I emailed the GP back today and have said I'm not comfortable with taking the pill and have asked for a scan.
I had a scan around this time last year to investigate the cause of my heavy periods, and was told all was fine then. A recent blood test came back fine too, not low in iron and no concerns regarding thyroid. This is why at at the end of last year I was prescribed the Mirena coil which I have at least another 2 to 4 months before it can be fitted due to our GP surgery no longer fitting it and waiting lists for gynecology dept.
Things can change in a year though so I would still feel more comfortable having a scan.
I have been charting my period, moods etc since I stopped taking the pill 3 years ago, which is why I have noticed my current issue out of the norm for me.
When I started my periods in my late teens before going on the pill they were always irregular and heavy, the pill kind of helped as in controlling his regular they were.
I was also diagnosed in 2002 with PCOS which why I was finding it difficult to conceive at the time so I had fertility drugs to help me to conceive my first son. My second son arrived 16 months later with no issues conceiving. I went straight back on the pill then, again due to heavy periods.
This issue now along with the erratic mood swings and tiredness is really getting me down.
