Hi Poohbear ~ Me Too! I am in the process
of trying to figure this out with my gyno!
I went without a period almost 3 months...
had "fluttering" (mentioned on other
boards) feelings now and again and testing
for pregnancy was negative. Then out of
the blue had a heavy period with clotting
that lasted about 10-12 days. Then skipped
about a week or 10 days and period w/
clotting started again and hasn't
stopped!!!
After a trip to my
Dr. last week she is thinking "peri-meno"
but is running some tests and did another
pap.
One thing to be VERY careful of during
prolonged bleeding is your iron levels.
Mine 9 months ago (at last annual was 16 ~
last week I was barely hanging onto 10 ~
she told me most folks need transfusion
when they drop below 9) so she put me on
iron supplements + a multi vitamin with
strict iron rich diet!
I am getting really worried at this point
and am to return for re-check on the 11th.
One option she gave may be lo-dose birth
control pill which at 45 I am not anxious
to start.... will post again when I have
results next week.
