extreme bloating

Anyone any isea what could be happening with me?

I have had irregular cycles since i had my daughter almost 2 years ago. As little blood as possible. Spotting and then sometimes if i go for a poo and squeeze a little (sorry TMI) a bigger amount will come out on wiping. I canget away without wearing any pads majority of the time.

Im currently CD 45 - no sight of any sort of brown spotting or anything.

So here is the other thing: i have become extremely bloated - to the point where I look about 6months pregnant. & when its at its worst i get back pain.

Got my bloods done this week. So just waiting on results of those but its really getting to me now.

Ps took about 7/8 asda pregnancy tests & they are all negative

Anyone with any or the seem experiences??

@MellowMelly no outcome as of yet. Doctor has referred me to gynae & an US. God knows when i'll get an appointment for either. Still all same symptoms and no AF. Tonnes of D/C like so so much.

@Berlinlover ive googled everything🫣🤣 guess i just need to wait to be examined

I had these exact symptoms in my early 40s. The bloating would happen around the time of ovulation, about 6lb on the scale and very large lower tummy. I would also get hot flushes.

I thought I was peri but it turned out not to be at that time. It turned out to be due to a hormone imbalance during ovulation - my oestrogen would crash and not being replaced by progesterone fast enough in the luteal phase. Could've been a result of my age, I don't know. My suggestion would be to be patient and wait on the results of bloods, get yourself referred to an endocrinologist if you can, and in the meantime, loose, comfy dresses are your best bet!

@potniatheron I got my bloods done a month ago. My thyroid is borderline low - its to be done next month again. But the rest are all fine :( I am so bloated/fat its unreal. Very annoying & making me not want to go places because nothing fits or I just don't want people to see me. This all changed since having my little girl 2 years ago
