Sore breasts, brown discharge, emotional wreck

[Frog79]

I'm 39 years old and for the past 3 years on and off sometimes it's been ok for 6 months my breasts are sore for about 3 weeks out of every month. I had a colposcopy in September 2016 because my cervix was a funny shape but that all came back clear. Ever since having a termination in July 2016 and having the coil fitted which I only left in for 6 weeks I have had intermittent brown discharge which mostly is about 3 to 4 days before my period is due ( noticeable after intercourse) or sometimes it is just after ovulation. It's not a lot and it's like the very very tail end of Period. I have had swabs taken and they all came back clear. Has anybody else had this and should I be worried?
Starting to think it is all totally hormone related (plus that is what the doctor and the nurse practitioner have said) especially with the fact I've also an emotional wreck for about one week out of the month too. I'm such a worrier though I'm already on sertraline for anxiety but it's not helping with this.

Hi
Sorry you have those symptoms! The first thing I thought after reading this is hormones. Since your gynaecological tests we ok I would ask to be referred to an endocrinologist, they specialise in hormones and can run tests to see what could be causing this (if not anxiety). Maybe they will prescribe some hormonal supplements that can help you. I haven't had this per se but I have had some random spotting and soreness in the past and it was due to stress/depression=hormones so I know it can be a chicken-egg situation sometimes.

Hope this helps, let us know how you get on
