So I'm sat here on the verge of a emotional breakdown. I have no one else who actually can empathise with me apart from you lovely ladies.

So apart from our recent news if OH having Oligozoospermia I have a history of PCOS & Endo. I can cope with all this as I know we can get treatment and are being referred to a hosp in Mcr.

I am having real trouble with my period at the min. I have been bleeding for 10 days now and am changing the pads constantly as it's extremely heavy. I have bought an used 11 packs of pads since last Sunday. I have been to the GP twice and also to A&E.

I have been prescribed Norethisterone and then given mefenamic acid and cyklokapron. The pain is constant and the bleeding is abominable. I have been referred for a scan as the GP thinks the Endo is back.

I'm exhausted, feel constantly in pain and sick of the sight of blood. I'm flooding my clothes every morning when I wake up. I'm reaching the end of my rope.

If I didn't want a baby so bad I would be asking for a hysterectomy.

I'm in tears now cos I am just sick of the sh!tty hand I have been dealt with fertility. I know we have no options now apart from IVF etc and we have both said we will do whatever it takes.

I just need to stop bleeding ;o(


Sorry you guys, I'm just so upset

Im really sorry i dont have any advice but didnt want to read and run. So sorry you are having such an awful time, hope af buggers off soon! Hope you are feeling better soon x

 

[FBTTN8079]

Ah Im sorry hon sounds like your having a crappy time, are you getting any other fertility support apart from the GP?? Big Hugs xxx

 

[laurat]

Oh big hugs honey!! Xxxx

 

[Blueflower]

So sorry you're feeling so awful. I hope the doctor can give you something to stop it asap. Its so unfair.

 

[Londongirl]

I wish I could say something useful to help you but please just know you're not alone in feeling so desperate and helpless. I really hope the doctors can help soon xx

Is the GP referring you to a gynae cos endo can only be seen on scan of its on the ovaries so may not be that helpful. I have endo too and my periods can be very heavy and extremely painful too, I used to take mefenamic acid and it does reduce the bleed. I take a vitamin called bee propolis (it works as an anti-inflammatory) and I don't get the terrible endo pain anymore. I hope it all eases for you soon and you get some help x

 

[Sparkl3ymel]

Thank u ladies xx

I actually cried at work today to my sis ( who works there too). It was the big pains in my lower tummy as the cyklokapron was wearing off and the bleeding started to get out of control again.

Helpless and frustrated u girls mentioned and you are totally right. It's been 10 days now and I'm on my 11 and 12th pack of pads. I should have shares in Always.

I had endo 10 years ago and had a laparoscopy which revealed it was on my bowel and in my pouch of Douglas. They put me on Danazol which gave me a chemical menopause but it was horrible.

We haven't heard about the scan yet or a referral to the hosp in Mcr but to be honest that's fine.

You see, I am at high risk of getting breast cancer through genetics so I am going for the tests next week to see if I carry the BRAC I & II GENES. If I do then I have to make the decision to have a double mastectomy or not.

Life is quite literally taking the p!ss at the min xx

 

[lisey]

My goodness, you have got a lot going on at the moment. I do hope the tests come back all clear for you xxx

 

[Sparkl3ymel]

Thank u xx

I hope so too xx can't deal with that as well at the moment xx

Hey hu , sending you some hugs

I had a similar cycle last month. AF arrived for 3 days, not as heavy as normal tho....vanished for 3 the reappeared for 23 days as a light bleed then I had a 'normal' heavy period. I had tummy aches along with it, and have continued with these and bloating again so I think my endo has made a reappearance, and mine was all around my left ovary. My Dr prescribed tranexamic acid to reduce the bleed. And the ACU said they would scan me if I was concerned. They think from my descriptions it was a ruptured ovarian cyst as I'm polycystic too. Have they considered this for yourself?

This was the 1st time my cycle has ever gon AWOL, and it ended with us having to postpone our next lot of IUi treatment, which I have already been psycing myself up for, for 4 months!

Hope your feeling better soon, and you have some good news. Hang in there xxx

 

[Sparkl3ymel]

Hey Chaz

Hugs for u xx it's a b!tch isn't it?

I am awaiting a scan anyway to look for endo again xx at this point it could be anything and everything!! St Mary's referral gone through and will be having an internal scan with them too xx

I just want answers, but I need to get my bmi down so we start at the gym tomorra. Hiring a personal trainer too to get my fat ass acceptable to the medical profession xx

 

[Kay Kay]

So sorry you're going through this mel. Stay strong, sending you hugs xxx

 

[Sparkl3ymel]

Thanx Hun xx

It's only got to get better right???? :/

 

[Kay Kay]

It will huni promise. Easy for me to say now but there were times that I couldn't see any light at the end of the tunnel and things were going wrong in my life (hated my job, all my friends were getting pregnant etc) I was just miserable that I wasn't getting pregnant myself and that I had to wait in a long waiting list for iui. Then my luck changed and now I have my wee miracle and I'm currently up for a night feed! Never in a million years would I have believed you if you told me this a year ago. Anyway I'm babbling now cos its late but just want you to know it can happen and to hang in there, your luck will change xxx

 

[cornishfairy]

Oh my gosh you're really having a crappy time of it aren't you hun. All I can do is offer lots of good luck, positive thoughts that all will be fine with the tests, and loads of hugs Someone once said to me at a diet class (which totally seems to apply to TTC too!) that some of us take a quick and straight path to our goal, whilst some of us take the scenic route!! I've definitely taken the scenic route with both!!! At least when we finally reach our destination we'll have plenty to write home about xxx
