Dear Gambino- |

I am very encouraged to hear of another woman who is experiencing heavy bleeding and clots with NO PAIN! I am otherwise healthy; good weight, nutrition, fitness level. I have been practicing Natural Family Planning for over 10 years (as birth control pills give me chronic yeast infections and headaches). I am 38 years old and had a D&C four years ago to help alleviate bleeding. It helped for about 2 years and now I’m back to where I was. My Gyn at the time told me I had a “big, boggy” uterus (?). I just had a sonogram yesterday. The technician told me my uterine wall is 2X normal thickness, but ovaries looked good. Day 1 of my period is light-moderate. Day 2 is when I get slammed with incredible volume and clots that are up to half the size of my fist! During the day, I have to change overnight napkins every hour and feel a bit woozy (but hematocrit is borderline ok at last check). Day 3 is heavy but manageable. Day 4 & 5 are quite light by comparision. Through it all, I have no level of pain that can’t be managed with 2 advil. As my husband and I have chosen not to have any more children, I would really like to affect some change for myself! Would another D&C be wise? I don’t really want hormones or IUD (which my currecnt gyn offered as a possibility), and a hysterectomy seems extreme. I will be seeing my gyn soon to discuss results of the sonogram. I want to go in with as much info as possible. Any advice/info is greatly appreciated. |
