Hello ladies, I’m 52 post menopausal and suffer heavy bleeding. After scans I was found to have a 5cm ovarian cyst and 11mm endometrial lining, at the time I was on Everil Conti. I was told by my Gynae and gp to stop the hrt and try the mini pill to stop the bleeding and ease my mood swings. However the bleeding continued so was advised to come off the mini pill as well.
At this point completely cold turkey apart from my antidepressants which I’ve taken for years.
I’ve just had my follow up scans my 5cm cyst has gone and my lining is down to 4.1 but now I have a cyst on the other ovary and that’s without the hrt.
Spoke with gp on Friday and she is suggesting that I have a merina coil fitted and then either gel or a patch to balance my hormones.
I’m not a great fan of this idea for personal reasons, but I’m still bleeding quite heavy and need it to stop and it’s having a massive knock on affect with my mental health.
I’m also getting some left side groin pain and sharpe pain down below on and off every day.
If I’m honest I’d sign up for a hysterectomy right now and let them remove everything.
I’d be grateful for some advice please, to be like this on and off now for 4 years is getting to me so much now, I can’t begin to tell you how bad I feel. Thank you ladies I’m relying on you for help…desperate measures are needed to keep me sane. Xxx
