Just a rant really and I'm so fed up with it. Im in my late 30s and feel I've never had any real support from my GP regarding my periods. Since having me 2nd child 3 years ago I've had so many issues but it's all been brushed off and I feel I'm just left to suffer and get on with it. I've had horrendously heavy periods during this time and been back and forth to the GP. I initially had the copper coil put in after DC2 and that worked for a while and tbh I felt so much better without the hormones until all of a sudden my mental health plummeted (not like me at all) to the point where I wanted to crawl back into bed every morning and dissappear. I went to the GP and she basically said she didn't know enough about it and make an appointment wurh the practice nurse. The PN then put me on levest pill with no break which I have been on for the past 9 months. The idea being to stop the heavy bleeds and bring my iron back up (it was slightly low but was never given iron tablets). So about 3 weeks ago my mental health plummeted again so I had to go back to the GP (PN not available) and she's basically said stop the pill immediately and book to get a mirena (?) Coil fitted. I have come off the pill and I feel both worse and better for my period. My bloating has gone down and my body feels better for it (can't describe it but think my body needed it) however I am bleeding soooo heavy, lots or clots and I am soooo drained and exhausted. My head is still in a bad place and I feel completely helpless. I get the GP can only tick off one thing at a time to try but I feel no support at all from them and I feel very wobbly while looking after 2 small children. My DH is very supportive but at the end of the day he works full time and i still have to get up and on with all the rest. I am just so angry at the general world for not putting any time, money or research power into women's health.
