16 day bleed

Hi, new here. I am an almost 38 year old mum of 3. Just looking to see if anyone’s been through similar. I have had heavy but regular periods all my period life. I have endometriosis but that seemed to settle a fair bit last year (still painful) and previously had a 1cm fibroid but the past year my period has turned irregular and can be a week early or a week/s late. But the past two have been longer last month it was 10 days bleed and I’m currently on day 16 of bleeding. I had bloods done but so far the haven’t all come back, waiting on a ultrasound but my GPs aren’t very good and even though I’ve requested help what to do now they don’t do anything. No medication nothing I’ve just been left. I am so drained from the constant bleeding day 4 to day 10 I was flooding pads every couple of hours and have been passing clots, pelvic pain etc . I just wanted to know if anyone’s ever been here really. I am so drained and fed up.

Before my hysterectomy I used to bleed constantly, every day, sometimes flooding sometimes heavy. It was awful. I was incredibly anaemic. My bleeding was caused by a large uterine fibroid. In the end I had to have a hysterectomy even though I didn't really want one. Push for investigations and take iron tablets with vitamin C. I didn't find that tranexamic acid helped, but it might help you
