I just got off my "cycle" and it was just
odd all the way around. First it was
early, then spotted for 1 day, stopped for
3, then it hit me hard, cycle normally
last 7 days with cramping only at the
beginning. But on day 6 cramping was so
hard I could barely stand and walk, was
bleeding heavily, was clotting real bad
and passed one almost golf ball sized
(very unusual for me). Then by day 8 or 9
it all stopped. 3 days after it stopped
(today) I had some light to moderate
spotting. And I can't help but wonder if
it was a miscarriage or something because
it was so unusual.
Anyone have any ideas what could be going
on. I had my tubes ties 5 years ago this
Oct. what the heck is going on.

A golf ball size clot, wow. That does
sound like something to be worried about,
but if you had your tubes tied, I dunno.
It could be just a really different cycle
due to stress and different hormone
levels. How old are you?

I'll be 28 on July. I had issues with my
cycle in July of last year but it was
different. I had a normal flow cycle that
lasted 1-1 1/2mths. Not large clots
(actually none). Got it taken care of and
been no problems since then. This current
cycle I have never ever been in.

Are you using BC or changed your BC? The
reason I asked your age is because some
changes can happen in the teen years and
the menopausal years, but you aren't in
either, so I'm guessing maybe a
miscarriage....you should go to the doctor
and get yourself checked out, especially
since you have had problems before.
Also if you just had a miscarriage, they
might be able to determine if you were
pregnant and had a miscarriage because
your hormone levels will still be up.

RebelCats,
Have you been to your gyn? You need to go.
You should tell your doctor about the
bleeding and the clot. Insist on a blood
test for pregnancy and ultrasound. This
could be a ectopic pregnancy. They are
difficult to diagnose and are infrequent
thus they are commonly misdiagnosed by
doctors.

No I am not taking any BC I had my tubes
tied almost 5 years ago.
I don't currently have a gyn. We don't
really have insurance and there are no
clinics around here, doctors refuse to
work with patients on payments and such.
I am not in anymore pain that stopped
after cycle day 7. And now the slight
bleeding I had early has stopped.

Plan B can mess up your cycle. Is it heavy
periods?

Well as of tonight I am bleeding again and
cramping. I went to take a shower and bam
its there. The cramping did not hit until
I got out of the shower. I have no idea
what the heck is happening. I am gonna go
in the morning and get a test and rule it
this is some pregnancy thing or not. After
that I have no idea what to do. Because
chances a re this bleeding will only last
a day or 2.

You should go see your doctor to rule out
fibroid tumors. They are benign tumors
that can cause clotting and excessive
bleeding (flooding). Trust me when I tell
you I know this.

Right now I am not bleeding heavy. Its a
little more than light spotting with
cramps but not a full blown period.
