Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 In 1996 i gave birth to my first child aged 21 and everything went smoothly with no problems, As time passed my partner and i became broody and decided to have another child, but i'm afraid it wasn't to be. After trying for a long time i finally became pregnant with our second child but at 12 weeks i started to lose blood and miscarried. After that my periods became very heavy with large blood clots and a lot of pain and cramp, i tried to ignore it and just put it down to getting older. In 2002 i got pregnant again after a long time trying, but like the last time i miscarried again at only 6 weeks. No test were done at the hospital as to why i had miscarried again, I decided not to try again as i did'nt think i could go through all the heartache again. By september 2003 my periods had become so heavy and unbearable that i went to see my GP who put me back on the pill, that was all well and good for a few months and my periods and pain calmed down a bit, But about 6 months ago i started to experience bladder problems were i felt like i wanted to go to the toilet all the time especially at night and when i got out of the bath, i also started to get a lot of back pain and thought that it might be cystitus but test results proved that it was'nt. I was perscribed anti-biotics anyway and they seemed to clear it up for a month but straight after my next period the sensation of wanting to pass urine was back again so i went back to the doctors and was prescribed the same anti-biotics again, but this time they did'nt make a difference, so i went back to my GP and told him all of my symptoms and he seemed to think it was a muscle problem. I was then prescribed Detrusitol XL to try to mask my symptoms but they have'nt made a difference either. After reading about fibroids i am beginning to think that my symptoms sound a lot simular to those who have got them as i have read that fibroids feed off oestrogen in the pill and my symptoms only started after going back on the pill. Is there anyone who had the same symptoms as me before being diagnosed with fibroids? I am only 29 years old. It seems funny that i should have 1 child with no problems then go on to have 2 miscarriages with the same partner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
