I've been slightly spotting between periods which had regulated after I lost my baby but now I've not had a period since January. I'm so sorry for going on, it's just I feel sick with worry that it's cervical cancer. I can't stop thinking about it. I've had an internal ultrasound last November after my miscarriage which I had a bad time with and all it showed was tiny fibroids. Also my last smear which was exactly 2 years ago was normal. It's just my mum had it and I'm scared the pregnancy triggered the cancer to grow quicker and it's spread throughout my tummy :weep:. Please please please can someone offer any advice? I've got a GP appointment but not till a week on Monday, just feel so desperately unhappy, please help...
Thank you

Its very very unlikely. even if you did have cell changes on your smear two years ago, which you didnt, it generally takes 10+ years without treatment to become cancerous and even then, not alll cervical cell changes turn into cancer. cervical cancer is 99% preventable. I had abnormal smears for two years. it went with no treatment. i wouldnt worry x

Thankyou so much for your reply, so so scared because 10 years ago I started bleeding between periods,I ended up having a colposcopy and an area showed white,I was refered to another consultant and he never did anything,all I remember is him saying the white patch had disappeared and was ok,and I was diagnosed with cervical erosion. Just can't get it out my head he was wrong and now the cancers spread :((. Or would I have been really ill by now? Please please can someone offer any advice? Can't stop crying :(
Thankyou
