I'm so sorry .Kia . Have you been to the doctor?

Dang im sorry. I wonder what would actually be causing your body to do this. Yea have you been to the doc yet??

I went a week ago and he said so longs as I don't feel ill or faint, don't have flooding or cramping then not to worry
but yeah my doc is a guy so go figure.
I'm gonna see if I can't get an apt with the gynae from the hospital tomorrow (monday).

Hey kia im fixing to pm you so check it in a minute pleaseee

I'm sorry, .Kia. periods are horrible in and of themselves, let alone a 16 day period and bleeding again so soon.

Your doctor sounds like a person. I hope you can get a female gyno. When I switched to an all female practice, it was like night and day. So different the way they treat you and how they know what clotting and flooding is like (which I have, in excess). My last doc was like, "um...You'll be fine."

keep seeing a different doctor until you get the answer.

Good luck!

lmao...
Yeah I noticed female doctors are more empathetic and they may actually try to investigate the cause instead of telling you "youll be fine"

Geez, that sucks and I thought my periods were long! Glad you're getting it checked out

Kia I am probably completely wrong aout this and forgive me if I am but didn't u have a hysterectomy when u had oliver to save your life?

Yes...
However, long story so i'll give you the short version.

After my "hysterectomy" I carried on having regular periods. Surgeon said I was making it up, even had his .S.H.O examine me while I was bleeding and she confirmed it, but he still said I was making it up.

Anyway 9 months after the fact (long complaints procedure) I got them finally to do an u/s and lo and behold there was my uterus!!!!!

So what did they remove???
Well I would have had a didelphic uterus if both sides had fully formed, they didn't.

So I ended up with a large unicornate uterus on one side and a connecting rudimentary horn on the other side.
Oliver was in the rudimentary horn (image a tiny uterus that isn't fully formed) and that was why the uterus he was in ruptured.

It was the rudimentary horn that they removed - leaving behind a large unicornate uterus or to quote the guy who did the u/s "a large, normal looking uterus".

I have had one hycosy since then and they "think" that the tube on the remaining side maybe be blocked or malformed or possibly just cramping or twisted as they didn't get any spill from the tube.
However, I have been pregnant in that side before - so we know it is possible (my first pregnancy was this side, as was my blighted ovum) we just don't know how possible.

So yes, technically I had a hysterectomy but I also have a uterus
i once said to steve maybe i'll be the first woman to have two hysterectomies.

It cant be good for your body to keep bleeding like this. Maybe u could see if your doctor thinks u should take iron tablets? Doesnt going on the pill help regulate periods? If I were u, i'd go on that, like just for a while till u get regular again and stop bleeding so much. Then come off it and start ttc again.

Wow kia that is fascinating. Aw well thats really good that u have a chance to have another baby.

I've got an appt in 25 mins (it's a 5 min walk to the surgery lol)

anyways - I can refuse to have an internal exam right??
Sorry for tmi but I really really don't want an internal while I am bleeding - or I at least want to have a proper gynae exam at the hospital.

I just don't want an internal done at the practise by my male doc lol

Great I need an answer and you all log off - come back lol

Hell yes u can refuse an internal kia! Its your body!




Would he wanna give u one while your bleeding anyway? ...Messy

Haha that's what I thought ewwwwww lol
but then they did that to me in the hospital so you know...

Oh...I would say no at the doctors surgery tho. If it was a specialist doctor at the hospital then fair enough, but what is a gp going to find.

Let us know how it goes

Lmao what fool didn't put all the clocks back???
Me - that's who lol d'uh
so yeah haha I just turned up an hour early for my appt got sent home again, i'll go back at the proper time lol

Good luck kia! Tell them to sort it out! We want a baby from you!

Lmao! Aw
