I have gone on holiday this morning and started heavy bleeding so can’t swim and scared of leaking !!! Just brilliant 😞
I’m signed up to have my hysterectomy just waiting on a date and I can’t bloody wait!!!!
Did it wreck anyone else’s holidays? Anyone else sick of all this all the time.

It wrecked my life and I didn't have the luxury of holidays during that time, as I, effectively, didn't stop bleeding for 4 years, so there was no way I could travel.
Having a Hysterectomy was life changing for me.
Good luck with yours when it comes around. 💚

Tranexamic acid helped me.

Are you in the UK? If so you can get Tranexamic acid at a Pharmacy without prescription I believe.
