Today I went to my doctor because I am having severe bleeding.
The first thing they did is see when I had my last period, which was in March...then they asked me if I could be pregnant, which I guess I could be, but it is very unlikely. They tested me in May for pregnancy and it was neg...also, because of the menstrual like cramping I have, my doctor seemed to think it wasn't a pregnancy. She wanted to examine how heavy I am bleeding. She determined I was very seriously bleeding, which I already knew because my diva cup was measuring a 1/2 oz amount every .5-1 hr. She then took swabs of my edometrial lining and collected blood. She told me she was concerned about uterine cancer, though it's rare for someone my age (24) to have, but I'm not sure because my PCOS was untreated/ignored since I reached puberty around age 13 (I got my first period at age 11 I think though). She prescribed me with provera 2x daily for a week to stop the bleeding. She also gave me prescription motrin for pain and ordered a ton of bloodwork that got done today to check for pregnancy and anemia, and I have a follow up in a week to get an ultrasound and all that.
I'm scared...I know it is unlikely I may have uterine cancer, but how long does untreated pcos need to reak havoc on your uterus? Are there any other symptoms I should be looking for that would indicate I have something like this?
