Hey Girls!
I have a big problem and I'm pulling my hair out trying to work out whats wrong and how to fix it. I have been trawling the net today and finally found something that may point to my problem it could be "post pill amenorrhoea".
I stopped the pill in May 08 after being on it for 6yrs. My period hasn't returned to normal... well it hasn't really returned at all. I have had maybe 3 since May they haven't been regular but the plus is they have been a lot better (less painful almost non existent clots) thanks to my naturopath.
Anyways, for the last 2-3 mths I have had dark brown discharge (like the kind of stuff I get at the end of a period) everyday, occasionally it will lighten up or stop for one day but its pretty much every single day. I'm sick of it, I just want my period back! I never thought I could want it so much...
My doctor has done a tonne of blood tests and has sent me for a pelvic ultrasound and nothing! nothing has shown up to be abnormal, but I did notice when I had the internal pelvic u/s I had a lot of pain when the sonographer moved the probe to look at my left ovary (before I got the results I'd convinced myself there was something on my left ovary because of that). But like I said there was nothing!
I also have shocking acne which really gets me down too.
I don't know what to do, should I go back to my GP and ask for a very uncomfortable internal exam or should I ask for a referral back to my Gyno?
Has anyone else had something similar happen to them?
Thanks
