I have been on my period since March 14th. I went to the emergency room March 29th, they gave me a pelvic exam. I have an ovarian cyst on my left ovary for the past 8 years. My left ovary has been hurting off and on since March 17th. Anyway my cervix is raw and red and I have an infection. The Doctor said the birth control that I am on most likely caused the infection. I am still on my period and am freaking out I can't go to the health department to get a pap test until my period ends and I end the medications I am on. The first week when I was on my period it was not red it was kinda looked like liquid rust. the 2nd week it was dark red and had what looks like black coffee grounds. Now I am cramping and kinda light red and the discharge is red and stringy.. I am scared because my grandmother had ovarian cancer
