Oh my goodness,  38yrs and convinced it might be early menopause too, well more hoping. I would rather that. I have smear booked for Wednesday coming. Here's my story, 

I have been unwell for a year now. Been to neurologist, had mri, CT scans bloods, you name it I have had it. With no diagnosis. Anyway all things came to a head in the last week. I will try keep it brief apologies for any TMI moments. 

Was taken in with chest and shoulder pains, suspected heart attack. D Dimer bloods were elevated so ct scan with dye was needed to check for blood clots. No blood clots, I then leave hospital with a growth on my (adrenal gland) kidney and I'm waiting for hospital dr to confirm what investigations are needed with my gp. 

After hospital saga, My periods finished 21st Jan, had sex with my husband on 23rd, late on 24th I was bleeding, light, pink, then on 25th it was yuk! Dark and pungent. I however nipped in shower and thought old blood due to having sex, now it's all gone. However I was clever enough to make smear app on Wednesday 3rd Feb. Now we are on today 29th January. Come tea time I went to bathroom, wiped and even more pink blood, but more than first time. 

As you can imagine im freaking out, elevated d dimer not normal, growth on adrenal gland not normal, now I'm bleeding. 

I can set my watch by my periods. I have an app I use from when we were trying for baby. It's always spot on. 

The worst thing is I'm tired all the time and I just feel not well. I feel really not well, I have done for a year albeit my mind was on neurological problems. I just can't tell the drs exactly what's wrong, I just know something is. 

Surely just bleeding doesn't mean some kind of gynalogical cancer, but now I have these other things noted in my files I don't know what to think. I can't also stop my brain going to cancer somewhere below. 

Trying to put it out of my mind till smear results but doing really rubbish job, and now everytime I wipe I'm.right back in my own head. 

Fingers crossed we both get answers, and it's ones we want. Xx

Who knew rollercoasters were not fun? Well at least the emotional ones lol. 

I really hope it all comes back fine for you. Likewise, would be nice to hear how well you got on xxx

Hello!

I was referred for a transvaginal scan following appointment.  I have three fibroids (hence hte heavy bleeding) but they also picked up on a cyst (benign, they think) on my kidney and my left ovary is measuring in excess of 9cm.  Now awaiting CA 125 results.  Such a stressful time!!

Hope you are well xx

I'm still waiting for my appointments for ultrasound, because of my symptoms and my mums medical history I have to have another ct scan, I have a lovely big brown tub to collect 24hrs worth urine in, tablets to suppress my hormones so they can do blood tests. They want to rule out a pheocromocytoma with me. I am currently now off work because everything I do something strenuous my blood pressure rises, headache starts, start sweating and heart starts beating out of my chest. It feels like a panic attack that never ends. 24th May for my tests. I don't really know how I feel now about it all. 

I'm glad you have been seen, it's all a nightmare just now as everything is slowly returning to normal. I hope it all comes back clear for you. I bet like me we never saw ourselves turning to such a forum. Stay strong. Xxx
