I’m totally at the end of my tether, I’m depressed and exhausted due to ongoing women’s issues and my gp and sexual health clinic have been useless.
I have been bleeding almost continuously for 6 months, before that I had been spotting between periods, unable to have sex without bleeding and passing large clots when on my actual period. I have been back and forth to the go, given different contraceptive pills, different drugs to slow down bleeding and had been refused referral to gynaecologist. A few weeks ago I was advised to get a coil fitted and was told to call sexual health clinic to arrange fitting, I had to wait ages for a call back because you need to speak to a consultant first, they advised I went in for a STI check to rule out infection before getting the coil fitted, so a few weeks later I went in, had a full check up and was told that I had PID (pelvic inflammation disease) possibly caused by a STI and they gave me 3 lots of antibiotics whilst I waited for my test results, antibiotics made me really unwell and was unable to go outside in the sun. I was confused as to what they were telling me as I haven’t had sex for ages due to the issues I have been having. Anyway, my test results all came back clear, no sti, no infection. In the meantime I got my period and have been bleeding heavily non stop for 2 weeks, I am anaemic and feeling very depressed as I am unable to go about my normal life and obviously feeling very unwell.
I call the sexual health clinic back and ask for an appointment for the coil, they tell me I need another phone call from the consultant before booking me in, appointments are booked up so I have to call back Monday and will then get a call back anytime Monday (if I get an appointment). I work and can’t just wait all day for a phone call, I can’t take calls at work. So now I’m stuck, bleeding non stop, I can’t book time off work as Monday is my first day back after covid.
I have totally had enough, I’m just sat here crying 😢
