Coil, extra long periods, sickness and bloating?

6 replies

My periods went down to 2 days each month but the last one went on for three weeks. I've been sick or felt sick most mornings for quite a few weeks and my stomach has been bloating mostly in the afternoon/ evenings for a couple of weeks. I've had a coil for about 8 years (it's a ten year one).

Any ideas?

Have you done a pregnancy test?

littleballerina · 08/05/2014 19:51

No, I think I'm denial that it may be a good idea. My grown up head is saying that I should do one but my scared stupid head is saying that I have a coil, I'm having periods etc and I don't want to be pregnant so can't be.

I have the extra long periods - I seem to bleed most days of the month with a week off every so often - but no bloating. Though I am sick when I bleed a bit heavier, but that's normal for me..

I'd do as GP says - give it a fortnight and if nothing better, I'd go back and see what he suggests. I was given progesterone tablets to stop my bleeds so that might be a possibility.

Thanks, hopefully it'll be something like that.

It's not heavy bleeding, I kept thinking it had stopped but it hadn't. It's stopped now.

Not pregnant! I was brave and tested!
