black discharge after prolonged period

Since my last post i've been to the doc, had a laparoscopy and a D&C to investigate the cause of my prologed period and the pain associated. Like you all i have also taken yasmin and missed pills at some stage... seems lke an odd thing to all have in common!

Doc found old endometriosis which is now inactive.. I'm not sure what that means. She thinks my pains are related to irritable bowl syndrome - it seems common that women who suffer from severe period pains are also suffering from ibs and don't realise as pain is so similar. But as for the bleeding mentioned.. doc thinks my system is in a state of shock from all the pills and the depot i have taken over the last few years. I have been pill/depot free since March but seemingly it takes a really long time to recover from the effects of them all.. well over 10 months. I hope this brings someoen else peace of mind!! If you're worried and bleeding won't stop maybe see you doc about a diff contraceptive method, i'll let you all know if mine dies down after my ops :-(

Holy cow- I am with the rest of you who say that they are glad to have found this site. It's truley scarey thinking about all the girl problems and how a lot of us feel like we are alone. I hope more medical research is done and more education is opened to all of us in the public about these types of things- I myself have had the black clotty blood near the end of my periods and think it may have something to do with the length of time between my periods (36 days usually)- Added to that, in the last 2 years I've had an light yellow discharge from my cervix, tightness in my abdominal area, and an abnormally high white blood cell count. I've been tested for gonorhea (i think thats how its spelt), clamidea, trichomonas, as well as HIV, and cervical cancer. Negatives on them all. I've had one ultrasound with nothing visable. So far, no one has had an answer and I've seen 5 doctors and 1 specialist. I almost wish one of them was positive so I could at least know what I was dealing with. I've been told not to worry and I should live with it and prescribed anti- depressants. I threw out the prescription though this thing had truley been a battle on my will. However, if enough people are asked enough questions, an answers got to come up somewhere. If anyone has anything to reply to this, I totally appreciate it. Good luck to everyone with finding out what you need to know.

Okay I have the same thing as all of you but different because I do have unprotected sex with my boyfriend we've been together for two years. Anyways on Saturday i started my period that day i had sex it hurt so then we quit. That same night I started not feeling too good. The next day I ran a temperature of 102.5 then i got it back to regular temp. I had side pain on my left side that was unbearable, night sweats then i started getting discoloration of my period blood, migraines, back pain, hot and cold flashes. I just turned 17. I ended up going to the hospital on the 21st, wednesday i had blood work done, a pelvic exam and swob for std's and blood count.
The blood work said that I am not pregnant *tear* , the blood count showed that my white blood count is high but it was 15% and I shouldn't worry about that. they gave me morphine while they checked me out cause of the pain pain in my side also in the pee test they found nothings. Im std free and the thing that worries me is ive been having irregular periods for 4 almost 5 months now. My flow is so light but when i look at the pad now its staight black when it went from pink to pink and brown, red and brown,red brown and black, then brown and black to BLACK i don't know if this is normal this all has happened for a lil over a week. I think that i can't get prego...im too young anyways and there's thousands of things wrong...also ive never taken depo but i haven't taken the pill in over a year!!!like many of you have so i don't get it help me out.

Ok well here is my problem I had a period not that long ago maybe at the most 2 weeks well last night i went to the bathroom and there was tons of dark i mean black blood in my pjs , to be honest i thought maybe I had passed gas and pooped myself not knowing, im being honest. So i didn't think anything of it i went to bed after cleanin myself well i got up this morning and the same thing ,,,dark stuff in my pant and when i whipped. I dont take a pill i have my clamped tide. So what can be going on with me. I notice my back hurts all the time and so don't my boobs they have been like this for month and even worse right before i start my period. I guess the only way ill find out anything is going to the doctors but if this is normal i really don't see any reason to go there. PLus its hard to get into my doctors office .. So any help with this would be great thank you

Seems to be a common problem on Yaz, I'm glad I found this site. I've been on Yaz for about 6 months and at first it was amazing. Periods used to be 16 days but Yaz has brought it down to 7 or 8. This month my acne is back big time (was totally gone for the last while) and my period should have stopped a week or so ago but I have thick black blood still constantly..I have to wear a pad constantly.. any ideas on what the deal with this is? Nothing excessive, but enough to gross me out and keep me from being sexually active. I havent missed any pills but this just wont stop. (Glad to see im not the only one with this issue). Any sort of guidance on this would be super!

Hi there
i have experienced similar problems myself .
currently i have the implant and have had it for about 10 months nearly all of that with no periods 3 weeks ago i started bleeding slightly off colour blood . i went my doctor after two weeks who just said it was a possible affect of the implant . she gave ,me some tablets(marvelon) to take to settle it down but said if i diddnt mind it might be better to just wait it out and see if it stoppe don its own accord. she did say that if it carried on for another 2 weeks to come back to be examined. for the past few days i have had thick tar like browny discharge . not enough to fill a tampon each day but still enough to be a bother. ive been really worried about the whole thing and ive been paranoid about cervical cancer!. i dont no what to do i want to take the tablets but if theres something wrong i dont want to make it even worse but pumping more hormones in to me!
help please! :$ :$

The same thing happend to me im starting to get really worried too. I am 13 and i don't have my period yet so im not sure if this is a sign that im getting my period or not. Please write back!

im not on b.c but have this thick black blood im curious because i just recently ended my period about a week ago and it just keeps coming idk what to do

My doctor told me the dark tar like discharge is dead blood cells. I wich I knew what is causing this. Its really disturbing to me when I have my cycle for 16 days already every  month.

Hi all, i was a bit scared before reading this thread but its really helpful.

Thank goodness I found you girls!!  I was on the patch for 8 years and then moved to Nuvo Ring.  When I moved I had ran out of my perscript for my ring so I had gotten my boy friend to bring it out with him when he moved.  Because he had left it in the truck and made a stop in the mountains, he left the ring in the truck and froze it.  I was advised not to use it.  So I was birth controll-less for around a month and a half.  During this time I experienced the black blood, and I recently got the Mirena placed in.  I have had it for two weeks and I have black blood everyday.  Its the worst!! But I do also experience it if I happen to get a yeast infection too, also gross....I am still meeting with my doctor to talk about it, see what she says.

 

Thank you all!!

Hello ladies,

I just wanted to mention that I have had this problem for some time now.  I have been ultrasounded internally and externally, tested for STD checked for endometriosis,(sorry if the spelling is in correct). Im going to a GYNY soon and will post any info I recieve. What I wanted you all to know, I have never taken any form of birth control. It appears there is a connection but I think that its just bc it's very common for women to be on it so naturally most of you see each others posts and start to think thats whats causing it. I don't believe it is but I will repost once Ive seen the doctor.

well i once had a period that lasted 6 months (seriously) noone knew what the problem was. one person said pcos, but ultra sounds showed nothing, i too have gotten a black tar like discharge, and i have been on the pill for years with no answers so hang in there,my doctor won't do antything so i am going to a women's clinic asap

Hi  I am 42 years now and I come from Africa  in 1988 when i was young i started my first periods and it didn't stop when it started in 1988. The floor was heavy and lumps only which melted on the pads. I could cough, or laugh because lumps of blood come out when ever did such actions.  It continued for more than 3 years. My parents took me to different Gyno and they gave me different medicines to take but they only reduced the floor not stop the periods. 

Then in the 4th year I met a gyno who had knew my family, I explained my problem to him and straight away I was admitted into the local hospital in Africa, he performed a D&C on and put me on contraception pill. Now that helped a lot as straight away I started having normal periods.  He told me to take contraception pill every 6 months. That means 6 months on 6 months off.

In 1993 I came to UK and I tried to stop taking  contraception pill for a year but the Pro-longed heavy periods came back after 9 months. Therefore, then I went back on taking contraception pill 3 months on and 6 month of.

 

After going through all this I thought I was not going to have any children but  last year I got married and  straight away I was blessed with a baby girly and she is now 15 months.  

Although after she was born I went back on a pill for 12 months but stopped last year in November 2012, then didn't have periods in December but This month in January 2013 the pro-longed heavy periods came back again, so I am thinking of going back on a pill. 

Just like most of you all I can't be bovered to go to my GP to tell them of my history as they either ignore me and just repeat the same medicines I have taken in past, and they don't even refer  me to any gyno. They tell me that they can;t put me on contraceptive pill because I have High Blood Pressure. I just ignore them and sign for it for 6 month treatment. 

I wish more research can be done so that our children could have normal periods. because like me I inherited it from my mother who suffered with pro-longed periods until she reached her menopause. 

 

 

 

I have the same problem. I thought it is normal since I just had a baby 13 months ago.
