I bled through three pairs of bottoms today even with big granny pads on

@PatientlyWaiting25 I don’t think they would help cause the clots I’ve been having are huge also I can’t wear tampons because of the pain so I’m not sure If that would suit.

@Medoesnotcare it's worth a try. It was the best thing I did switching to a cup. For some reason the cup helps with cramps, I don't know why.

@PatientlyWaiting25 I’m not sure it would hold clots that are almost the size of my fist but I guess I’d try. It looks quite big and painful tho idk if I’d be able to handle it

@PatientlyWaiting25 I’ve been in and out of doctors fighting with them for 3/4 years they won’t listen I’ve tried everything. One doctor actually even asked me “Do you know women bleed during menstruation?”. They also referred me for a gastric band twice and said my weight is the problem ? Was in A and E a few times too and they just say it’s probably a cyst and send me home to sort itself out. Kinda give up with them tbh

@Medoesnotcare second opinion definitely needed. You should at the very least be offered an internal scan and probably an appointment with a gynecologist too.

@PatientlyWaiting25 I’ve been to three different hospitals with referral letters from my Gp. Seriously fed up of healthcare over here. The endocrinologist I went to see read out my blood tests results infront of me saying some hormones were very high and some things were very low but I’m overweight so that’s expected.


I demanded a female doctor or someone higher up in the hospital and told her what was going on. I told her I was bleeding through my clothes etc and that the other doctor asked me if I knew bleeding was normal during menstruation she told me she trusted her team and discharged me.j even told her how there is endometriosis on both sides of my family and that my mam and auntie both had cervical cancer. Had to go back to my gp then to get referred to another doctor again

Seeing a new doctor on Monday so hopefully this time is better
