My symptoms include –

heavy periods since my teenage years and now after two kids I think its worse… Even while nursing I got my period right away – most of my friends didn’t have their period at all while they were nursing. (And I nursed my first son a year – second son same thing got my period right away and got it every month very heavy)

After my first son – around 2 to 3 months I was having very tired sluggish feelings – want to sleep all the time – lots of hair loss (which I thought was normal after having a baby) the doctors diagnosed me with hypothyroidism (which my mom is the same and 1st cousin was diagnosed after her 1st child) WEIRD…..was on synthroid high dose then eventually very low dose to where my doc told me to cut the pill in half dose, now I’m off of it completely.

last couple months deep pain during sex (not all the time)

very irregular bleeding – usually right after my heavy painful period - I don’t bleed for about a week then it starts with bright red blood one day then brownish then red – then it gets to reddish brownish stringy blood – my last period very large blood clots…

have to wear a pad everyday

have period pain, cramping pain quite often sometimes every other day in lower abdomen – mostly in my right side but left sometimes

I get really bad headaches right before my real heavy period.

My mood swings are awful – I feel like I have PMS everyday….
I was on the pill for around 10-12 years – it took us awhile to get pregnant. Got off the pill tried a year – nothing happened. Had some cysts rupture which was so painful. Ended up having exploratory surgery (they went in and discovered I had endometriosis and cyst on my ovaries) tried for another year – no luck! Then they blew my tubes with the dye and found out my fallopian tube were blocked. Doc said go home and try get pregnant right away – he said – that night we did and we got pregnant right away. Very healthy pregnancy and handsome healthy baby boy.
In-between baby #1 and Baby #2 still bad periods – tried birth control while nursing (the nursing pill one) no luck with it – got off the pill and still bad periods
We had no problem getting pregnant with baby#2 Health pregnancy and healthy baby boy.

Been 3 ˝ years since my last baby - Period was kind a back to normal until these last 2 years

My mom is a breast cancer survivor twice around so I’m scared

I know my own body and know something is not right and off balance (by the way I have very bad break outs around my chin/mouth area – red swollen cystic bumps)

Yes I know your probably wondering why she hasn’t gotten this taken care of… I called my OBGYN - talked with the nurse – she said they would probably have to do all these test like before but I had insurance back then. We just recently moved to a country with a lot better health care so I am trying to get it straight to go see a doctor – I don’t think I can take this much longer.
