Hi im 35 and i have a phone gp appointment on the 9th but i just want to see if anyone has an idea. Im trying not to think of the worst so:

Bruising on my legs, sometimes from bumps and knocks though they are quick to appear and sometimes just from my kids/dog sitting on me awkwardly, some bruises i have no idea where theyve came from. Ive been tired (3 kids, working PT so not surprising). My period is currently 17 days long going from regular-heavy-light-heavy-regular flow sporadically, last month it was 15 days. People have commented that i look like ive lost weight though ive started cycling to work 12 mins max each way and im doing dry january. My appetite has decreased, no hunger for breakfast, ill have lunch at work but not hungry for dinner. Night sweats in the past but not recently that i can think of.

Ive noticed ive got more very small bright red spots on my body (i think cherry spots) they vary in size.

Am i worrying for nothing? Am i taking these things and thinking its potentially something bigger?

The bruising and bleeding is my main concern.

Tbh @tinatsarina I wouldn't be waiting another week to chat with your GP, can't they offer you something earlier?

If you have a walk-in centre/pharmacist nearby or ultimately call 111, they could re-assure 🌸

Thanks for replying, i did tell the receptionist that i need to book a smear but cant cuz my period has just been ongoing dec it started on the 2nd and stopped the 23rd and then started again 13th jan. Its more that my partner has noticed and was concerened so i phoned. Otherwise id probably would have left it longer.

Just a quick update, dr called me today and wants me in on Thursday to take bloods just to see if its anything worth worrying about. It could be that my symptoms are all non related but he'd rather check bloods just incase
