Hi, I have been having lower abdomen pain for quite a few months, and stupidly didnt go to the drs to get it checked out. In around April i had a normal period stopped for 3 days and then had another period. Then it righted itself to every 4 weeks again. Last month i had 2 periods in 1 month. I also have a copper iud in which has been in for 9 years, it is a 10 year one. I plucked up the courage to go to the drs, and she done a swab test, i am awaiting the results. I am absoloutly petrified i have cervical cancer. I havenot had a smear test for around 4 years but have now got one booked for next week. I also have it running through my mind that because i have left it it has probably spread. I feel ok in myself, just the abdominal pain which i thought was trapped wind and the irregular bleeding. On the plus side i do not bleed after sex but have had a few times during sex where it has hurt which i presumed was maybe he had hit the coil. The dr said she could not see the coil but when i had a coil check before they said the strings have curled up so i wouldnt feel them anyway. The dr didnt seem to be very interested about the coil and when i asked about cervical cancer she said she could not rule it out. Has anyone else had these symptoms, i would really appreciate any advice.
