Q: Vaginal Bleeding

Well I have now been bleeding quite heavlely for 11 days Doctor has not called back and have spiked a fever and have called doctor this morning. All he told me to do is not lift anything eat lots of stuff with iron in it and take some iron pills as well. Um I am doing this light headedness not to bad and fever not going above 39 but now doctor is on holidays until the 7 of august. I do not feel I should go in yet as everything is on a even plateau. Has anyone ever had this happen. Surgery when he comes back is for sure. Filling a pad in about 1 hour so it has lessened. Any suggestions of how to keep my iron up. If I lay down bleeding is not bad at all just when up right. A few smaller clots now but no large ones anymore.

I don't know... personally I'd be in the ER every single day until someone got that doctor back from getting a tan and fix me! I would never let myself suffer like that.

You look after your husband? Personally, if you're in this much pain it is he who should be looking after you. It is he who should be supporting you 100% in finding a quick solution to a very, very dangerous situation, even if it means he has to look after the kids.

I am relieved that your bleeding is lessening, though I'm still very concerned for you.

Eleven days is not bad. You're perfectly fine as far as that goes. I have PCOS and I have extremely HEAVY menstruation for almost a year at a time sometimes.

Yes. I often have golf ball sized clots (and sometimes larger) coming out. There is no need to panic, at least that is what it seems like you have been doing. My periods are far from normal. You're not going to die from it, many women bleed much more than that for longer periods of time and as long as they watch their diet and take it easy, they're fine (well, as fine as someone can be with that condition.)

I hope it gets taken care of and you find the source, but you really shouldn't be so panicked.

She was at one point filling 3 pads an hour and feeling dizzy due to the loss of blood; that is NOT normal and not healthy.

I can't even wear pads. They're a lost cause for the amount I bleed. I'm not saying it's normal, I was just telling her she shouldn't panic, she's not going to die over it.

Far be it from me to try to make someone feel better, I bleed enormous amounts when I'm menstruating, and my doctors say that as long as I take iron supps OR eat iron rich foods, I'm fine. I rarely get anemic. I do agree she should go to the doctor, but PANICKING ISN'T GOING TO HELP HER.

You know what? Forget what I said. Panic. Go around and panic and completely wig out. Have fun. Razz

She's not panicking, and she never was. You assume she was.

From reading her posts, she did seem panicky to me. Forget I said anything. I happen to know a quite lot about menstruation, including causes of menorrhagia, but screw this forum, you're all pretty damn childish here.
