Thanks so much for the input. I’m planning on heading in for a private consultation next week. As of today, there isn't any blood to speak of, though I am seeing a lot of white discharge that looks more yellowish, and I find myself running to the restroom quite frequently. My main issues right now are lower back pain and occasional abdominal cramping—it feels almost like a dull ache that radiates down into my legs. I guess I'm just feeling pretty anxious about all of this...
I’ve been feeling pretty anxious for the last few days. I have never actually had a Pap smear done, and I’m starting to think it might be high time...
In the past, my cycle has always been pretty regular, usually landing every 28 to 29 days, though this last one showed up a couple of days early. I probably wouldn't be nearly as worried if I hadn't noticed these tiny traces of blood—just a few drops, really—out of nowhere last night (though it actually happened two days ago). I had shaved right before heading out (no cuts or anything), and then my boyfriend got a little carried away with touching me, which was actually quite painful. After that, I noticed the bleeding.
On another note, my right leg swelled up about a month ago (maybe it was just from those tight compression socks?), and I deal with frequent aches in my legs and lower back. I suppose I should wonder if there is any connection between those symptoms and the thing I'm too nervous to name, or if I'm just letting my anxiety run wild. Any advice would be appreciated.
