This may be a long post so apologies in advance...
6 weeks ago I had what I thought was a very bad UTI. Prescribed antibiotics - in the end it took 3 courses to get rid of it. At around the same time I started feeling a very heavy feeling down below as well as bad back pain and pain radiating all down my legs etc. At an examination by doctor she thought this may be being caused by my mirena coil having fallen out of place. She didn't have the equipment to remove it so referred me to a gynaecological consultant to get it removed and also gave a transvaginal scan to check all ok internally.
Couple of weeks later I have the mirena removed by consultant and she also tells me I have a grade 1 uterine and grade 1 rectocele prolapse (which i suspected anyway as the feeling of heaviness and dragging down below was so bad). Says I need physio to try and make it better and not to lift anything heavy or do anything to make it worse. Devastated by this as I am someone that has run regularly and lifted weights for over ten years.
On to the current issue. Since the removal (two weeks ago) I have bled so heavily that its gone through my clothes and I've had to shower and at one point had to borrow clothes as mine were ruined. Passing huge clots and at points felt like would faint. I now feel like I can't leave my house, I feel weak, my arms and legs hurt, am having horrible stomach cramps and frankly I look absolutely terrible. I've been given tranexamic acid to try and stop it which seemed to be working (been taking for 3 days) but this morning back to heavy bleeding and clots again!? I've got 3 kids who I can't do anything with and a full time job I've had to go sick from. I'm worried this is never going to end!? I'm usually a very active outgoing person and I'm finding this debilitating and depressing. Supposed to go on holiday in a few weeks (a cruise) and i don't know how I'm going to be able to at this rate.
I'm on HRT - have been told I need to start ultrogestan again now the mirena is out but was waiting until the 14th or 15th day since the bleeding started. If I started it now would this stop the bleeding?? I'm going to ask for an emergency doc app today to ask this also. I'm just absolutely sick of this now and want my old life back!!! Felt generally awful for almost two months now...
I have an MRI next week to check for endometriosis but would that cause this? My periods have always been heavy but never experienced anything like this - not even post babies or when I had miscarriages in the past.
Has anyone been in this situation? Could do with a handhold while I sit at home with no life :(
