Help needed

[JadeL]

Little background. Last month/cycle I got a new job so we put the breaks onto TTC. On cycle days 19,20 and 21 of July I had spotting, never had It mid cycle before. That cycle was 29 days.
This month Af lasted 5 days in total from July 31st to August 4th. Then today I woke Up and went to the toilet, wiped and there was a lot of blood. I'd say it was like I was mid way through af with the amount of blood I wiped away, wasn't on my sheets though. Definitely not spotting. I'm currently on cd22

So this is the second cycle where I have bled mid way through my cycles. I'm confused as to what this may mean. Any help appreciated

It's worth asking a doctor. I think with any irregular bleeding it's worth getting it checked out.

Yes I'm going to phone and make an appointment, hopefully it's nothing serious

Well the earliest appt I can get is 7th Sept!! But I will phone daily to see if I can get any appts that may have been canceled. I've worn tampons today and all have been heavy with blood! If I was on my period I'd say the amount I've bled today would be normal but I doubt ovulation bleeding is this heavy. Could it be miscarriage?

Do you have any pain?
Could you take a test to check? X

No pain. Still having to wear tampons and soaked through one in just over 2 hours, that doesn't even happen during Af. I have the morning off from work tomorrow so I'm going to phone and hope to be seen on a emergency appt.

Managed to get myself a cancelled appointment this morning, after I was done telling her about it she seeked another opinion of a senior gp and both agreed that at the moment they feel it's nothing too serious but want to know more. So I have bloods booked where they will do a full blood count And one to check my thyroid. She said to monitor the mid cycle bleeds and my periods and if I'm still concerned I'm to make another appt in a couple of months time. That's if the bloods don't come up with anything, otherwise I will be seen earlier. If it persists and I make that next appt they will refer me to a gynaecologist as sex hurts me too sometimes.
As for now we have to refrain from TTC (which we was doing) so my hormones stay as normal as they can be while they search into what's wrong.

That's good that you are getting blood tests and they are asking you to monitor it. Hope you are okay...imagine it's a bit upsetting being told to stop TTC. If the blood tests show anything they'll probably jump on it...otherwise it could be hormonal. Good luck with the tests. I had gyno stuff going on a couple of years ago and know how stressful it can be! xx

Glad you're getting things checked out, Hope it's nothing serious.

Thank you guys, I hope it's nothing serious too. I'm sure I'd be in some sort of pain if it was.
I've never been to a gynaecologist before so that'll be new if I do get referred there, just getting worried now that we may never be able to have children. In the past few years I've had so many trips to the doctors regarding my cycles etc, one doctor even gave me tablets to help my constant bleeding last year which then caused my liver to fail. So it's been a horrible journey so far. Onwards and upwards hopefully. x

Oh my god, that's awful! Have you ever tried a naturapath? My friend's cycles got better after seeing one - she changed her diet to paleo one I think.

What's naturapath? X

 

[Sunflower1]

I think it's just a term for someone who uses natural/alternative medicine - like acupuncture, dietary stuff. My friend did Bowen technique and was put on a paleo diet (she did have celiac disease though). I try and do what I can with diet. My hormones were out of balance because I was very overweight. I think there are books on hormonal balance through diet.

Well in total I bled from CD22 to CD28. About the length of my average AF and the flow was just as heavy. Now on CD 32 and no bleeding or suspected AF as its now due lol. I hate my Body sometimes. That bleed was either a heavy mid cycle bleed which shouldn't happen or a very early (for me) af. Roll on the blood tests.

 

[Sunflower1]

Sounds like AF - hope you get some answers.
