For a few weeks I've had backaches and minor tummy ache, with loads of gas and bloating. In the mornings I have to let out loads of farts sorry tmi but I also had one off very light bleeding mixed with discharge after having sex a few weeks ago which was around ovulation time. It hasn't happened since thank goodness but still got me worried as I never had this before. My GP said my smear test is noted and said it was checked for both hpv and abnormal cells due to the symptoms I have which came back clear. Last smear 3 years ago was also clear. She felt my pelvis and checked my vagina and cervix and said that it all looks fine but took swabs anyway. I am getting niggling aches down my groin and leg. I remember having these symptoms when I was pregnant. I had 2 bleeds as well and cyst on my ovary and it was a corpus luteum which was ever so painful! I honestly thought I was miscarrying when it burst.
The back pain was worse :( however I haven't had symptoms since, until now (was 4 years ago). Do you think it's worth paying privately for a well woman scan at a private clinic to check my reproductive organs or try and get gp to refer me? She said she doesn't see any need to as everything feels and looks healthy and my back and tummy aches are not related, but to see what the results of the swabs are first. I can't settle down at all.
