00:00So 2012 I started bleeding heavily. From then I was still bleeding even throughout pregnancies,
00:1120 to 30 pads a day, just constant. I had to have leggings on top, obviously a lot of cramping,
00:18clots. I was taking iron tablets, everything like that. So I just had enough, sat at the GP and said
00:23I can't go until this is sorted. Then got an appointment for a scan, that was eight weeks
00:29later. I then got a call from the hospital to say that I needed to go straight in for another biopsy.
00:36They'd done their biopsy and said they needed to have an operate to investigate more. So as soon
00:40as I come around they said it's one in a million, you know, women that have got two uterus. The
00:47left hand side has now failed, so there's not much they can do. They've been trying to investigate
00:52from other women, but obviously it's hard because it's mainly all in the States. Other women have
00:56got two uterus that has been found. They've had twins. First proper summer I can wear, you know,
01:03as and what I want without feeling like nervous going out. I can go swimming with the children
01:10and yeah, sleep happy. Anyone that's obviously having the same issues, a lot of bleeding and
01:16it's always best to get checked.
