Hi,
im new to this and am not really sure what I need other than some practical advice.
I'm late 40's and had been on the pill for many years therefore hadn't had a period for as long as I remember. In Jan 2021 I started getting cramps, long story short I was diagnosed with 2 uterine fibroids @2cm. In Sept 22 I started bleeding, a mix of pink, red, brown and black with clots along with awful cramps. Went to GP who said it would be the fibroids and that they weren't concerned because at my age they'll start to shrink. Fast forward to Feb 23, I'm still bleeding and my symptoms are very different. I've no idea about weight lost but I'm 3 holes down on my belt, I have terrible daily cramp, pain in my hips, particularly left side and my back and legs. Bleeding post sex now and I'm so swollen and bloated I'm just not sure what to do. I had my 3 yearly smear last week, when I had three days of no bleeding, but the nurse said it coukd take 6 weeks for results. I'm really worried about the increase in my symptoms and feel like k should be doing something but I don't know what.
I've convinced myself I've got cancer, something just isn't right. I don't smell like me, it's not a bad smell but it's not my smell. Any advice or similar situations?
thank you
