Hey everyone,

This is going to be a little tmi- so be warned.

I’m on day 17 of my cycle and have been feeling really nauseous and unable to eat for at least a week, have had aches and pains and felt generally under the weather on and off for I’m not sure how long. Since last night I’ve been having lots of stomach/ovary pain that’s not like normal cramps more like a dull stabbing/aching and like a burning feeling. I also experienced a pain and discomfort during sex last night. Today the stomach pain and nausea has been worse and I’m feeling really tired and I’ve just gone to the toilet and found quite a lot of dark red discharge. This is not at all normal for me. I’ve googled and it says to be worried if you’ve also had an increase in frequent urination which I have, for at least 2 months, I figured it was stress and maybe I kept getting uti’s.

I’m getting quite worried because while I do have loads of health problems, these aren’t usual feelings and symptoms for me.

The only time I’ve had spotting like this is when I’m pregnant and I don’t see how I could be, before last night I don’t think my husband and I had had sex in months.

Is this something to worry about?

It takes ages to get a dr appointment so want to make sure I’m seen soon if I need to be.

Thanks!
