I'm glad you stopped the pills. Take it easy these next few days until you can get in to a doctor and let us know how it goes.
Take care.

Thanks for replying sourpuss, I wil keep you updated.
I'm working early tomorrow so it looks like next week will be the earliest I can try again to get an appointment. But I'm not sure if I should wait until my proper period stops and see if I start bleeding again.

Just a quick update. I finished my period on Sunday, it's now Tuesday and I'm bleeding again. Like before it's lighter than my period (although it is slightly heavier than when I bled before my period) and there is no smell. This time there is no pain, no cramps, no sharp pains...high up or low down.
Still not able to get a doctors appointment either. There was a man available today but I wouldn't feel comfortable.

I must admit i'm not comfortable with a male Doctor, had to go through 2nd degree Cervical Cancer and he had to burn it all away, it was embarrasing. But, i'll lighten it for you. I had such a laugh with him after and he made me so comfortable that if it came back, i would be okay with him now. He was chatting away, trying to make me feel comfortable, and i was as tense as, you know legs spread a man looking down there, older at that, and no one i know... ahhh. So i start telling him that i have a fear of needles, each time a Doctor tries to put one in, i start jumping, one broke it in my arm. What i didn't know, is at that time, he was inserting a needle, yep right there, having deadened it, and of course he did the panic thing, as i said, i didn't know he told me after. We laughed. Then when he was finished... He said, you can put your bum back on the table now. I looked down, and as i was so tense, i had lifted myself right of the table, again, i laughed. So, i learn't it's about feeling comfortable, if he's a man, just talk, at least you won't wonder each day, and if you felt un-comfortable, just ensure you see another Doctor next time that way you never have to see him again so i won't matter. I read your up-dates on this, so best wishes with that Doctor... Also, my guy is in England, maybe you can girl talk/lounge and tell me a bit about the place Not fair, he comes here often and i have no idea about England, would love to suprise him with oh yes and then... Keep well.

I saw a man doctor at my surgery before, it wasn't anything period related but when I mentioned that I was on birth control he didn't want to talk about it, he was like okay um..next..um what was I saying...it was like he was embarrassed and that made me uncomfortable. I know I'll end up seeing a man eventually though, most gynos are men here so if I can't see a lady doctor soon I'll just get it over and done with with a man doctor.

Today I was told that a lady doctor will be in tomorrow (Friday) so instead of ringing up 5 mins after they open to find out that all apps are already taken I'm going to go to the surgery just before it opens so I'm able to get an app first.

I was just thinking about all the symptoms and things I'm going to tell her. I hope she doesn't think I'm a hypocondriac! I mean I'm going to be telling her about aches and pains in my lower stomach, ribs, back, side, chest.
Also I'll tell her about the pains in my left leg and arm when I was on birth control.
I stopped bleeding yesterday but obviously I'll tell her about that.

I'm not sure whether to tell her about before when I had the shakes during the night for about a week and also I've had some weird headaches at the back of my head in the past week, my forehead and the top of my head felt like they were burning one day too.
And today I had a nosebleed, quite a lot for 20 mins. I used to get nosebleeds when I was 5 or 6 all the time but I haven't had a nosebleed in 7 years.
Oh, and I keep finding it hard to breathe at times, like my chest/ribs are too heavy for my lungs to lift.
hmmm...


Chandlers Wish where do you live? And where abouts does your guy live in England? It's so cold in here these days!

Also, I'm having problems sleeping. No matter what time I get up I can't fall asleep until late. Sometimes I'm still up at 4 or 5am! And sometimes I get up at 8 or 9am and yet I still can't sleep that night until at least 3am.
And I've lost weight, only about 3 pounds but that's probably because I was bleeding and now I'm not..

I think by memory you were diarising things? As they happened, so add to that and take the list with you may be the easiest and then talk it through with her.

There are a lot of things happening to you, the sleeping could be through you worrying and no sleep can cause aches and pains in parts of your body to. Your mattress may not be good any more either but if you diarise and tell her all, she may want you to get some tests but you need to get to the bottom of it all so you don't have to worry.

Male Doctors, perhaps ask what age group there in, the younger ones seem to be more knowledgeable. I went on the pill when i was 13 because of severe cramping that the pill assisted in easing.

I live in Australia, he lives about 2 hrs i think from that police academy masion where it's haunted or said to be, can't remember the name of it now and Conventry is an hour of so away. Never asked him to be honest...

Take care, good luck tomorrow sounds smart to get there before the doors open, they can't exactly turn you away....
