Hi, My name is Britt. I'm so sorry to hear you have been/ or may still be going through this. Your stories here are a bit like mine. I am 30 and this all started for me before my birthday. I was hanging with friend's all day. Around 4pm I got a funny feeling on my left side, above my hip area. I felt as I may start my period. It became hard walk due to the pain. After that the pain became worse. The next day Sat Nov 15, 2015 is when I started spotting. A pink brown spotting. That following Monday I went to the ER. I was told I had an infection.
The pain was bad that I was put on bed rest for 20 days. All the while spotting light. With maybe a day of nothing. I went back to the ER because I then started having chest pain. My heart was fine so I was sent home. It is now Jan 6th 2016, I now the same symptoms as you....with a heavy flow as of yeasterday. As with a drak spot on my thigh, and tingling feelings just beliw skin, on different parts of my stomach. I hope & pray you are well now. But I was wondering if you figured out what was causing this problem you? Please contact me if you can.
Thank you!

Six years later, my periods became heavier and started to have pain again. Had a cyst removed on the other side. Six years later my periods became heavier and started to have pain again. My hemoglobin also went down from 15 to 12 (I never had anything below 13 after my teratoma was removed). I went to my Gyn who sent me for a US. US found only a small cyst, not big enough to remove. Since my hemoglobin was low, I also went to my gastro for a check because I previously had bleeding ulcers. When he touched me he asked me about my latest GYN check. He felt something and he said -- it is not a cyst. He sent me for a CT Scan that showed that my teratoma grew back. Teratoma and other tissue based growths don't show on Ultrasounds. I had a 9 cm teratoma removed with the only ovary that I had functioning. I went into menopause in my 30s and went into HRT.
After a decade, my period came back -- it doesn't want to go away. Changes in medications have not taken it away.
Cervical biopsies and ultrasounds show nothing. I don't get why the GYN love Ultrasounds so much. I have told them I don't trust them as twice already I had growths that did not show in US, but they keep me sending to get Ultrasounds that find nothing. I have been in this for almost a year, and eventually they will find what's going on. Something I learned is that is not normal to bleed all the time, and it is also not normal to have pain with your period.

I had to undergo surgery to remove the cyst and fibroids, the uterine polyps were removed in the office visit. I had a whole year of regular, cramp-FREE periods after that.
Now, I think the uterine polyps have grown again because I have gone back to constant, clumpy periods. No cramps, though, so I'm grateful for that.
