I wonder if anyone could offer any advice? I’ve always had pretty heavy periods but they were fairly regular. I have an almost 10 year old but came off the pill 7 years ago to ttc number 2 - never had any success but was diagnosed with “unexplained secondary infertility”. Fast forward to last summer and my periods seemed to go haywire - lasting upwards of 30 days and having to be prescribed meds to stop the bleeding and they seemed to get heavier with each one, passing massive clots (sorry tmi!). NHS scams came back showing a “simply cyst” on my ovary and everything else normal. GP recommended further investigation but with waiting times I opted to use my insurance and go private. I saw a specialist and she recommended a laparoscopy and cystectomy and a hysteroscopy. When I came round from the procedure it transpired it was an endometrial cyst not a simple cyst and that there was “fairly extensive” endometriosis which she had removed along with removing the cyst. I also had diathermy to clear out the uterus. I was told it had probably taken the time since I’ve come off he pill (so 7 years) to build up to that stage so given I still hope to conceive she didn’t feel it would be problematic to carry on without coil or pill for a year. However, it’s now 6 weeks after the procedure and I started spotting 2 weeks ago before starting to bleed properly 10 days ago. Much lighter than normal to start with but it now seems to be getting heavier and it’s obviosuly a long time again. It’s also very red fresh looking blood. Sorry for all the graphics - does anyone know if this is normal for the first period after this procedure or am i just back to square one??
Thanks in advance for any advice!
