Hi guys. I am new here but I am desperately looking for answers. Maybe not too much of an answer but help and someone that has been going through this. I am a 27 year old female who is over weight. I want to start off by saying that I do not think this is what is causing my problem. I started my period when I was 11 and I have abnormal periods for a good part of my life. At times they would be a regular thing and sometimes they would not be. More times then less they are irregular. I had my last son Sept 8, 2006. In November I had my tubes tied because we did not want anymore children. After I had them tied, my first period after it was really heavy and lasted for about a week or two. So heavy I would rush to the bathroom 3 times a night after I woke up in a deep sleep laying in a puddle of blood. I would leave a trail to the shower. Then they became normal. I have always had a 7 day long period. And they were 7 days after that first period that lasted for two weeks. I just chalked it up to it being because I just had my tubes tied. Fast forward to May 15th of this year. I started my period after not having it for 3 months. It was not a normal period though. I cramped bad and was losing golf ball sized clots. This lasted for over a month. It ended on June 17th after the dr gave me provera and I took it for a week. Then July 24th I again started my period. I thought my cycle was getting back to normal again but I was wrong. After about a month and week on my period the clots were getting bigger and bigger to the point that I would feel them when I was sitting there or felt them fall into the toilet. I would stand in the shower and they would fall and I would be bleeding so bad. The cramps were awful. I went to the ER because I did not have medical insurance and they did nothing for me but told me to see my OB/GYN. I was so sick at that point. Throwing up and dizzy and emotionally and physically drained. I was able to see my OB/GYN and was able to make a small payment. He gave me provera again and told me when I got back on insurance I can come in and see him and he will do an ultrasound. I stopped bleeding Sept 30th, I think due to the provera. I went to see him on wednesday and he just would not listen to me. He went on and on about my weight. blaming my 1 month and 2 month long period on that and only that. I tried to tell him that I was in pain and this was not normal for me. I have been over weight my whole life and never have I bleed for two months straight with large clots and was in pain. I tried to tell him I have tons of pressure in my lower part of my body. He just was dismissing my claims. He ordered an US on wednesday, but I think it was just because he wanted me to stop complaining and leave. I know there is something wrong with me. That is not normal to do what I did. The ER dismissed me also, and it really ticks me off because no one listens to my problem. It is a problem. I can not function on a period for two months. He told me he can't do anything for me. He said because of my weight I produce too much estrogen and the lining of my uterus is thick because of that and there is nothing he can do about it that I am the only one who can stop it by losing weight. There has to be something he can do. This is awful. I am aware that I am overweight, I am aware that I have an eating disorder, but do not blaim that for this health problem because I hurt all the time. Then today I went to the bathroom and I was spotting again and I am hurting even worse than before. Alot of cramping like I am in labor. (I would much rather go through that again then go through another one of them periods) I am taking pain pills that are taking some of the pain away. I made another appointment with another dr to get another opinion. One that wont blaim my weight on everything. I know this is long winded, but I have not been able to find a forum to ask about this. I just wanted to get it all out. I just feel like no one will help me. So if anyone would have any thoughts on this, please please please post. I just need to hear something. Thanks.
