Posted in women's health but it's a bit quiet there and totally fed up!
So I'm 46, periods between 28 and 35 days for a few years, more recently up to 40 days. February cycle 28 days then nothing for 42 then spotting followed by two weeks of light bleeding. Then all hell broke loose and had a week of heavy bleeding. At the end of which I saw my gp. She wants bloods, ultrasound and pelvic exam ( deep joy) so waiting on a load of appointments. She also gave me trans whatsit acid. Took the dose for two days, stopped bleeding. So I stopped it after Sundays full dose. I had one dose last night as a small spot, nothing thereafter so didn't take today. Now I'm fecking bleeding again. So I've taken another dose. What am I supposed to do? Keep taking it? Feels like that's very much treating the symptom not the cause which I firmly believe to be hormonal. I really don't think I've got cancer, possibly got fibroids, who knows, but I don't see why that should suddenly cause a massive problem and a month long period.
She was originally going to prescribe progesterone but the computer was uncooperative. Shall I demand she sorts that? I'm so sick of bleeding. And of course we won't be able to get on with the other invasive and unpleasant stuff whilst I'm bleeding. Just want it sorted. Bloody uterus. It's totally redundant, I've let it alone for 16 years and now it does this!
