Hello and thanks Hurdity and Zoe!
Yes- so I take Yasmin, the combined pill and so indeed wouldn’t have thought any peri symptoms would really show. I have a review with the doctor next week to discuss a bit more.
I have had intermittent breast pain since May, which as you might imagine has caused quite a bit of anxiety, but then according to one gp, I am just very anxious. 🙄(well I am because it’s my body and my life and I am worried about the pains!) I was however, referred to the breast clinic and had an ultrasound scan. All was fine. I was seen again there a month ago for a physical check and they were still happy, I also had full bloods privately about 8 weeks ago or so and no markers of concern whatsoever. So it’s all really good but all really odd. I dunno, sounds strange but maybe at 35 onwards things really do start to change? (different for everyone obviously). The armpit and arm ache was awful for two weeks or so, then it totally went. I just kept wondering why it might be. Hadn’t pulled anything, never hurt there before etc. It is tiring and anxiety inducing. The issue is, getting a doctor to understand and investigate rather than more or less dismissing it as ‘in your head’. Hey ho
