After 15 months of going around in circles with a GP they have finally referred me to gynaecology. I feel like I've really suffered this year and I've been treated like a paranoid anxious mum who should just put up with heavy periods.
I'm always taking iron tablets and I will get my Iron back up and then I just bleed again and end up back down again. taking iron tablets for longer than a couple of months gives me so many digestive issues I feel rubbish anyway. I've tried discussing liquid iron with the doctor, who just encouraged me to stay on the ferrous sulfate tablets for another month.
I've tried a couple of different types of contraceptive pills in the last year. I've written on here before to say the combination pill made me so nauseous and gave me low mood and the mini pill made me bleed constantly and made me anemic again! They tried pushing the coil a few times. I've refused until I've had more thorougher checks. I have asked my gp about hormone imbalance caused through the mini pill. She said no as I took it for only a couple of months. But since then I've had new symptoms with every cycle.
I'm loosing 1-2lb a week the last two months.
I get nausea on random days. It's mild and I've learned to live with it.
I get stiff back muscles and headaches which lead to nausea for 24 hours after every period.
I get midcycle spotting and mild virus symptoms without fail (warm and yucky) around day 12-13
I'm spotting for roughly 6 days midcycle every month now.
Pelvis pressure
Left side ovary pains. Mostly mild. Like a heavy feeling. Seems to stab and hurt more on different days.
Excercise a few weeks ago caused a sharp pain in my ovary groin area. Half an hour later I felt blood and went to the loo. Fresh blood was coming out my vagina. I wasn't due on. The bleed was light and turned to brown discharge over the next 48 hours.
I have never felt right in my pelvis for 5 weeks. Always feel aware of the area. Sometimes feels I could move wrong and really irritate my ovary.
The last two days I feel mild pressure high up in my bum! Not sure why.
Energy is hit and miss. I get anxious in the 3rd week of my cycle. I've had four panic attacks since march on cycle day 18.
Tailbone pain for 8 months.
I sometimes notice yellow jelly on the tissue after a poo.
Little bit fed up of feeling rubbish.
I had a scan 8 months ago and one tiny fibroid was all they saw. They said it was so tiny and wouldn't cause trouble.
My smear was 3 weeks ago. Awaiting results. HPV test was negative though a year ago.
Nurse said cervix looked ok. Didn't mention a reason for bleeds. Just said it looked a little pink.
Dr said ovaries were clear in June on a blood test.
I'm literally out of ideas. If I don't have cysts, fibroids or cervical cancer. What could be causing me so much discomfort?
Gp refused to scan me and said gynocology would take ages and I'd need to travel. So I have no idea when I'll see someone.
So hoping someone can relate and tell me what else it could be.
I feel it's not painful enough for endometriosis. But I do wonder.
Tia!
