Hello everyone,
I'm new here and I'm sorry for jumping straight in with my nonsense but I'm desperately afraid and need some help.
I'm a 26 year old woman. In november last year, I discovered I was 14 weeks pregnant but the pregnancy was not "viable" and they had to remove it surgically (identical to an abortion). 2 weeks after that I had the depo injection.
Since then I have been having very small amounts of bleeding, usually just brown spotting when I use a tissue (sorry if that is tmi) and a bit more sometimes after sex. The bleeding is usually once a day, sometimes a couple of times and now and then nothing at all.
Well last friday I went for a smear because I was terrified. The nurse was very nice and said that it could just be the depo. She also said that my cervix looks very healthy and can see nothing wrong with it - she even jokingly said it was beautiful.
But I can't stop panicking. I'm terrified that I have cancer, and that if it's causing this bleeding it's too advanced for them to cure it and that in 4 weeks when I get the letter with my results it will tell me those awful words.
I'm getting married in May and can't concentrate on any of the lovely things happening. I can't even think about the future because I'm so scared I'm not going to have one and that I'll never have that life with my fiance. I lay awake half the night and can't stop crying half the time.
Please, has anyone been in a similar situation before?
