Right, I've got a GP appointment in three weeks and I am absolutely determined not to walk in there and go blank like last time. She asked how heavy my periods were and I just said "quite heavy" and she nodded and moved on and that was that. Quite heavy!! I had soaked through onto a chair at work, Siobhan. Quite heavy. So this time I want to actually have something written down. What did you lot track before yours? I've started noting down the days and roughly how much (light / medium / flooding, basically) but I don't know if that's enough. Should I be logging the fatigue too? Because honestly the tiredness is what's wrecking me more than anything. Last Thursday I sat in the car after the school run and genuinely could not make myself go inside. Just sat there. That feels like something a GP should know but I don't know how to say it without sounding dramatic. Also started trying to eat more iron-y things because someone mentioned it on here a while back. Lentil soup, bit of spinach, that kind of thing. Low effort because on the bad days cooking feels impossible. Not sure if it's doing anything yet. Any tips on what to actually bring to the appointment would be really appreciated x
