I had a bad UTI back in September, pharmacist gave me antibiotics and all cleared up. Saw the Dr 2 weeks later who said I needed to do a poop sample to be tested as I still had pelvic pain like a very heavy period. Tests came back positive and this male Dr said it was most likely bowel cancer. Was on the 2 week pathway to have a colonoscopy which was clear, no cancer, just previous gynae related surgery scar tissue sticking to bowel they thought along with diverticular issues . They recommended the coil be removed along with a smear which was done as I had started bleeding aged 57.

I still struggle with bad pelvic pain like bad period pains so a ultrasound scan was requested last year. In November I attended the scan which was cancelled 5 minutes before the appointment due to no staff! The next in Dec was also cancelled and I finally had the scan and transvaginal one yesterday and told the results would be back 3-4 weeks.9 am this morning my GP phoned to say serious issues have been found thickening of uterus and ovarian cysts and she would refer me to gynae. I then within minutes had a phone call saying my scan results had been seen by gynae and a hysteroscope was booked in for me. I've no idea what this actually is or what they've actually found or really what's going on!

I was told to stop M6 hrt immediately as I struggle taking progesterone as it gives my horrible migraine so M6 other Meds do stay in me ( lupus, arthritis, synovitis acid reflux asthma COPD etc). I've struggled with the most horrible fatigue since December where every absolutely exhausts me along with the continuous period like pains. The GP didn't explain much and was just trying to get me to have the coil fitted again which I really don't want as the last one caused nothing but pain for 5 years. I had no bleeding from the age of 30 until I hit 50 and started hrt. Investigations were always inconclusive and the Dr said no to my request for a hysterectomy as I'd suffered heavy periods all my life until they stopped after M6 last miscarriage ( I've had 10 losses including an ectopic and ovarian cysts which ruptured so an emergency surgery like a c section was the result of this to save me) things are always uncomfortable down there when they do smears and the coil fitting was horrendous!! ( I gave birth to my only live child naturally which was a breeze compared to the coil fitting!) Drs attitudes of oh keep still it doesn't hurt or stop being silly it doesn't hurt is what I've had previously so I'm in 2 minds if I should go ahead with this procedure that I don't really understand why I need or info about the pros or cons as it was the booking office that booked the appointment with no other info..

My main worry is now the hrt has been stopped I will go back to having the most horrible sweats which previously caused a job loss due to too many customers complaining about how I looked ( like id showered with my clothes on) can anyone advise? Thanks for reading
