Horrible cramping and clots Posted: 02-03-08 14:04pm
Hey Y'all....I'm writing this with a
heating pad on my stomach...I'm having the
worst cramping in my entire life. I'm 25,
in good health, have very normal periods,
and very rarely experience cramps. When I
have had cramps in the past they were very
light and only lasted a couple of hours.
Last night... I was awakened by horrible
blindingly painful cramps. I went to the
restroom and realized that I had started,
I was not even expecting my period until
next Fri so that is also unusual. I took a
muscle relaxer but I was still unable to
get any sleep because the pain has been so
intense. I've been expirencing heavy
bleeding and this morning when I went to
the restroom and passed a very large clot
(sorry if TMI) like the size of lime. I
don't know what's going on or if I should
call the doctor or not. I had an annual
scheduled for Wens. which I guess I'll
have to cancle now because this period
came so early. Dose this sound dangerous
to y'all or should I just calm down and
not worry. Its just that I've never
experienced a heavy painful period like
this.

The cramps have subsided, but I'm still
bleeding pretty heavy. Any ideas why all
of this would happen just out of the blue?
Do y'all think it sounds like cysts?

It could, the symptoms do sound similar to
the symptoms of cysts. However, if it was
a cyst, it's not really dangerous, as long
as you're not losing too much blood.
A doc would find a cyst during your pelvic
exam if it hasn't gone away.

Thank you so much for responding. My
mother said that I could be having a
miscarriage although I doubt I was
pregnant, hubs and I have been using
condoms. In fact my app. on Wen. is a
consultation to have Paragaurd. My last
period was normal....light, no cramps, 4
days. Uggg I'v never felt like this
before...I will deffinately discuss this
with the Dr. Thank you again, I have been
very worried.

thats the 1st thing that came to my
mind..a miscarriage. but if u know that u
and ur husband have been using condoms
ever time.. then u can rule that out.
i had the same sort of thing happen to me
when i had a miscarriage. i had horribleee
cramps and i passed a clot but mine was
only about the size of like one of those
little cherry tomatos. it wasnt relle
small but it deff wasnt as big as urs..
idk i hope u get some answers from ur dr.
and keep us posted! =] go0d luck

Went to the doctor today and she said that
everything seemed normal and that she
would let me know what the pap results
were. Hmmm....oh well maybe I just
experienced a fluke heavy period? Anyways,
I also got all the information for
Paragaurd, and after pap comes back I'm
going to set up an appointment to have the
IUD inserted. This was not the best
day....horrible severe weather this
morning AND a trip to the gyno......hubs
better be extra sweet tonight!

Could be a fluke, or, hopefully it was a
fluke!
Good luck with the IUD!
Did you have tornadoes?

Thanks! There were uncomfirmed reports
near my house, but the majority of them
were in central-north Alabama, I live on
the Gulf Coast of Alabama. We had strong
winds, lightening, and hail.
