So far it’s been two weeks. Last months cycle was 34 days and a really light period this month was 24 days and extremely heavy - both with constant but light (heavier than spotting!)bleeding inbetween.
Yeh, that sounds really similar to mine. As long as you keep getting medically checked, try not to worry so much unless you have some deep nagging feeling something is far worse going on. I know that is not easy because when it happens you always fear there is! If you feel like you may have other peri symptoms, dig around and find some specific forums etc. You'd be surprised how many ways it shows up to annoy you!So far it’s been two weeks.

Hi! I don’t have any answers as such but just wanted to say that I currently have ongoing issues and two years ago I was in the exact same position as yourself, my periods are all over the place and I haven’t had much luck with them since 2015 (coming off the depo injection) but there was a stage where I bled non stop for a whole year, at one point my doctor prescribed me norethisterone along with buscopan and I ended up in A&E with the same pain you’re describing (I also would’ve been 23 at the time) they didn’t really do much so I chose to stop taking the norethisterone and the pain died down, at present I’m not having any periods but the pain did subside and I only feel it periodically maybe every 3 months buts it’s fleeting so I feel it was down to that medication, I’ve also had my first smear and everything came back fine so I wouldn’t worry about that side too much!Hi there, I went without a period for 3 month...I began bleeding and it lasted over 5 weeks, the doctor done bloods and it was nothing hormonal, diabetes or thyroid trouble. He gave me some tablets Norethisterone, I finished my months worth of course 2 days ago and I started bleeding again in this time. In between this, I rang 111 with agonising pains in lower right side of the stomach and they sent me to a&e...all my bloods was fine once again but this time I had high white blood cells. They gave me antibiotics incase it was a water infection (the pains didn’t go and I still get them now), they also said it could be a twisted cyst on my ovaries but I’d need a ultrasound scan. I cannot seem to get any appointments with my doctor and a&e said my doctor would be the one who had to refer me.
Has anyone has similar symptoms and found out what it was regardless if it was something minor or something more serious? I’m also only 23 and too young for a smear on the NHS, I got scared and asked a&e if it was cervical cancer and their reply was ‘too soon to say’ I know I may have jumped to conclusions but I was genuinely scared hence why I asked. Would a private smear be something I should look into? I’ve never had children, I’m not sexually active ect.
