I had an improperly placed IUD removed one week after an irregular period. Since then, I have experienced light spotting, intermittent bleeding, and symptoms similar to pregnancy such as painfully tender breasts, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and persistent cramping and bloating. I have taken two home pregnancy tests, both of which were negative. What could be causing these symptoms if I'm not pregnant?

My entire mid-section from my navel to my vagina is feeling crampy, similar to period cramps, despite being menopausal for fifteen years. My vaginal area feels burning, and there is a sharp pain in my sides through the pelvic area occasionally. My vagina is always filled with discharge, and it has stretched, causing a lack of sex drive. I have been to various doctors, and all tests are negative. My husband suspects infidelity due to the constant discharge. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?
