Hi all, i would like some opinions and thoughts on this please...
i am 23 years old, i have been getting my period for 10 years. it has always been irregular, but every period was the same. they would last 10 days and be very, very painful. I have had many tests over the years. bloods, ultrasounds, paps, lappy and whatever else there is. nobody has ever found anything wrong. ive tried birth control pills, 7 brands. they didnt change a thing.
i havent had any tests for about two years now. apart from the basic bloods, ultrasound once to check for a cyst and my pap. anyway this year my period has changed majorly. my average cycle has always been 3 months. but this year, i have had my period for literally half of the year (i added it up, 1 day under being a year exact) i am having periods that last up to 50 days (this one is my longest and its still going) and the shortest this year is 22 days, next to that is 30 and up. the most ive had between periods is 3 weeks i think. and even when i dont have the period kinds of bleed, most days i will be spotting (also never had spotting before).
the periods go in waves of light and heavy, heavy days i can go through a pack of overnight pads, on average im using about 4 pads a day.
i saw a doctor earlier this year and she just gave me the pill to stop the bleeding. which only worked for a week i might add. and i saw another doctor last week and asked about ovarian cancer, he laughed at me. he said i cannot get ovarian cancer at my age. i know this is false. but hes made me feel really stupid. he just gave me a prescription for a pill i have already tried and said bye... i am seeing yet another doctor in just over a week. this is the one i normally see but hard to get into. hopefully she takes me seriously.
i also have random bloating, my meal size has shrunk to 1/4 then normal and im only eating one meal a day now. im just not hungry and often feel sick if i eat. this is only a new thing that has been going on for the past 4 weeks. in less than 2 months i have lost 20kg. something is going on!
