Hi guys, hope you're all doing well.
I'm having cervical cancer worries because I've been having bleeding in between periods.
I'm not on birth control.
It all started in January. My boyfriend of 9 years and I decided to take a break for a week and a half and it put me under extreme stress and depression. My period was a week late (not surprised) and then when it came, it was very light. For a bout a month and 7 days I had a mixture of light and moderate bleeding. It stopped for two days in between but continued for a month a 7 days.
I went to my doctor and she did a transvaginal ultrasound (I did this while I was still bleeding) and that came back clear. I also did some blood work but that was taken after the bleeding had stopped in February and it also came back clear. It was an overall check up and to check my hormones.
After the bleeding lasted a month and 7 days it had totally stopped for about 3 weeks when my bf and I got back together and things were getting back to normal. But we ended up having problems once again and the bleeding came back almost instantly as soon as I reached that level of stress and depression that I had in January. So this second bleeding started March 7 and it's been going on every day, it's very light so I wear a liner.
My bf and I are still trying to work things out but What I've noticed is that the bleeding worsens when I'm stressed but when I'm not it's very light. I also start to get this pain in the lower centre of my stomach. But this stops when I'm not worried or stressed.
Now I don't know if it could just be stress or if it's something more serious. I just want to be able to wait until it stops again and see if it continues before going back to the doctors. I've never had a Pap smear done, I'm 23 years old. I'm so scared that there are cancer cells. Although my transvaginal ultrasound came back clear. Thinking about it is just making the lower stomach pain come :(
