HEAVY BLEEDING WITH LARGE BLOOD CLOTS!!!!!!!

You need to see your doctor, we can't tell you what is wrong, but something definitely is and you need to see a doctor ASAP.

i had heavy bleeding since i first started my period at 9 years old my gyn put me on birth control at 17 years old i took them till i was 25 years old then stop because i wanted to have kid for a whole year i didn't have a period when I turned 27 years old i started with normal periods with some time not having it for 3 months that is until now im 31 and just last month i stared with the heavy bleeding and then this month i now have huge blood clot the size of my fist and smaller i can't afford to go to the dr and i don't have health insurens. i have gone to the same gyn at 9 till 17 then i changed gyn when i turned 18 i went to them till just 3 years ago haven't been back since because they make me feel like im stupid or something so i don't know what to do so i looked up what i had going on and im kind glade im not the only one having this issues and hopefully i can find a gyn i can trust to tell me something other then im fat and that why i cant have kids but i really want at least one before i get to old. thank to all you lady that help me feel a little better about my issue !! hope we find something to fix this.

I am 45 and justify my heavy bleeding, on and off periods days apart and blood clots to probably going through menopause. Its real scarey when you have your period for 16 days straight with heavy bleeding and clots then it stops and starts 3 days later for  1 day with heavy bleeding and clots then stops for 2 days and then again the bleeding and clots....sometimes only 1 day sometimes longer. My doctor referred me to a gynacolagist and when I get in I will go back on this forum to let everyone know the outcome for anyone else that is suffering from the same thing.

Hi ladies. I am 20 years old and i have had nothing but the worst with periods and medications drs and needels. I have been in a relationship for nearly 4years now and 8months before my partner and i got together i stoped using contraception. In 4 years i have never been pregnant and havent used any birth control or protection. I have recently been dignosed with PCOS and i am trying to have a baby. I am on all sorts of medications to help me conceive and have been put on many others to try that have faild. I have always from the first time i ever got my period had irregular periods sometimes bleeding twice (two days) in the space of 3-4 months i could bleed for a month and not have any bleeding for another 2months or it would stop for 2days and id be bleeding again. Even so my bleeding had always been really really light have never been able to use tampons untill about 2months ago as my bleeding has always been light. Almost just spotting. In this month of april i have had my period twice already stoped for 2days and started and as i said i have never used tampons untill now. My periods in the last 2months have been rediculously heavy. Bleeding through a tampon a pad and my underwear and pants. I have had really big clots and its starting to freck me out because iv never gad clots or bleedibg like this before. I recently seen my gyni and he told me it was normal... Dont you hate when a "professional" tells you that its normal but you know in yourself and your gut tells you that something is not right. Grr. I feel really sorry for all you ladies with the same problems that i am suffering and i hope you all get a good docter that will help you out properly :)

no offense to anyone...but reading your post makes me even more afraid most f you are up in age and already have kids....I'm only 18!!! I would love to have kids o day...thing is I started my menstrual when I was 8 my gyn told me that was abnormal and started given me bcontrol for pain and heavy bleeding  It worked for a while that was 2 years ago now and my cycles only lasted 3days ...out of no where I have a normal cycle for a week then slight spotting...after my shower  I lay down to take a nap and It feels as if my water broke (really never exp. that) but I check and its loads of huge blood clots...So idk I pretty scared about my Dr. appt every woman ahead of me in my family has have to have hysterectomy's...Pray for me :( 

you are seriously disturbed and not informed.

I have problems like that too. Only it's always heavy and there's always clots, it's been that way since my very first period when I was 11, I am almost 27 now. I can't stand it, there's been times when I've had to sit on the toilet for close to an hour because it was just flowing right out of me like a trickling faucet. I use Assurance Briefs and I still sometimes have to change it quite often. It wouldn't be so bad but it's also very irregular, sometimes I won't have a period for two-three months, others I'll have it almost non stop for a couple weeks to a couple months with the occasional free day or two, sometimes a few days but then it starts right back up.

It's very frustrating especially in the summer because I love to swim but I'm always nervous to get in the water. Also I have to constantly be wearing the briefs because I never know when it will start up again, one minute I'll be fine and the next I'll feel a clot or something. I've tried to go to doctors but no one will do anything, I want to get everything removed (I'm VERY sure about that by the way, nothing to do with this) but not until I know what's causing it.

To be completely honest, it's probably PCOS related for 70-80 percent of the women that have posted. PCOS causes the endometrial lining to become thick (mostly because of our lack of ovulation and progesterone levels not being right) and so you'll bleed for a very long time. I've been going on 3 weeks. I've been through this before. The only time I had an okay period was when I was on the fertility drugs. I'm tempted to ask for them just to make my periods normal again. I'm hoping my doc okays it cause I'm losing my freaking mind.

I've been bleeding for 6 weeks. Heavy clots also. I do have pcos. The doctor has given me utovlan which stops it but as soon as I stop the tablets it returns with stomach cramps :( . I'm 33 and have 3 children all c sections. I've also had 8 miscarriages there's clearly an issue but she won't refer me to gynae. Anybody had this? I'm scared to sneeze cough wear anything other than black or generally move. The headaches and dizziness are rubbish too! Advice anyone??

I'm 32 years old and have 4 children. My periods have always been heavy but the last few months have been hell. I've been bleeding for 2 months and I just want it to stop. I have huge clots and painful cramps. A few minutes ago I went to use the restroom and about 5 HUGE clots fell on the floor. I haven't left the house in 2 months, I have no energy, I feel light headed and extremely weak. Thankfully I have a wonderful husband who is doing most of the cleaning/cooking. I don't even have enough energy to comb my hair most days. I have to use 2 pads and I still bleed through on the couch on the bed etc. I have terrible headaches and my heart beats fast sometimes. I've gained weight and have started to notice my hair on arms is falling out. I can't live like this anymore :( don't feel like myself. Please help!!!! Thanks <3

hey...my dad has same complaint :( asthma like symptoms and not tested properly. what are the symptoms of lunch cancer? how did you diagnose?

I too experience the same thing. I began my research as a student of holistic medicine. When the heavy bleeding starts begin taking VItamin K...if your not on blood thinners....than take as much as you can until you notice the bleeding slowing down. Also drink lots and lots of lemon water or if you can handle it organic apple cider vinegar in your water. Also add Desiccated Liver tablets and take 6 supplements to begin with until you notice a difference and than return to the normal dosage. More than likely its an hormonal issue and possibly fibroids..Begin to include zinc and selenium supplements into your diet and above all change your diet..No diary products and No Sugar...

All that I have read on this post has been my experience. My doctor just wanted to prescribe birth control pills and or perform a hysterectomy. I got tired of the side-effects of the birth control pills and did not want a hysterectomy. I began, as a student of holistic medicine, began to look at nutrition to help with this issue. It is a hormonal issue and also a times a fibroid and PCOS condition. In the stages of heavy bleeding I took Vitamin K supplement that had Vitamin D in it  in large dosages until the bleeding began to subside. I also drank large amounts of either lemon juice and or organic apple cider vinegear. I began to eliminate all diary and sugar products from my diet and white flour products. I began to daily take desiccated liver supplements in double the dosage until the bleeding subsided and than returned to the regularly recommended dosage. I also add Optimized Garlic Supplements from Life Extension along with Echnicea which is recommened by Dr. Agatha Thrash. The doctor I studied natural medicine with. All of it is about nutrition ladies....You can reduce the bleeding and begin to control the level of heaviness...Find a functional nutritionist in your area and or online...There is help.

I have had periods like this and I ended up going to three obgyns and all of them didnt do anything for me. I have tried several different doses of BC and it regulated my periods but they were extremely heavy still. It was hard to walk due to the clotting. I went off the pill and had beautifully light and regular periods for four months then stopped. I have yet to find something that helps. 

Hello I know your post was over a year ago but I was just wondering why you didn't seek help within the three months of you bleeding!? And why didn't the doctors hospitalize you?? Thanks Chutie
