Hello. I'm getting an appointment booked asap. I've not had much luck with my periods since my child was born 2 years ago. I'm always anemic. My periods are every 24 days and last six days. 4 days of this is heavy. I often leak through several pairs of PJ's or jeans on day 3/4.
I always feel discomfort around ovulation. Usually my left ovary aches for a day or two.
Lately I've been getting sort of mild achy pressure in my womb area. Like I'm aware of it. It sometimes feels like it shoots through that area if I sit down to quick. My toddler sat on my tummy messing about the other night. It didn't hurt me as such but that area had a twinge of shock go through it if that makes sense.
Sometimes I'm getting tiny bits of pink or brown in my discharge in between periods. Especially when I ovulate too. I seem to get alot more discharge now too. It's healthy and not smelly. Just a high amount.
I was told I had a fibroid when I was having one of my kids. It wasn't in an area to affect the baby though.
I'm due a smear. I don't feel this is linked to my cervix though. I have private healthcare insurance and I'm thinking of asking the GP to refer me so I can have a full check. I feel I need a scan. In the past when I've ever been to the gp with issues in that area they won't entertain anything before you've had swabs for stis and smears. This is another reason I think it will be better to go private. It currently takes 6 weeks for a routine appointment as they are short staffed.
I'm in an 8 year relationship with two children. We use condoms and have not had unprotected sex for three years. We rarely have sex either due to a toddler hanging about in the bed. So no chance of it being anything grim!
