I am just having a horrendous time and don't know what to do.
I have been bleeding every single day since January 2019. I had the copper coil fitted for 7 months and couldn't handle it anymore so had it removed. In that time, I was hospitalised twice due to the pain.
The bleeding has never stopped.
I have had my smear test which came back normal, an internal and external ultrasound that came back clear, a cervical biopsy which came back normal but I cant leave my house due to how heavy the bleeding is, the clots are enormous and multiple every day. No one will take me seriously.
The cramps have gotten to the point where I can't move or stand and have to engage in labour breathing techniques to get through the pain.
My gp has given me Mefenamic acid, Tranexamic acid and utovlan to take 3 of each, 3 times a day "until bleeding stops" which it never does and then gets much worse after the 10 day course.
I have been trying to exercise (I have mobility issues anyway and am exceptionally overweight) to try andget healthier and lose the weight because that's all they throw at me every time I see a doctor is "try losing weight." But it just makes the bleeding so much heavier and so many more clots after exercising.
I also can't take hormonal contraception due to the adverse effects on my mental health so I just feel absolutely lost and alone and honestly don't know how much longer I can live like this.
I am waiting to see a new gynecologist but the waiting list is 39 weeks (so roughly 14th January 2022) from when I was referred as previous one performed a procedure on me without telling me what they were doing so I refuse to go to them again.
I just don't know what to do.
