Bleeding between periods and pain Posted: 02-05-08 12:09pm
Hi All
I am totally new to this forum so Hi to
all. I have a problem at the minute I
have been bleeding between periods for
about 4 months now and have terrible
cramps with it (I am currently hugging the
hot water bottle). I normally have very
heavy periods with lots of clots and pain.
I has seen my doctor and he arranged for
a pelvic ultrasound and this was negative
so he told me to hold of and see what it
was like next month (this was in Jan).
The bleeding started again yesterday and
was heavier then it was before so I went
to him again and he referred me to a gynae
but I can't get an appointment with him
til the 6th March and that was going
privately. I am just worried about this
has anyone any idea what it is? I'm
nearly 32, had two miscarriages 7 years
ago - unknown cause. My periods are very
regular, lasts about 7 days and I have a
32 day cycle.

hi. i'm sorry i can't be of much help, but
noone else had replied so i didn't want
you to think you were being ignored!
i really don't know what this could be.
but four months is an awfully time for
this to have been happening, particularly
since you are experiencing pain with it as
well. i am very shocked to hear that the
closest appt you could get is a month
away!! and privately!! this is not good!!
if i were in your position i would be
really worried and i would be angry that
more wasn't being done to find out the
cause. i know there are waiting lists but
i would have thought you would be given
more priority than this. i would ask to
been seen by a different doctor. one
person's opinion wouldn't be enough for
me. i might even call up the nhs
helpline, or even ask a doctor question
here on the board..?
i take it you are not on any hormonal
contraception?

Hi Fiona
Thanks a lot for your reply I was feeling
a bit ignored! You are right when you
said I am not using contraception we will
be trying for a child again late this year
early nect year and I am loathe to take
the pill which seems to be the only answer
to any gynae probs because I want to give
ourselves a fighting chance. I am really
worried and annoyed that I have to wait so
long and I can't use the NHS helpline as I
am in Dublin. I will ask the dr here
thank you for the suggestion.
