Me Again.
Went to see the doctor again today. She has given me Mefenamic Acid tablets to try to stop the bleeding.
I have the Nexplanon implant. I have had this one for 18 months and in all that time have had one well behaved period about 8 months ago.
My period started this time on Christmas day and has not stopped yet.
I went to see the doctor about something else last week and mentioned it to her them. She booked me in for the nurse last Friday, who had a thorough look down there but was unable to tell me anything so mention fibroids and Got me a doctors appt for today.
Over the weekend the bleeding has gotten really heavy and today I am wearing 2 maternity pads at a time.
She gave me the tablets and will phone me next Monday morning to discuss doing a biopsy on the afternoon.
I dont know whether the tablets are supposed to stop the bleeding or slow it down?
Will she do the biopsy if the bleeding stops? or if it doesn't?
If the bleeding stops and she doesnt do a biopsy because of that how will she be sure I dont need one?
I really should have asked more questions
