dont know where to start i have got a copper coil and my periods have been getting heavyer for the last couple of months iv also had a few bleeds inbetween AF and i bleed 90% of the time after sex .
i had a smear a couple of years for same thing but i had to fight my doctor to give me one as i was to young i was 24.
i have got more problems this time i have period like pains most of the time and i have alot of discharge and after sex last week it was like a blood bomb had gone off you would of thought someone was killed my dp is worried as he knows thats not normal .
but i cant seem to be able to get a docs appointment .

has anyone had the same problems and what was it ?

I would ring the doctor and get them to refer you to a gynaecologist, don't take no for an answer. I think doctor's have appointments bookable up to six weeks in advance these days (I might be wrong though, I'm one of the lucky ones with a really good GP practice).

my gps say ring at 8 on the morning but by the time you get through its 9 and they dont have appointments left and tell you to ring in the morning Angry

What if you go there at 8, do they open the doors first? Or how about an appointment to see a nurse instead?

I had this with my surgery for months when I wanted to book for a smear. In the end, I had a temper tantrum at the desk! I stated in graphic detail, quite loudly, what i needed. Childish but effective. My doctor overheard and insisted that I be given an appointment. I'd be doing the same if I was you! This is your health in jeopardy here, don't take no for an answer.

That's terrible OP. Can you have a call back/telephone appt from the Dr? At least then you can get the Dr to say you need to come in (as I am positive the Dr will say). Or can you book an appt for next week? There should be some bookable appointments available and not just the emergency on-the-day appts that you haven't been getting. Hope you are successful as I agree I think you really need to see someone.
