**update 4/10
I went in and the doctor was empathetic and said since we've tried medication it's time to move to surgical options. I can either have an endometrial ablation or hysterectomy. He said he recommends the ablation but first we need an ultrasound and endometrial biopsy to rule out cancerous or precancerous cells, if those are found then we move to hysterectomy. My appointment for the biopsy and ultrasound is 2 weeks from today. I've gained 30 pounds in 9 months from the shot, I told my husband after I get this mess taken care of we are both going on diets and we are going to excercise as well.
So hopefully there's amend in sight.
I'm pretty sure I know what the peas will say which is probably why I'm posting--a PVM.
Back story: in 2015, my Pap smear came back abnormal. Was having heavy uncontrollable periods. Went through a colposcopy and biopsy--came back ok. I had atypical glandular cells. That's all I know.
2016: another abnormal pap. Depo provera shot prescribed. Takes about a month and I was symptom free for a short few months.
In the last 4 months, my bleeding has returned, after sex and any old time really, clots that cause a lot of pain right up until I go to the bathroom. I have extreme pain in my lower back like someone is burning my uterus from the inside out. Cramping up front, sex is excruciating. Back pain shoots into my legs. I've been bleeding for weeks.
I went for my shot yesterday and the nurse asked about my cycles and if the shot was helping (new nurse for me) and I told her no, I feel worse than ever, can barely walk and I'm actually counting the days until my check up in July. She was concerned and said if I felt like I couldn't not wait to not hesitate to call.
My issue I'm afraid I'm just being a big baby. I was trying to explain it to my husband a few weeks ago and started yelling at me that if there was something seriously wrong with me they would have found it. So of course I feel like I am supposed to just suck it up. But likectoday? I've barely been able to get off the couch.
So what say the peas? Do I wait 4 months because it's probably just regular woman stuff or call now?
ETA: 3 csections and tubes were after last one in 2004.

Call now; what you are experiencing is not normal. Keep pushing until you get an answer. You have to be your own best advocate and don't let anyone tell you you are overreacting.

Don't wait! Would you tell someone that you love who is in this sort of pain to wait? Take care of yourself.

Schedule an appointment and see a doctor. There's no reason to be in that kind of pain.
After you've seen the doctor, leave your jackass of a husband. Just leave. I know I've said this before.

I'm pretty sure you already know the answer to your question.
I would take your nurse's concern over your husband's dismissal any day of the week and make an appointment with your doctor.
I'm resisting saying anything negative about your git of a husband, but it's hard to do that.
Take a look around some of the threads here and the urging to go with your instincts when it is YOUR body which doesn't feel right. If nothing else, you might be able to say to him 'I know you told me so, but AT LEAST now I know'!!

Thanks girls for giving the push in the right direction.

I'd tell DH to take a hike, when he feels the pain then come back and talk.

Oh heck no, that is not normal. Definitely get an appointment ASAP. Any time sex is very painful, something is wrong. I would wager that between all the peas, we could come up with over a hundred times that either our own doctors or those of friends and family have missed something that went unchecked at some point. I would keep pressing them and even get a second opinion if you can. There is something wrong to be having that degree of pain.
And to your husband - Way to be supportive there buddy. You're lucky she is willing to have sex with you at all. Shame on you.

I'm really glad you called your doctor! No one should have to feel as miserable as you've been feeling. Call back and ask if they can give you a call if there is a cancellation before 4/10. My doctor's office keeps a list and will call if something opens up.

Good on you!
If it was your daughter, what would you tell her? We ALL need to be good moms to ourselves!
Good luck on the non-female issues.
It's hard adulting.

Please make an appointment to see a GYN stat. I don’t want to scare you, but I had cervical cancer. The main symptoms are abnormal pap (you had 2 and they did nothing?!), bleeding after intercourse, painful intercourse. In my case I also had constant clear discharge that did not smell, but I had to wear a panty liner ALL THE TIME. I’m stumped as to why they are treating this with birth control.
If it turns out to be bad the bright spot is that cervical cancer is so very treatable in the early stages. I was stage 2b and have had no issues other than forced menopause. i was Dx Dec 2007.

My fibroid pain was similar with heavy bleeding and painful sex, perhaps you may look it up and see if it sounds like your experience at all. After treatment I have no issues at all and feel better than in years. None of your description is normal. You deserve to feel better and get the care you need.

Bet if you boycotted having sex he would be more sympathetic  But seriously, glad to see you got an appointment soon. Pain and bleeding like that is not normal and if your gyn doesn't have any answers (or ones that you feel okay about), I would seek a second opinion. |

I'm glad you went ahead and made the appointment.
I have been thinking about you lately, I know I was wondering if you made any decisions about your job? Have you gone back to driving the tool truck? Good luck with whichever way your career path takes you!

I'm glad you have an appointment, and between now and then be sure to take some time and write down every symptom, amount of pain, things that cause the pain, and any and all questions you have. It really helps to have all that stuff written down. I hope it's nothing serious, but it's important to be checked thoroughly.

As others have said, if you think something is wrong, something is wrong. Get to a doctor ASAP.
Can I add: I love the word asshattiness! Can't wait to use it!
Hope everything turns out ok!

Go to the Dr Your DH had a real asshat moment there don't listen to him. ^^^ THAT. Those symptoms are NOT normal... and besides being in pain and not able to function, who knows what could happen to your insides between now and July, if it's something serious (which hopefully it's not). Make an appointment now! |

Good luck with whichever way your career path takes you! Thanks for asking, how sweet! We ended hiring our brother in law to take over my truck. It's working out really well and my husband has really seen just how much I used to do at home, because nothing was getting done and we had/still have inventory EVERYWHERE. Our paperwork is a mess, rental houses sitting empty. So I work on all of that from home. Things are definitely getting better. |

That's not "normal regular woman stuff" and you don't have to suffer. Make the appointment.
ETA sorry, I missed where you said you had an appt. I'm glad, you should definitely not wait four months. You're bleeding heavily, have pain and cramps, and are fatigued. You're most likely anemic.
