Worried

First, Hi, I'm Valerie. I have a 3 year old daughter who is the joy of my life. 

Now, I have no idea where to post this, and I haven't been on this site in several years, but I really need to talk to someone just to get it all out.

I have an appointment scheduled for tomorrow so I'm not looking for you ladies to diagnose me, no worries there I'm seeing a professional.

I've been spotting almost everyday for about 2 months now... I'm not on birth control but there's no chance I'm pregnant because my Husband and I have been separated for several months and we haven't had intercourse in even longer than that.I don't keep very good track of my cycles but I'm more than positive I've had a regular period since the last time we had sex.

So I looked up reasons why a women would have heavy spotting for such a long time and I can rule out a number of them. The chance of it being an STI scares me, but I have no pain or burning or anything associated with it, so it doesn't seem like that could be it...

My mind keeps going back to cervical cancer, I know I have no reason yet to think it's something so serious, and at 25 I'm rather young to be getting it, but it's not unheard of. Idk, in my head I'm freaking out about the worst case scenario because no matter how I think about this, it's not normal, there's something going on.

So yeah... I don't want to worry anybody irl with my concerns, at least not until I've seen my doctor, but I'm also driving myself mad sitting here worrying. I don't know what I expect to hear from anyone, but it's helpful to at least sit here and type out what's going on in my head right now.

So thanks for reading if you do.

it could be because of all the stress you have...sometimes that screws up your body so much...try not to worry...gl at the dr.

Thank you firegal, While yes things have been stressful as of late, it's not been too bad. I'll keep it in mind though.

Thank you Skye, I hope it's just a UTI, I've had a couple of those. I wouldn't be so concerned except this has been a constant thing for these last two months and at one point I thought it was my period again... but I'll mention it to my doctor tomorrow.

 Hi Joy, my last pap smear was in Sept. 2011... I didn't realize it had been that long, but it was normal, it's not been too long over due though so I will try and relax. I know I'm jumping to conclusions going there in the first place.

Thank you all. Like I said I have an appointment tomorrow morning, I'll be much better after I can talk it through with him

Just an update. 

So I saw my doctor, he thinks my hormones are unbalanced and I had my blood drawn to test my levels, but going back on birth control will fix it he said.

Just to be safe he's having me go in for an ultrasound to check and make sure there are no cysts. Of course he's going on vacation after today for 10 days, so he wont be able to call and discuss the results until then.
