Hi all,
Thank you all for sharing your stories as it has helped a lot with understanding everything as it’s all very new to me.
So last September I started getting alot of left side pelvic pain and been having heavy/blood clot periods since September , I honestly never experienced pain like this and been having this pain on and off ever since! I was consistently pestering the doctors to solve this for me as they were not helpful at the beginning and I knew something was not right as I never experienced this before! They did finally listen to me and referred me to have an ultrasound. I had an ultrasound and they have found an 8cm cyst in my uterus and they think the symptoms that I have been having is linked to endo. I have now got my referral letter to see the gyno and waiting for an appointment, but concerned that I will be waiting a long time for the appointment 😔. The flare ups are really bringing me down, I never know when they are coming or going; I am bloated all the time (I look like I am pregnant), getting dull/sharp pains on my left side and goes round my lower back/down my upper thigh and feeling tired all the time, diarrhoea and hurts when I urinate.
I am taking painkillers etc, but just want to know if these flare ups are like a trigger to something or is it always unexpectedly? Also how long has the waiting time been to see a gyno through NHS?
Thank you for your help ❤️
