Why am I Bleeding so Much? I just took out the NuvaRing...a Posted: 03-02-06 15:22pm
I was on the Nuva Ring for a little over a
year and I took it to begin to try for a
baby. I removed the ring on Feb 1 and I
had a very light period on Feb 2-Feb 5. I
started a real period yesterday, March 2.
But i'm very concerned... Last night I
woke up in the middle of the night and I
was sopping wet in blood. I wore a super
plus tampon to bed and normally that is
more than enough to get me through the
night... I was only asleep for about 4
hours when I woke up. And I was laying in
a pool of blood. I was also passing some
big "clots" of blood.....I noticed a trend
that every time I would have a few minutes
of severe cramping, then I would pass what
i'm assuming is a clot. It was deep red,
almost looked black, and was like a little
ball of slimy blood. And another thing, do
you have to Ovulate in order to have a
period?
It seems that you are experiencing a kind
of hyper-menorrhea (large quantity of
menstruation blood). You must go
immediately to your gynecologist to
identify the cause for such a large flow
of menstrual blood. The myoma of the
uterus can cause such vaginal bleeding.
However, you will be required to perform a
colposcopy, Pap-smear and vaginal
ultrasound in order to establish the
proper diagnosis.
You must ovulate to have a real period.
Without ovulation there could be no period
or if there is a “period” that is not
a real period but false period
(pseudo-menstruation).
Pseudo-menstruations are usually irregular
and differ from real menstruations but
sometimes they can appear regularly and to
look very similar to real menstruations.
“Periods” without ovulations are
usually painless.
