At 4am I was woken up with excruciating abdominal cramps. They were like the worst period pain I have ever had in my life, and I had to lie on the floor and breathe through them. I also had a desperate need to pee, without really needing to. I fell asleep on the bathroom floor, eventually, after an hour or so. I had passed some clots. I am not on my period.
This also happened in March. They referred me to the cancer pathway for bladder cancer then, I had a cystoscopy and biopsy which were clear and was discharged. I had an internal examination due to very heavy bleeding, which the doctor recorded as being "a highly abnormal heavy flow", but recorded as a miscarriage.
I'm 30. I've never had period problems before this year, always light and short. I've had no kids. I'm on the pill. I'm not due on for another 2 weeks, and this doesn't feel like my period.
A doctor at my surgery can call me at 3:30pm, but the receptionist seemed baffled I was calling and asked what I wanted them to do. A paramedic friend has told me to go to A&E and push for a scan, but apart from some residual tenderness, I feel okay at the moment and I only bleed at night. Is that unreasonable? How do I get them to take this seriously?
