    Hey there...

    i was in the exact same postion as you about a year ago and only now things have actually started to happen as im going to have surgury next wednesday... im 21 years old steady realtionship working and in constant pain due to cysts and enometriosis and pcos all combined...

    the best thing i ever did was pay for a private gyni becauae they get straight on with everything i was waiting for months and months and nearly lost my job because i could barely work on a day to day basis...

    i hope you have people to support you atm because i know how horrible and alone you will be feeling... if you can find the money to go private i urge you to do it and then after that gyni appointment theyll take you through the nhs as fast track or priority!

    stay strong x

      hiya hun ... thankyou for your support, i cant believe ive finally got my appointment through the door today. Its 15th june so all is not lost now. Its just been so hard to smile every day when i feel so grotty and nobody seems to be doing anything about it. Im reading through the letter and feeling abit anxious now as it says i can bring a family member with me? why would they say that? ... siiighhhh i need this over with and all tests done so i can put my mind to rest. On the p;lus side ive finally stopped bleeding , on day 2 of staying dry lol.... lets see how long that lasts. Im pleased you are getting sorted hun and on the mend , hopefully i can say this soon xxx

      I wuldnt wait till June, I would go now, you shouldnt be bleeding non stop, I know its just stopped now, but its still not right. Seriously, I wouldnt wait. I ended up in a and e twice and it was only then they did anything. Unfortunately mine has become more complicated, wont bore you wth the details x

      15th of June is too late !

      As I mentioned in my earlier note and another persons comment, get your self to A&E soonest. If you are bleeding in the way you suggest you have a medical emergency !!

    Yep exactly the same feelings here. I've been going back and forward to Dr for over a year now, and yo A&E 3 times over that period, even being sick with pain xmas ebe. Fobbed off, sent home with pain killers, told me for months I have IBS. Finally paid for private tests they found a cyst in November passed back to NHS who have never checked it since but booked me in for a laproscopy finally in Feb. Only just got date for it 12 June after pestering them. Will have been 15 months by then, only got to hope it's nothing bad as I've been so long with it 😔

      My cyst is on RHS too but since Xmas I have been getting left side sharp pains on and off too. It could be more cysts or just ovulating

      hiya louise... well ive still not bleed since it stopped so im happy about that but im still getting a dull ache constant and some shooting pains through my ride side. I was wondering whether cos i was bleeding for 3 weeks that it may of gone but im guessing the pains im getting means its still there if not bigger. What do u think hun?.. also my back ache is horrid atm .. The bottom of my backs hurts like hell but im getting no period type cramps... im confused... hope you are doing ok love xxx

      Yes your symptoms do sound like a cyst, though having said that I have the same ones as you but my gynae thinks I have endometriosis. I've been ok thanks other than the pressure feeling in my RHS which is building up a little more as will be period soon. Just can't wait for the 12th to get the op done

      No they didn't examine me at all! Bit weird actually, spent was at my Dr surgery as they do these regular consultations there every month. I walked in the room and he told me what he was going to do before I even sat down! I am not exaggerating 😂. He said he thought I should have a laproscopy and explained why. I was impressed with the knowledge he had about me, he had clearly thoroughly read my notes before I came in the room, but I was left surprised after that I had not had any examination, swabs nothing. Bearing in mind all my previous visits to hospital and Drs had been focused entirely on gastro areas
