I’m really angry that I have to wait so long for surgery
Hi I’m a 26 year old casual reader and have really been at my wits end and need know what I should do. I just got my labs back and my hemoglobin is 9.1 ( ofc no ferritin is included in my labs smh) and I feel like I’m on the verge of dying everyday and I wish I was exaggerating. I’ve been bleeding with no more than 10 days off since February of this year. So each month heavy bleeding for 2-3 weeks. It all got bad in march when I had a ferritin of 7 and hemoglobin of 8.1 and my gyno took weeks to write me a referral and I even went to the ER to try and get an emergency iron fusion waiting on this referral and they told me my hemoglobin wasn’t low enough for a blood transfusion (it’s was 9.5) and that the iron fusion center is closed on the weekends so there’s nothing they could do other than prescribe the iron supplement.Bs. In April after my first iron transfusion, I’ve been bleeding since the second week of April til current day. It was extremely heavy the weeks after my infusion and then it’s got a bit more manageable ( went from wearing depends to overnight pads) and in present day I have to wait at least 3 more weeks til my fibroid hysteroscopic surgery. It’s June 10th. But everyday day I feel like I wake up and can feel alright (or my cramps wake me up it’s always depends) and by the evening I’m bleeding so heavy I can’t leave the bathroom I’m bleeding thru Depend diapers every 2 hours for the whole evening till I go to bed. It all comes and goes and I can’t ever predict the day I will have. I’m on birth control since October of 2025 it’s the patch. I don’t love it and ever since I got it all of my fibroids symptoms have gotten slowly worse. I don’t know what to do. It’s been a really long road just to get this surgery and I’m just so angry and in pain everyday. I take 4-5 500mg Tylenol on the days it’s bad (which can be days at a time) and daily I’ve been taking edibles for the cramp pain but it’s come to not work as well. My doc has prescribed me TXA a few weeks ago but I haven’t felt I needed it til this week as I’ve been bleeding heavy clots for the past few days. I may give it a try. But I just feel like I’m being tortured waiting for this surgery and I’ve been a monster to be around. Everyday I feel I’m on the verge of a breakdown and if it’s a bad day I’m just screaming and crying in pain. It’s been going on all year. I feel like I am numb and the only thing that reminds me I’m real is pain that always returns from the cramps I get. I’m so exhausted.
