endometriosis or ovarian cysts? Posted: 01-21-08 23:42pm
I am a 23 yr old mother of 2. My youngest
child is 19 months old. I used to have
regular, although super heavy) periods.
When my daughter was about 6 months old,
my periods started changing. I get
terrible mind consuming cramps, bad
headaches and I sleep a LOT during my
periods. The cramps are most often in my
lower left abdomen, the left side next to
my belly button and my lower back. The
strangest thing about my period though, is
that even though it is still REALLY heavy,
it's not even like blood. It's more like
water that rushes out of me and soaks
through tampon after tampon. It feels
like my water is breaking all over again
every time I have a period. I don't know
what it could be. It just baffles me
about the fluid. It's not a light
discharge, it's a full on flow. Clear
most of the time, tinged with the littlest
bit of pink. Anyone know what it could
be? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

I'd say it was possible, although I have
never heard a flow of clear fluid as a
symptom. Have you talked to your doctor
about it yet?

Flooding is definitely a symptom of
endometriosis but not clear watery fluid.
Still, there are enough symptoms there to
suggest endo. I would go and see a gyno!

You should definitely see a gyno to get
some tests and questions answered.
It also needs to be said that having
children WILL change your periods and
bleeding, it is simply a fact of life.
It could be nothing..
Usually ENDO does not just 'happen'. Most
women with ENDO will have problems as
YOUNG teenagers, around the time that they
first begin to have a period.
