Help and advice needed please.

Hello,

​I am on cerazette pill and have been for the last 5 years.  I switched from the combined pill.

I am accustomed to odd bleeding such as spotting and when I do have a period it can be quite long, but very light and changeable in colour.

Currently I am experiencing something quite different and unusual for me.

I began a period over 2 weeks ago.

The bleeding is consistently bright red.

​I am having almost constant period pain and lower back pain.

These two things I can cope with.

​I'm wondering when it's going to stop.  Indeed, IF it is going to stop.

Of course I've googled and come up with polyps in the womb and fibroids.

I am due a smear test and am booked in at the end of the month (the earliest they could see me).

​I'm wondering how long I should have this continue before I make a doctor's appointment.  Is it too soon to be examining whether this is just a blip of irregular bleeding or something more serious?

​I am looking for advice as to when I should take this forward with a health consultant if the bleeding doesn't stop.

I had fibroids and my periods continued to get longer and heavier. I had UFE and it has done wonders for me.  Your doctor should be able to examine you to see if you have fibroids. Good luck. 

Thank-you Linda.

​Hopefully I can see my GP today.  Just have to go down there and hope my tired, weary face will convince them I can have an appointment.
