Help/advice about periods please!
I'm messaging here because I've been dismissed by male doctors before and I'm not sure whether to make an appointment or not. I've basically always had irregular periods but they've been getting worse and worse - heavier and more painful and I can never predict when I'll get it. Cycle length varies

Questions to ask GP for escalation
I am also taking Escitalopram (at the same time) and on the Nexplanon (

Combined Pill at 38

I’m still bleeding which I didn’t think would happen it’s only really light I’ve also had headaches more than normal. If I stop

Can you use Utrogestan as contraceptive?
I'm nearly 44 and was diagnosed with early menopause at 41. I was on Femodene for 2 years (from 41-43) but started to have serious side effects so switched to HRT. I am now on Oestrogel pump gel and Utrogestan pill 14 days on/off which gives me a monthly bleed. I feel like a new person on HRT but I'm

Medication Side-Effects Are Scary
i have suffered from anxiety and depression for many years and have mainly treated myself through exercise, meditation and Xanax as needed.

Spotting/slight bleeding at time of laparoscopy
Hi, Does anyone know if it matters if you are spotting/lightly bleeding when you have your laparoscopy? I’m on the pill and my periods are all over the place. So worried my surgery will be cancelled again. I wasn’t told this at my pre assessment so didn’t think anything of it. I can of course ring up

What sort of specialist should I see for PCOS?
I was diagnosed with PCOS in December last year. My diagnosis was through private medical insurance but I was told my insurance only covers diagnosis and not further treatment. I have acne and amenorrhea (no period for 8 months). I just want to get period back naturally without going on the pill. Should

Management treatment for post endometriosis surgery
Hi all, I had endometriosis surgery last week and was discharged with the pill. However, I am not too keen on taking these due to the long term risks. Therefore, I am booked in to have the mirena coil inserted later this week however, again I am unsure about how I feel about this. Has anyone been in

Implantation Bleeding?
The most likely time of conception was one week ago today. Yesterday I began bleeding (dark brown discharge) but I am not supposed to start my period for another 9-10 days. I am on the pill but I haven’t missed any days. I am also having very mild cramps but those are my only symptoms. Does this sound

Periods
Sorry probably a really random question. I am away to come of my pill shortly to start the protocol for my biopsy. Usually I would start meds on the heaviest day of my period but the pill seems to make them quite light so it’s hard to tell. Does anyone get the same? Do you just start on the 2nd day?

Blood clot
Hello, I have started taking the combined pill this past and am now on a break and started my period today. A blood clot was on the pad about 10 cm long? Is this normal or do I need to panic?
