Thread: Lost & Found... Map Gone AWOL!

Well, I went. Back in a fortnight for step two... then maybe referred on, depending what they find. Not looking forward to it, but glad I am doing something, however ukkky.

Thanks honeys.

Will keep fingers crossed for you. Don't suppose it could be related to the diet at all? My first TOTM after SS+ was awful, though I didn't have a TOTM on SS+ so it was almost expected, but still

Take care x

I had the contraceptive injection..... OMG it was a nightmare, they told me my periods might stop, they didn't they lasted nearly 8 weeks and the majority of the time they were so heavy I couldn't sleep at night, I had to run to the bathroom at least once every hour, I was drained, tired and so worn out, I went back after the 8 weeks and she said the answer was to have the next one early, it might sort itself out.... I said..er no thank you... now I just have really heavy ones, not excessively cannot sleep at night ones....

Me too it was nighmare, never again. At week 9 I went back on the pill and things sorted themselves out thank god.
Hopefully you are on the path to getting sorted

On a path of some sort, anyway.
Nobody has mentioned the jag. One option is mirena coil which can make things 'worse for 6 months' before they get better. Er, great. Not sure if they CAN be worse. Laura, this problem predated CD, had a few blissful missed totms on CD but now back with a vengance. Sigh. Will wait and see what they find/decide at the next app... sigh.

I was prescribed tranexamicacid (sp) for severely heavy bleeding and they worked a treat for me. The associated issues did reduce, but it dealt with the symptoms not the cause. But the bleeding did reduce over time. Also acupuncture has been brilliant for regulating my cycle and dealing with tired legs, pain and general wasted feeling.

Thanks Wales. I actually tried that about 18 months ago, didn't help for me. I've been told this will get worse unless I allow them to treat it, and I can't imagine it being any worse... I dread the tests & treatments, am almost phobic about all that. One motivation for losing weight was the hope that it would help... ah well.

Thanks Wales, MsJT, Greeneyes, Laura et al for your input, it does help to know other people have this stuff to deal with too.

The mirena coil was suggested to me too.... but I just didn't fancy any type of coil.... much too intrusive.... then I had 3 suspect smear tests in a row, luckily the last one came back clear but still have to have them every 6 months and the next one was due in December... really must get it booked, but absolutely hate it...... grrrrrrrr

really must get it booked, but absolutely hate it......

Go Greeneyes please and book it. I had to have pre cancerous cells removed and hated every moment (especially as the consulant wanted me to watch what he was doing on the monitor...yuck no thanks) but who knows what would have happened if I have left it.
P.S your photo is great you look like half the woman you was

I'd not realised you had bad gynae problems. My mum has 4 sisters and 3 of them at least suffer. Somehow, I think I'm going to be in line for it.

Just imagine us virtually squeezing your hand when you go back. x

Ps. When I was overweight, I actually ignored my smear test reminders as I was too embarassed about being overweight. Even though I didn't have any signs of probs, it was a stupid thing to do. It's no more pleasant now though

Hey katy, hope you are ok today. It is sooooooo quiet on here, perhaps the gentle rocking of the cart has us all snoozing, contented!

I'm here, just working like a maniac to send some work off... just done it, & now away to meet a friend in town. Check in properly later!

Thanks Dis & Lelly... don't like it when this wagon gets too quiet, I get tempted to sneak off... where did that rope go?
