Today my period started very light bleeding this never happens its always very heavy and the pains came back last night i feel so tired and sick i did visit the doctors last month when i nearly fainted to be given Tramadol and anti sickness to be told i could have a tummy bug hence i really don't want to go back to gp

What meds are you on at the moment?

also have you had any indication you might have an ovarian cyst forming? they can knock your periods out of whack quite quickly and cause sudden pains and burst at any size causing sheer agony?

If you are not on BC pills it might be worth considering taken them for a few months to try and regulate the cycle at 28 days,, or take them back to back to skip periods and have a break from the worry. Do you have any other docs at the surgery that you could book an appointment to see? You are not obliged to always see the same Doc at the surgery, even though they ask which is your Doc, you can opt to see a different one to discuss this. Look for the surgery website and see if they have any docs there that specialise in women's health issues.
