I get better than I start worrying again... please help put my mind at rest.
My periods have been all over the place for the last couple of years since I had a miscarriage followed by a D and C.
They have been very heavy and more frequent. I have had lots of blood tests and scans as I worried about all the usual signs for cancers etc.
All came back clear. I last had a scan about 3 months ago when I saw a cyst which they classed as harmless.
For the last three weeks I have been spotting everyday - a small amount mainly and the blood is dark brown tinged with red. I haven't actually has a proper period since beginning of September so orginally I thought it was the start of my period - alas I just keep spotting!
In the last few months I have lost alot if weight (well alot for me anyway). I am F505 and now weighed myself this morning and I am 7.10 :ohmy: that is IMO way too small for my age (42).
Could this spotting and lost of a period be down to the weight lost (I am eating normal and healthy) Yes I am anxious and I having panic attacks - but I really understand them and have control (till this morning and now I am worrying again cos i ate loads yesterday and since lost a pound).
I dont want to go to the doctors again because she has been brilliant and given me every test going - she also stated that my periods could be down to stress.
i hate having to wear towels everyday! is this normal for a lady of my age - could it be the start of the change? I did have a baby 3.6 years ago.
Please someone tell me this is normal and I can start back on my road to recovery rather than spend every minute worrying that 'they have missed something'.
:weep:
ps - I also suffer from frequent thrush and cystistis (life is fun as a woman)
