Today is a bad day, i just feel like running away getting in my car and disappearing. Everything is getting to me today, and i am feeling very low. I am sick of the spotting sometimes it comes down sometimes it is just there when I wipe from being at the toilet. There is no pattern. I don't know if it is normal i had a hysterscopy and biopsy in 2017 when my periods were more regular but I had a thickened lining but was told it was because if is very likely the menopause, my GP is not bothered about the spotting or period pain. My health anxiety is out the window I had a mammogram screening a week ago and very worried i will get the results this week i feel bad tempered with everyone my mum told me the other day she had never seen me look so fat which has really upset me because i know i am 3 stone overweight but it doesnt help. Does this sound all normal Thank you for letting me rant on Ellie xxxx.
Yes.. normal I would say! I often feel like ‘what’s next’? I can’t take it anymore. This morning I was laying in bed thinking bad thoughts about this and that-- I’m sure aniexty.. I got up and did some floor exercises to ease my mind and then went back to sleep for a bit. It helped. Yes, I get so sick of my heavy periods–it’s just something I have to deal with-- very frustrating to be in the bathroom all the time!! Then I get aggravated and tend to take it out on others who are rushing me. Good luck on your mammo!! I’m sure it’s OK as they would’ve called right away for extra tests if it wasn’t good. Take care and if you need to go leave for a few hours-- I have done this where I just sat in the car to read or people watch..
Dear ellie
I know it must all be getting to you, I had the spotting in peri and I found it frustrating and worrying, wondering if it was normal! I had a transvaginal scan to put my mind at rest. I have my mammogram Monday (my sister had breas t cancer a t 27 and passed at 31) in 1997, us women have so much to contend with don’t we? Going back to the spotting it does sound pretty normal part of peri unfortunately x
i had terrible bleeding on duoelleste . not the right one for me as it had caused thickening of the womb lining i went onto tibolone and no more bleeding and hot flushes . would recommend
