TMI- period
Okay lets preface this, I am 39 perimmenopausal woman with adenomyosis, lovely right. I already have extremely heavy periods. Today takes the cake. I am day 5 of my usual 8 to 13 day period. I usually have to wake up twice to clean up the overflow. I use pads and tampons at night. Preface is over.
This morning I pulled out my ultra tampon and wrapped around the top was the size of a grapefruit, jello like blob of jiggly blood clot. Blood instantly pours out and its a fast drip. I plug her up but every 2 hours I have to change it out until about an hour ago i had to change the ultra tampon. I had just switched it out, sat down got into a show for only 15 mins and I feel my waters breaking except I'm not pregnant, it's a gusher like pouring out of me and through my clothes. I get cleaned up, plug me up and slap a pad on. 30 minutes later, extreme pain nausea and dizziness followed by overflow, Niagara falls of menstrual blood with 4 to 5 inch blood clot thats triangular in shape is attached. Blood is just accumulating. i sit on the toilet and just let it fall out of me at that point. It finally has eased up some. But i'm worried for the next grapefruit sized blood clot that will come out of me tomorrow for i have at least another week of bleeding. Somehow I'm not anemic, and I do this monthly.
No, I know what you're going to say Go to the ER! Did that last month, was told it's normal for me with my conditions to bleed heavily. My labs were borderline almost low but not low enough. My gyno wants to put an IUD in me even though she knows my past history of blood clots that was caused by birth control. I'm not allowed to take any birth control anymore. I get that doctors deal with a lot of patients and can't remember everyone's history and that they weigh pros/cons.
I'm not sure why I'm putting this up here. I'm just frustrated because the medical community in my area. They're so conservative. And they rather just pump me full of birth control, instead of taking out my uterus, which is what I've been begging them to do since my periods began. I've had this heavy bleeding since I was 11. So for 28 motherfucking years month after month, I've been dealing with this bullshit. Why is it so hard just to get a hysterectomy?
