Hi all,
I'm absolutely terrified to say the least. My last period before this came heavier than usual and was within 2.5 weeks of my previous one. It was also heavier and lasted longer. I never usually get periods regularly, usually 5 times a year.
This months one has been horrific. I've been bleeding for 3 weeks now. Heavy clotting. The bleeding could stop during the day then at night I'm bleeding through pads and tampons. Then stop again. It's so unpredictable it it is every day. I've also had severe back pain the last week and nothing is helping it.
I had a vaginal ultrasound which came back as normal. No fibroids etc seen. Only issue was that my lining was thick considering the amount of blood I've lost.
Im terrified it could be cervical cancer. I went for a smear a few weeks ago but the gp couldn't get a sample due to the location of my cervix so I've been referred to the hospital. The wait times are crazy so I've a private consultation on Wednesday with a gynaecologist. I've historically had abnormal smears and positive for hpv.
has anyone been in the same boat and been ok as I'm losing my mind here!
