Hello all.

In need of some women health advice. ( I’m looking for general advice not health advice )

I’m based in the UK and have been having issues with irregular periods for about a year now.

I went to the doctors yesterday following blood results that came back fine.

My period is currently 26 days late which is very late for me ( I’m normally 1-2 weeks late )

I have done pregnancy tests which have come back negative, also been trying to conceive for about a year now and I have a 2 year old.

I spoke to my doctor as I’m feeling very unwell, with sickness, feeling faint and dizzy and just feeling not myself. I also have been in pain on and off for about a month, with period like cramps that go from mild to severe. The pain has been on and off on my right side and when this happens it’s very painful.

The doctor wasn’t helpful to start with saying I might have a viral infection which is causing me to feel unwell and that I need to lose weight to regulate my periods ( which I’ve lost nearly 2 stone and there’s been no improvement )

I started crying in the doctors and she then has referred me for an ultrasound and to see the gynecologist ( but only after I broke down and said I can’t cope with feeling like this anymore )

Have any of you experienced anything like this before and do you have any advice, I’m still feeling so unwell and I don’t know if I should get a second opinion?

Thank you all.
