Hi all some of you may remember I posted on here in Dec 2015 just as I had lap, it took me two months after my lap to return to work ( my lap sites got infected ) I had quiet a bit of surgery large cyst removed, right Fallopian tube removed, endo was found on my bowel, pelvic wall and my uterus is bulky. I was commenced on zoladex I'm due my fourth one this week. Now I'm stating to bleed heavy all of a sudden along with bad period pain. My mood as been up and down I've been teary because of what happening; weight gain and feel unattractive. My main chick nice enough is I went back on phased return to finish earlier everyday. Well that lasted 2 weeks people just think because your in hospital everything sorted, chance would be a fine thing, I've got my injections every month,then the bloating swelling achy bones in my ankles elbows and knees. What are we suppose to do, yes I need my job but my concentration is poor I just need among of sleep. I'm still waiting for my consultant review to decide what the plan is. Any advice greatly appreciated. Hope your all well ladies xx

If you have a bulky uterus it is possible that you have adenomyosis. This would cause heavy bleeding and painful cramps. Might be worth speaking to your GP about this x

Check your contract of employment. Contact acas, cab both free you may need to apply for esa. You may need your job but maybe your needs time to rest then a change, maybe work from home but you need to get your health sorted first. Hope you areunder a bgse centre if not request a referral.

Good luck x
