Irregular, heavy menstuation cycle with abnormal PAP

So, I have a history of having some "issues". Well over 3 years ago I was seeing a Urologist for 7+ gross blood in the urine. I had multiple cystoscopies that all came back normal. I also had several ultrasounds that read,
1-"Crenulated left ovarian focus which likely represents an involuting corpus luteal cyst. Recommend repeat examination in 6 weeks to document  complete resolution. ", and 2-". Hyperechoic focus in the right ovary, possible corpus luteum versus  artifact. Followup ultrasound in 12 weeks is recommended to ensure  resolution.". Over the course of time and several moves, dispite still having symptoms, I didn't continue with the follow up ultrasounds as advised.

Several years later, I am still having symptoms, but more alarming. I am a 33 year old mother of two, with my youngest being 8. The symptoms I am having now are irregular menses, spotting between, clotting, very heavy flow off and on, lower left sided back pain, constipation, horrid cramping, abdominal bloating painful intercourse and a variety of discharge.

I made an appointment with my primary for a wellness exam. At that time the only symptoms were the painful intercourse, slightly irregular periods, and discharge. My results came back normal for the PAP, however it came back showing that I had HPV 16 genotype. My primary has now advised that I have a Colposcopy done, and that is due to be done in a little over a month, the soonest they could get me in.

Here today I sit in a lot of pain. I started my cycle about a week ago, and normally go no more than 5 days. Well, first off it started earlier than usual, went about 5 days, stopped and now I just started again and very heavily, there are many clots. Earlier in the week there was a day that I had just put a super plus tampon in and less than 15 minutes later, I went right through it. Sorry about the details, but it was all over my pants, showing from the outside, and again, lots of clots. I am also experiencing a great deal of gas that is constant. Along with that discomfort and bloating and very irregular bowel movements. I will feel for days that I need to go and each time it is hardly productive. I have horrible stabbing pains in my pelvis as well. I was just standing and could feel that I needed to go to the restroom and sure enough 3 days after I stopped I started again and it is very heavy and painful with clots.

I am normally an end of the month, 5 days, nothing out of the ordinary type of girl. So I can tell something is wrong. I am not sure if I can or should wait till the end of May for my appointment or not.

I am sorry for rambling, and I hope I make sense, I am just nervous and not feeling well at all.

Thank you very much.

I also forgot to mention that at the time of my wellness exam, the provider said everything looked ok except my cervix was inflamed. She then put in a referral for GYN.
