I've had no period for 10 months and then with no warning I had sudden very heavy bleeding. I had to change every 45 minutes to a hour. This lasted for four days, but I have had pink spotting on occasion since then. I was sent for an ultrasound which showed a coarse myometrium, a few small intra-mural fibroids, some subendometrial tiny cysts and a 6mm endometrial thickness.
My gp says no further action is required. I'm concerned because if I had reached 12 months of no period then they would consider the 6mm endometrial thickness as something to look into, but as it was only 10 months, it's considered normal.
I'm not on any hrt as I had to stop taking it a year ago due to having high grade dcis.
I've been having stabbing pains in my lower abdomen which are worse when I stand up. I then have aches in my lower back also radiating into my upper thigh area. I have had nausea and dizziness which I have only had in the past if I've have higher levels of progesterone.
Has anyone else experienced difficulty in getting their GP to take them seriously?
