What has your GP told you about your symptoms?
You are doing the right thing by getting it checked out. When was your last pap smear and what were the results?

You should have them every year after you are sexually active.
I am sure that if your GP suspected anything bad, she would have sent you off for testing immediately.

In the uk they don't let u have them until your 25. And then it's every 2 or 3 years I believe. I have an ultra sound today on my lower abdomin to see what the stomach cramps are but the brown stuff has only just started. I hope so because I am stressing out. X

Ok, I didn't realise that. here I think women have them earlier than that.
I am sure it will be fine. And of course if the worst happens, then early diagnosis is better.
But the scan will rule out anything sinister and then you will be OK. Not long to wait.

You can have a smear test at any age if your doctor thinks you should. I actually think your GP should have given you one - it's quick, it's simple and it can easily rule out anything
sinister.

Can you see another GP?
