I have just got over worrying about bowel cancer and now I am back on some kind of gynae cancer.
Since I had my son nearly 2 years ago (3rd child - had no problems with the other 2!), I have major problems with periods. I had some sort of breakthrough bleeding that lasted 6 weeks when he was only a couple of months old. When that settled down, I have been plagued with awful ovulation pains and mid-month spotting. My smear was normal a year ago and I have had normal blood test results and pelvic ultrasound. Up until my son was born, my periods were always regular and followed the same pattern for 18 years. Now they are all over the place!!
This month has been worse than normal. I had the mid month spotting and cramping but then have bled again since. My period is due today but for the last 4 days, I have been having very light red (TMI sorry!!) spotting that only lasts about an hour or two and then disappears until the next day! I have never had this before!! I saw another doctor yesterday who said that, given my normal investigations, it is probably a hormone inbalance but she wants me to have test for infection and another ultrasound just to be on the safe side!! I am really worried!!
I know I am young for uterine cancer (tests show I don't have cervical). I am only 37. It also seems like a massive co-incidence that it all started after giving birth but I am still very anxious. Has anyone had anything similar or can you give me any advice? PLEASE!!!!:weep:
