Hello everyone.
Been awhile since I posted. Something isn't right and I'm panicking.
It's to do with my periods. I will be 45 in November. Over this year I have noticed the leangth between my periods changing. The longest was 36 days the shortest 18. I had the copper coil removed last year because it was causing continuous spotting. Anyway, in June this year my period came on my 24 th day, (14 June) I spotted brown/black for a few days and kept thinking when is this going to kick in.. It did eventually but not till about the 25th of june and I had about two to three heavy days which is normal for me and then it was moderate, but in total it all went on for 21 days, so it finished July 4 th
During this time I went to the doctors. She examined me and said the lining was thick and she would arrange a ultra sound scan. She told me this could be the beginning of the end.
I waited for my scan date and whilst waiting my period came again on july 20th... No spotting just bang right into it and lasted six days. My scan date arrived and I went for it on 6 th of August. She asked me when my last period was and I told her two weeks ago, I asked if the lining was thick and she said yes but I would expect it to be the thickness it is now because your mid cycle.
There was no fibroids or anything like that.
The very next day I started to spot. It was brown/black and hardly worth a tampon. This went on for days and eventually one heavy day and a few moderate days ... But I'm still going.. Today is 32 days of bleeding. Past few days I've been using regular tampons, that's how light it's been and normally i use super plus. Yesterday was a good day no tampon just a pad only there really when I wiped. I woke up this morning and its heavier and red. I sat on the loo and cried. I'm terrified.
During these 32 days I have been to the doctor and she was putting it down to pre menopause and wasn't going to do a thing, so I saw another doctor. I told her I wanted a full blood count and a pre menopause test and I want to see a specialist.
She did my bloods and everything was fine but iron was boarderline which I figured would be despite taking it for sometime so I've upped to two a day. She said the premenopause test was ok but a little off beat what ever that means?? So now I am waiting for the specialist appointment.
I am terrified I have endemetrial cancer. I can't tell you how scared I am. I go on holiday to America in four weeks with my husband and our little girl and I just can't look forward to it and everyone is excited.
I am sorry this is long I really am.. But there is one other thing I forgot to mention. During my last vist to the docs I mentioned my worries about birth control, condoms were scaring me in case of a mishap. She agreed I needed something and because of my age we agreed on the mini pill cerezette. I started taking it the day after my appointment.
I've googled and googled and I can't find anyone who is having theses prolonged bleeds. Those that do either have fibroids or are sure they are premenopausal because of other symptoms and skipped periods,I don't have any other symptoms.
I've got no one to talk to I'm at the point of breaking down
