So after six months of periods that look like a crime scene I went to the doctors. They can vary between 25 and 35 days apart. I never dare go outside without a pad at all, I'm always spotting in between periods.
I had a US scan this morning, nothing unusual showed up. Just a couple of very small fibroids which have been there for at least six years.
In the last 70 days I've bled or spotted for 50 days, pain for 40 days. I have blood clots the size of a boiled egg for about three days each period and flooding three super tampons in a hour on the worst days (usually only two days per month, but it can also happen when I ovulate).
I'm 43, I've had two c sections, I definitely ovulate - I told the doctor today and even said which ovary was brewing. He said yes, your left ovary is just about to release an egg.
As the scan showed nothing abnormal I'm wondering what do I do next? I've had the usual first line meds (NSAID and meta acid?) from the GP but it's not helped. If anything it's made the flooding worse.
Should I push for a further referral or is this just par for the course with peri meno? Has anyone any ideas on what I should ask for? I'm having to take two days a month off work as I can not take the tube to work because of the flooding.
Also, don't mention my mood swings or I may just lose it 
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
