Hi everyone, im new to the forum, really needing some advice or reasurance. Im 44 years old and for about a year, was taking the mini pill, cerezette, my periods were a nightmare, not heavy but lasting up to 3 weeks at a time, when they stopped i was fit and healthy for 3 weeks so sort of learned to live with it, over xmas i went to my gp as id run out of pills, mentioned the bleeding and was told to stop taking it as "it didnt suit me"! The followin 4 cycles, up to april were horrendous, lasting about 5 days, i cant begin to explain the blood loss, the worse was one day, in the shower, i felt a small pain in my left side then a great rush of huge blood clots, it was frightening, back to my gp where i was referred to hospital, saw a gynae, who then booked me in for a hysteroscopy, biopsy and a mirena coil under a general anesthetic. Had that done on 27 april, gynea spoke to me afterwards and said he couldnt find anything wrong, fibriods etc, left hospital with a pad on as there was a fair amount of blood, i think from the procedure, next day i felt fat and fed up, side effect from the general anestetic, i felt like i had something stuck inside me, like a tampon but i read on a different forum that thats due to the hystoroscopy, they inflate the womb with gas and i had probaly some discomfort from the procedure anyway. i had cramps in my back, never had that before, and mild period pain, but no bleeding! On the saturday, 3 days ater, a brown discharge started, by the end of the day it turned to slight bleeding, at the same time i also started where i couldnt focus on anything apart from this thing in my body, got real upset, i just wanted it out, , sunday was the same, my tummy was huge, i had cramps, couldnt stop crying, it was totaly freaking me out that i had a plastic thing stuck in my body. Bank holiday monday, the same, tuesday, straight to my gp, sat crying, begged her to get it out of me, told her i was bleeding, just abit more than spotting, she calmed me down, said feeling like i am was perfectly normal, general anesthetic can make you bloated and weepy, she spoke about 10 minuites about the mirena, how good it is, what its for etc, she even showed me one, its horrible lol! so that was it, came away, abit reasured, i begged her to take it out but its still there! up till last wednesday things were the same, non stop brown discharge turning to bleeding, my tummy back to normal, no longer weepy just sick to death of the nuisance bleeding, i decided to go back to the gym, wednesday morning, cardio, a few weights, felt ok, came home, sat down, stood up, coughed, and it was like a blood bath, no warning, probaly the heavyest bleed iv ever had, i went dizzy, felt abit sick, it was awfull. i got an emergancy appointment with my gp, she said, bear with it, things take time to settle, it will get better!When i said id been to the gym, she said, "oh, thats probaly why youve had the bleed, you shouldnt of gone"! Whats that all about! am i bleeding from the biopsy, hardly likely it was 3 weeks ago, is it this coil, why do i start flooding again afer an hour in a gym! Its now 3 weeks today since the bleeding started, from wensday, iv had period cramps, feel like crap, tired, my period isnt due, woke up this morning, had to hold myself and run to the toilet, heavy blood loss, flooding yesterday, looks like today is gonna be the same, i cant use tampons, risk of infection after the biopsy, absolutely cant take anymore, iv forgotten what its like to be normal, just want to talk to somebody who knows what this is like. Thanks Sam x
