:( greetings to one and all,

i was surfing the net and found this wonderful support. I am now 37 years old. I had a partial hysterectomy in 94; I only have my right ovary. At first, I did not have pms but within the last 3 years it has been horrible. I get the dehabilitating cramps (i always have had those), one of my doctors suspects endrometreosis.

During this last occurence of pms, I had breast tenderness, cramps, bloating, and bleeding! Yes, bleeding. I was freaked out! In the past few years I have experienced a discharge--yellowish in color. I was told that, thaat discharge was blood platelettes and when air hit s it, it turns yellowish. Well, this time it was dark reddish brown and the more I used the bathroom the more I had discovered that the blood was fresh and pink! What does this mean? I have had pain on my right side since the surgery that seems to be worsening. I get ovarian cysts all the time.

In fact, the reason for the partial was that I had a 9 pound fibroid pushing on my uterus and bladder. I leak urine and have experienced numerous bladder infections. From what I have been able to investigate, the doctor did not do a bladder tuck at the time of surgery. I wear panti-liners all the time and am very self-conscious about urine odor. I have accidents which are quite embarrassing.

Why would my body attempt to have a "normal" period after all these years? What is really happening? Why would I bleed now?
