I've been on my period for 4 weeks (thus far). I went to the er 8 days ago and was told I have a small pylope. my discharge papers say make a gyn appoinment in 1-2 days (impossable) my app is wed (13 days later). I have very large clots, very heavy bleeding at times other times its very watery (I leak and feel it runing when I stand, sit, sneeze or caugh). My legs feel tingling/numb. My lower back hurts constantly, stomach & pelvic pain come and go. I literally lay in bed all day (only get up to use bathroom). Ive been taking advil pm just to put me to sleep (it does nothing for the symptoms). My husband and best friend suggest I go to the er AGAIN (my gyn app mid next week). I really don't feel like doing nothing (getting out of bed, getting dressed, getting to er or sitting there all night for them to send me home (Johns Hopkins ER sucks). They are scaring me saying "your just going to lay there and bleed to death". My question is have anyone ever gone through this? What worked for you? Im kind of worried because they said see a gyn in 1-2 days (I got the soonest app). I just wanna lay down. Oh I've been considered a anemic before. Will a at home blood pressure cuff give me any signs that I should go back to er?

Hello,
You need to the ER. No matter how sucky it is, you are losing more blood than you're supposed to and it can have very serious consequences on your body. You already lost all your energy, I doubt that you were even eating - and your blood pressure is probably so low that you need to get at least glucose infusion. You'll get dehydrated and it will be even harder to do anything.
Use all the help you can get from your husband and your best friend and go to ER now because if this bleeding continues you will have to do it eventually. You might get completely exhausted way before gyn appointment.
Wish you all the best and hope you get through this
Nicole
