NC'd. Thanks in advance for reading.
I'm worried sick about my health.
For over a year, I have been dealing with bleeding in between periods. My main periods are heavy and seemingly regular. I have a copper coil and take tranexamic acid to reduce flow. I often have 1 or 2 extra bleeds during the month for varying periods of time.
I occasionally bleed after inter course.
I have had the coil in for 7years.
I saw the GP to discuss the extra bleeds and excessive pain etc, I have been referred for a scan, smear (overdue ) and a hysteroscopy among with coil removal.
I suffer with awful period pain for 3 weeks out of the month approx, pelvic pain, back pain and leg pain. My right knee has been extremely painful for the last week. My IBS flares during my period.
I'm so scared of what they may find and wondering if anyone else has been in the same situation and what the outcome has been? GP has mentioned endometriosis, STI (unlikely) or even Cancer.
Anyone else have any experience of this?
