I posted about this before, but as my period approaches I am more and more nervous about it.
Quick recap, I had a termination 9 weeks ago (I was just under 6 weeks gone). Had a light bleed for 5 days after 6 days had passed after the op, which i was told i had to have and showed the op had worked. 31 days after that small bleed started I had my first proper bleed. I saw my GP and he said it was my period, as it was 5 weeks after the operation. I had 2 light days, followed by 2 VERY heavy days. I had a gushing sensation everytime I moved or stood up, the blood was also dark and it terrified me to be honest. I really never have bled so heavy, and it scared me.
Since that bleed I have been quite nervous, and always wear a panty liner just incase, I actually feel nervous everytime I feel any kind of loss down there (discharge say) I feel nervous and it affects me when I am out. I sound silly but I often check myself down there:blush:
I am on day 25 of my cycle now, this will be my 2nd period since the termination and I am scared about my period arriving. I am really worried about it. I just hated the gushing feeling, it felt like i would bleed to death or something. I saw a GP at the time, and she did swabs and bloods, she said both would rule out infection and prove that the bleeding was just a heavy period. They both came back normal, yet I am still anxious about my period arriving.
Why can't I get over this fear? I have never felt scared on a period before. I know last month was expected to be heavy after the procedure I had done, but it has left me scared of my periods:weep: I am really worried about it starting this month, and when it will arrive. It is my sons birthday party Saturday and I don't want to be on edge, and I hope it doesn't arrive then because if it is that heavy then I will have to take to my bed, it really was so heavy last month:blush:
My GP today gave me the pill (loestrin 20) she said it may not help this months cycle but to start it on day 1 of my period.
I am not sure why I am posting, maybe noone can help, but I am really struggling with this fear at the moment:weep:
