I Have Been Tracking My Cycles As I Am Trying

default
Posted on Sat, 21 Dec 2019
Question: I have been tracking my cycles as I am trying to become pregnant.



My cycles for the past few months are as below.



I have been using Clearblue Connected Ovulation Test which shows Ovulation.



August 25th 2019 - September 19th 2019 (26 day cycle, monitor showed ovulation day 13)



September 20th 2019 - October 19th 2019 (30 day cycle, monitor showed ovulation day 14)



October 20th 2019 - November 18th 2019 (29 day cycle, monitor showed ovulation day 12)



My problem is 5 days after my period ended on the 27th November 2019 I started with spotting. On the 30th November I went from light bleeding to a period and am still on period quite heavy. I am so worried about this as to what is wrong with me and will it stop me conceiving? On the 27th Clearblue Connected said high fertility. I am really stressing about this unusual pattern for me this cycle. Do you think this could just be a one off?



I did get pregnant in March 2017 but unfortunately when I went for a 12 week scan baby didnt grow from 5.5 weeks so subsequently ended in a miscarriage. I miscarried naturally at about 13 weeks. I had scans after to make sure everything had gone back to normal which luckily it did. I am so scared of miscarriage again but the way periods have gone I wont conceive anyway which is really upsetting me.



My GP wont refer me to any specialist until I have had 3 months of odd periods. He says if I conceived naturally before and my periods are regular I should conceive again. I haven't been trying very much due to feeling insecure about miscarriage but now feel ready and this happens with my periods

Brief Answer:
Pelvic ultrasound and TSH to be done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mrs XXXXXXX
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani.

The excessive bleeding that you are having now could be a one off event having no significance. It could also be due to hormonal imbalance or could be due to polyp or fibroid in the uterus.
So please get a ultrasound scan done. Get tested for thyroid hormone. That directs the further management.
As regards conception, you need to consult specialist. Although you are having regular cycles, the quality of eggs is often not optimum at this age.

If you have further concerns, I will be happy to answer.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The blood tests are fine.

For the bleeding you need to consult doctor for ultrasound. Only after the ultrasound right medicines can be prescribed.
At what age your mother had cancer ovary? Did any of your aunts, uncles or cousins have cancer?
If your mother had cancer ovary after the age of 50, then it is unlikely to be familial type. So do not worry .

If you have any further concerns, I will be happy to answer.

Bedt wishes,
Dr Rama

My mum had cancer at 58. My nana and grandad had lung cancer and nana had cervical and rectal cancer dads side mum side grandad had lung and stomach cancer.
I am going to pay for an ultrasound scan. Should the bleeding stop on it's own. I think it must be hormonal as I have put over a stone on in weight and I am obese with BMI of 43 but I dont have PCO
