I had some swabs taken by the GP last week because I've been experiencing some abnormal vaginal bleeding. The doctor also referred me for a pelvic scan which was fine and ruled out anything sinister.
I've just had a letter from the GP saying that they've had results back and asking me to make a routine appointment with the nurse to have them repeated. I'm not even sure what they were swabbing for, but assume it was infections. I'm pretty confident that neither DH or I have an STI.
Any idea why they'd be asking for me to have the swabs repeated? I know I shouldn't rely on internet advice but I can't ring the surgery until after the bank holiday weekend. I know it's going to be praying on my mind until then and will ruin my weekend :(
Does anybody have any experience of this or any advice?
