Experiences with

Menstrual problems

I have had some bleeding 7 days after my FET. Is this likely to be my period or could it be implantation bleeding? Thank you ladies you were very helpful when I was overseas 😊

Hi all, After TTC for a long time and spotting a week before my period every month, I had a scan taken and was told they could see a possible endometrioma on one ovary and other abnormalities on one side of my uterus. I’ve since seen a really great private consultant who wants me to have a hysteroscopy

hi ladies, I am going through another IVF cycle/FET. I had my prostap injection on day 23 of my cycle and usually my period has arrived 10 days after that. It’s now 15 days since the i jectio. And still no sign of my period. I have my baseline scan Thursday and concerned that my lining will not be thin

Hi,I'm new on here and seeking support. I have been referred to my local hospital for a laproscopy to check for endometriosis as well as blockages after experiencing changes to my periods, which started almost 2 years ago. To give context, my periods were fine up until 2021. I then started to experience

Hi everyone. I have PCOS so my periods are irregular. I've done clomid and IUIs with no success and am waiting to start NHS IVF. I've had my first 2 appointments (to provide samples for various tests and then to get the results of those tests). I'm confused about the next stage... I was told to call

So, I'm 27 and my periods have always been regular, occurring mostly every 25-26 days, occassionally later but never past day 30; however, my last period started after 37 days and I'm worried that this is going to be a regular thing now. I'm on day 26 today and nothing yet! I'm still getting the usual

This is my first time posting here, trying to figure out what to do and would really appreciate any and all advice! I was first diagnosed with endo in 2015 when I ended up in A&E with the most excruciating pain. I had an internal scan in which they found a huge ovarian cyst - size of an orange, and

Hi everyone! I was due to start another cycle before Xmas but I was sick , and then my husband was sick over Xmas so we had to push it to this month. Because of my husbands illness at Xmas, his most recent semen sample came back diagnosed with Oligoteratozoospermia. Never had a problem before , however

Hey everyone! I’ve been driving myself insane the past couple of days and could really do with some advice. We are supposed to be starting a fresh cycle of IVF (long protocol) next week, but I’ve had some random bleeding that is really worrying me. We have been TTC naturally while we wait for our

Hi everyone. I am currently waiting for my cycle to start so I can start my first round of IVF. I was due to come on Sunday, my body gave the usual signs; cramps, sore boobs, headache etc and I could have put money on my period arriving on time because I had all the usual feelings in the 3 days before

Hi ladies My first natural period returned in November. My December period was two days late and my January period was three days late. Did Prostap lengthen anyone else’s cycle? Xx

hi. I don’t even know if I ‘belong’ to this group. I’ve always had heavy periods and thought nothing of it (I mean doesn’t everyone have pain at that time of the month- I wrongly thought) until about 8 years ago when my gp diagnosed me with anemia. She said it was almost certainly caused by periods.

Hi, I started my second round of prostap injections last September as getting pregnant has been a fail for me. (My blog explains more about me so I won’t bore you with it again) Since having my last injection in November I haven’t had a period, however the first time I had had a period the following

Hi everyone. Just looking for support/advice. Not really sure what to do or where to go from here after being told I could possibly have endometriosis…and don’t know if it’s just all in my head 😩 I’m 26, basically in my teenage years I had horrible pain with my periods and they were so heavy. I used

Worried. Last week I started the pill, mini pill to be exact. I started it on what I assumed was my period (first day) as I had heavy bleeding and blood clots (I usually get blood clots on period so nothing too unusual) since taking the pill I have been having PMS symptoms as if i’m still on my period

HiExtensive endo was found during my lap in June 2021 - ovaries, bowel, diaphragm etc. I had my right ovary and tube removed. Four increasingly painful periods later, I reluctantly took my gynae' s advice and went on prostap for a year. It was great in that it stopped my periods, but I felt that the

Hello, I've been struggling for 5 years with PCOS, yet I didn't really know until 2 years ago that what I had was PCOS. I was 18 when I first got pregnant, and had a miscarriage not long after the 8th week. Apart of being devastated, my periods were so irregular I would sometimes feel only pain without

Hello! My laparoscopy is next month and I think it’s going to fall at the same time as my period. Can surgery still go ahead even if you’re on your period? Does it make it any more uncomfortable or complicated? Thanks in advance xx
