Hi, my symptoms go back over 2 & a half years. I got sterilised & for a full year after I had really heavy periods, lower left sided abdominal pains leading to me having an investigation with an oncologist & a scan. Both couldn't find any form of cancer which was the best news I could of heard but on the oncologists suggestion I got the merina coil fitted to help with the bleeding. Since having the coil I have not had one single period. That was a year and a half ago. I still got the odd pain but it was bareable. However around 3 months I noticed my bowel habits had changed a lot. Blood in my stools, either constipated or really loose, bloating and more flatulence & exhausted. I went to my gp who agreed with my suspicions about IBS. He gave me tablets which I took for month but noticed no difference. Bloods shown I had raised CRP and a high plasma viscosity, repeat bloods were fine tho apparently. I went back to my gp just last week who after hearing my maternal grandmother died from bowel cancer at 53 has referred me for a colonoscopy and a scan of my ovaries as well as a stool sample. I'm still waiting for my appts and results to come back but just yesterday in work I came on my period. Strange after a year and a half of nothing that I would bleed out of the blue like this. I googled about the merina coil and seen some advice that said to check if I could feel the strings of my coil as bleeding could suggest it's migrated out of its position. I checked and could not feel any strings but I have found a lump inside me which I think feels the size of a pea or maybe sweetcorn. I feel like I'm mithering my gp with yet another issue but I can't help feeling somethings wrong and it's all connected. Should I wait for the appts I've already been referred for or should I go in again with these new symptoms. I'm 35 with 3 children.
