very heavy period & abnormal clots Posted: 06-22-08 04:38am
hi,
i am 27 yrs old, recently married,
sexually active for ~10 months, birth
control for 1 yr ...
my last period was almost tramautizing ...
very heavy, started a week early (even
though I was regular with my pill), it
lasted 12 days (mine usually last 4-5) and
I passed an alarming amount of clots
within a couple of days (to the point
where they would overflow my pad) .... now
I am having a lot of tan colored mucousy
discharge .... Has anyone experienced
anything similar?
I have been regular since I was 14 ... so
this is very odd to me and somewhat
frightening ... is this normal or should I
get in to see my OBGYN asap?
According to your description you probably
have menorrhagia (prolonged and heavy
menstruation).
Why do you take contraceptive pills? For
contraception or for regulating the
periods?
