I hope you don’t mind me jumping in on this conversation? I’m new to this platform.
So sorry to hear about your outcome but over the moon your in remission :)
Basically I’m after some information/advice.
Me and my oh was dtd a few weeks ago and when we were finished I passed a biggish clot it was firm almost felt like a stone. I do bleed in between my periods but had tests done 2yrs ago and everything was normal. I’ve had a baby and an ectopic since and it’s gone back to bleeding irregular.
Anyway tonight I went to the toilet for a number 2 and passed a big hard clot (painless) obviously I’m totally freaked!
Ever since the first clot I booked an app with gp he put it down to cervical ectropion which I’ve never had he told me it was from contraception but I haven’t been in contraception for 8yrs (little one is IVF baby) and never swabbed etc he referred me to gynae and she took some swabs but only to rule out infection. I haven’t had any results back but my smear is due and booked in for 9th March. I guess I just want answers I’m so scared. This isn’t normal for me.
Should I have had bloods done and a urine sample?
Thank you

Hey so sorry to hear about this!
Just to mention that smears only test for HPV now not cancer cells so a clear smear doesn't mean no cancer!
Blood clots were a big part of my diagnosis to be honest -
I would see what your smear says - however I would also try and ask for bloods and note down any other symptoms you may have.
If you bleed during your smear too check that - as when I had an interval ultrasound I bled loads.
Are there any smells too?
Xx
I don't know if you're on Instagram but there are some great people who have also gone through this offering advice - If you search cervical cancer journeys many come up xx
