I need your advice please, my story is long so I will try to make it as brief as I can:
Basically last January I started a period which did not stop (never happened before), I went to the doctors and she sent me for some blood tests, they all came back ok and then the period just stopped (19 days it lasted), all was ok for a couple of months but then it happened again and basically for the last 12 months it has got worse & worse, I have been back & forth to the doctors who have sent me for loads of tests, they finally agreed in December though to send me for an ultrasound (both internal & external) the ultrasound results also came back as clear and they have said that this is basically now all down to my hormones. They advised me to have the implant fitted last October as I have had this before (after I had come off the Depo injection) and when I had it before I had no periods at all, it hasn't happened this time so now they have said that as all the results are normal I need to monitor everything for the next three months and see what happens, I agreed to that yesterday but then this morning I have just read the an article in the Daily Mail about someone who was having similar issues - my question is though - what should I do now? Do I print the article, go back to the doctors & demand I see a specialist or wait & see? Sorry to go on but the link is below.
