Re: Always constipated and period irregular.
Yes you need the pelvic ultrasound to start off, and then perhaps a referral with a view to laparoscopy. Periods are only considered irregular if out by a weeks rather than days.

Re: vaginal pain
I would have a doctor take a look, and see if there is any local lesion as well as any other condition that could lead to referred pain in the area. If no obvious cause is found, this may respond to local injections or a medication taken at night such as amitriptyline.

Re: Unexplained primary fertility

Re: Unexplained primary fertility
The clinic will probably only repeat the virology, blood groups and semen analysis.

Re: periods & trying to get pregnant
To be on the safe side, perhaps your GP could refer you for a blood pregnancy test? If negative, and no periods for 6 months, you will need to be refered for hormone tests.

Re: difficulties conceiving
I would only add that a BMI is misleading, because you need at least 15% of your weight to be fat in order to produce estrogen in enough quantities. Now is a time in your life when you could afford to put a little weight on in a sensible way

Re: Pregnancy and IBD

Re: Increased iron,diappearing period?
I have heard a few women say this, that the Iron makes them bleed more or less, and it is hard to explain. I would get an ultrasound of your pelvis as this may discover a cause for your menorrhagia, and there are plenty of treatments available

Re: Neverending thrush
I agree, and would like to add that thrush is naturally carried in the bowel. It is important to treat your partner, and to use the cream to eradicate it from other sites on the body such as between the buttocks/groin folds/belly button and under your breasts. In case it is not thrush, ask a doctor ...
