I'm 31 5'2, 280 lbs and I've always had irregular periods.(Unless I'm on the b/c pill). I was told once that I have too much of one hormone, not enough of the other. Some times I'll go 3 months to 12 months without a period.I've had 4 full term healthy pregnancies. My question pertains to this: 9 months ago I was admitted to the hospital because my hemoglobin test was just around 80 due to a very long heavy period, I had been bleeding for a couple months straight but was passing tennis ball sized clots. The doctor did a vaginal ultrasound and found that I had a mass of blood matter that he described as "similar to a failed abortion" and it had to be removed via D&C. I didn't get a period until a few months later, since then I've had irregular heavy periods. The last one I had and this one are lasting more than a week (so far) with like I said big blood clots as frequent as every hour accompanied with the heavy bleeding. At times it will stop or so I think, then if I yell, cough or I get stressed out it will come back full force without warning! I don't even wear a pad anymore because it just leaks everywhere so I have to sit on a towel and not leave my house! DO you have any idea what's going on? Why the heavy bleeding so often? There is 0 % chance of pregnancy as I'm not sexually active. Do you think this is more than a hormone issue? I've thought about my weight being an issue too, BUT I haven't always been this 'obese'...do you recommend I go to the hospital again? I don't have a family doctor to follow my care. I'm feeling shaky and cold sometimes, dizzy, light headed, etc, the classic signs of anaemia. Thanks alot for your help...I really appreciate it.
