Hi
It is important to maintain the dates of all next periods.
Please identify if you have taken emergency contraceptive pills
You must also notice if bleeding came after intercourse. Please get XXXXXXX examination and cervical assessment done.
You should also get a transvaginal ultrasound done to look at uterine cavity.
After stopping the medicine your periods should come in 2 to 7 days.
You make simple pain relief to control pain.
best wishes

I do not take any contraceptive pills my husband and I wanted a baby mela I the smear test a month ago and was normal

If you have been trying for over 6 months its time to XXXXXXX up your fertility specialist and do investigations to ensure things are fine.
There is significant decline in fertility after 35 yrs of age.
You may do FSH(follicle stimulating hormone),LH(leutinising hormone),AMH(antimullerian hormone),Prolactin and TSH(thyroid stimulating hormone)on day 3 of cycle fasting.
Please do a semen ex am with 3-5 days abstinence for your husband.
The above tests are indicated if you have never got pregnant or its more than a yr since the last pregnancy.
Best wishes

doctor is busy, so I can not see a doctor
I have an appointment at the doctor on January 22 that's a long time for me so I can explain what I have a problem

Hi XXXXXXX
As discussed earlier You need Transvaginal ultrasound of pelvis and investigations FSH LH Prolactin TSH and AMH.
Without a physical examination and an ultrasound its not possible to know whats causing pain.
Please do not worry. If the pain is bad see your GP or an emergency doctor till you can XXXXXXX your specialist.
Thanks
