Hello,I will start by saying I don't yet have an endometriosis diagnosis. I've tried to find a general gynaecology group on here but can't find one.
Back in October, not long after ovulation I had abnormal bleeding. There was most blood on the day it started (only visible when wiping) and then there was smaller amounts of spotting on and off until my period.
The almost identical thing then happened in November and December. I've had a few other symptoms, some pain in my lower back, abdominal area and some discomfort around my vagina.
I had been planning to make a GP appointment in January after the Christmas period. I was assuming it was something hormone related as it was happening at the same time in my cycle each time.
However, my period ended 3 days ago and I have continued to have pain and spotting (red/pink) since. This has sent me into complete panic as it does not match the pattern and has made more serious things, such as cervical cancer, seem more likely.
I will be making a GP appointment but I am now very frightened.
(In the past, I have wondered about endometriosis - I generally have quite painful periods and used to have quite variable menstrual cycles - 28-40 days but this has been more settled over the last couple of years)
Any thoughts or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Just trying to stop my mind running away with itself.
Thank you.
(I am 33, no children, if that is relevant)
