Ongoing bleeding for over 1 year now...

Hi i had my second baby february last year and i had a lot of complications after having him. I have been bleeding ever since i have had tableys operations cameras and they have found problems but still i continue to bleed and have pain . They are now sending me for a gyn to do a smear as they are causes of abnormal cells keep persisting with the doctors like i have and they have no choice but to keep trying . Bleeding all the time isnt normal get second opinions if your not happy . But there is hope keep trying .

Hi all,I'm 33 yrs old and have been in and out of gynae clinics drs offices hospital for 2 yrs with elongated periods extreme pain bloating with no real answers til.......my gynae dr said they seen that there were veins like varicose veins in my uterus but they didnt know what they were.I have been doing my own research and found there are pelvic congestion syndromes that fit the bill and am now getting tested for this particular condition

 

good luck to you all 

Omg. This thread started in 2007 and it is still going in 2013. I am sorry that I do not have better news. I am 35 years old, married fo 5 years, been with my hubby for 7 years and have no kids. I have been having long periods since I was 19 then when on the pill for the next 10 years. When I stopped my periods where about 1-3 months long. Then off for about 1-3 months' . If I tell a normal person that they would faint. Currently this is the longest I have been bleeding (8 months). I didn't go to the hospital because it would always lighten up like itwas going to stop......but I am old enough to know that this is a trick. So I ALWAYS WEAR A PAD/PANTIY LINER. I have my doctors appointment this Friday and was searching the web for info because I know the doctors have no clue. But after reading this blog it sounds like we are still searching for an answer too. PS. How many of with long periods have been on BC? I wonder if this is a side effect no one warned us about.

I am a twenty eight year old lady with the same problem of non stop bleeding and it has been two years.Its comforting to know that I am not alone.Life of having to wear a pad everyday is hell , my doctor recommended that i start taking the oral contraceptive pills but it seems they are only making it worse.Tests were done HIV , STIs you name it but my blood came out clean.

Is there anybody out there who can help?

 

 

I'm 19 years old and have been bleeding almost 2 years. I think I may go to the hospital tonight though because I have passed so many clots today and am in so much pain. Sometimes it lightens up and I can even go without a pad or tampon. But I found that if I'm not using a tampon I bleed a lot more. So of course I have been using tampons. I switched to pads this pastpast week just too see how bad I'm really bleeding. Definitely time for a hospital visit. It's so expensive though and I don't have insurance. So worried. Very depressed and tired all the time. But most of all I'm scared I won't be able to have kids.

Just the same I have been bleeding for a year now. The first few months were so weird because I had blood cloth bigger than a golf ball. The OB's diagnosis was thickening of the uteral wall. But as months passes it still didn't stop the blood clots became a little bit smaller though. There's no pain and the test shows no pollip, no cyst, no nothing. . . still they can't explain the bleeding. I would appreciate if anyone can enlighten me with my situation.

My goodness - I had no idea there was other women out there experiencing the same thing.  Going on my second month of bleeding.  Been bleeding and bloating since Xmas. The Dr suggested a Mirena but due to the side effect of weight gain - I dont need any further assistance with the weight gain. I'm also on tranexamic acid which has lightened the flow and clots (wooo) and the oral depo provera which has done nothing.  Taking zinc, magnesium, iron, b6 and still no better. I have done my ultrasounds & blood tests and nothing abnormal showed up.  Suppose the only winner out of this is the sanitary pad manufacturers.I'd like to know how you all cope with everyday life?? I know I cope and manage but for once, I would love to stop carrying these damn pads around with me everywhere I go.

I'm 24 years old and all of this started when I was 15. I had my period the first time and then did not have it for almost two years. When I was almost 17 I started bleeding again and bled for over a year (some days it was just spotting). When I was 17 I had horrible cramps one day and went to the emergency room. I went to many doctors and they did an ultrasound and a pap smear and everything was normal. They called it Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which I have come to understand is what they call it when they really don't know what is going on or how to fix it. I've been on many birth control pills and they controlled the bleding for the most part, but I stopped taking them because they made me gain a lot of weight and I felt like I was becoming more unhealthy than when I started those damn things. I've been bleeding for 6 months straight now and my period is heavy with large clots. I just want everyone to know that whatever the hell this is, we will get through this.

I am a 29 year old woman with the same ongoing issue. I have been bleeding now for a year and a half. The doctors are very hard to deal with where I live, and I have no family doctor, only the doctors at the hospital. When I was younger I was diagnosed with a cyst on my ovary, and it has been there ever since. The last time it was checked (about 2 years ago), my uterus had swollen and the cyst had grown some. I am absolutely terrified of having cancer as my mother had breast cancer and lupus and similar problems as I am having with bleeding. There are times that the bleeding is very very heavy with large blood clots and lining and I have gone through around 20 pads in one day. I need it to stop, and currently i am waiting on an ultrasound and gyno appointment. I am very scared! I wish I knew what was going on. The doctor also gave me birth control, but it was making me sick, tired and I started gaining weight. I hope you all find out what's wrong, and I hope the doctor can somehow help me this time. It is feeling hopeless at this point to me.

Have you guys tried progestron

Today is 08/09/2014, I have gone through the comments and am thankful for you all posting here. I am 21, I am a healthy vegan who is fat (and body positive,) with lifelong low iron and iron resistance, I also have PCOS. I had a natural miscarriage in 2012, and a few months later this FOREVER period started. I cry often because of it and am super tired all of the time. I have been put on Estrogen and different BC's, I have recently started getting dizzy spells where my eyes involuntarily roll to the back of my head and the room spins and spins, It makes me feel terrified and physically sick to my stomach. Sex is healthy, but happens maybe once every other month. My hormones are raging, and Life with this CONSTANT BLEEDING is Hard! I have an appt with a PCOS Clinic in 2 weeks, I am hoping we find Something out to change my life. If you find this thread, Know that you are not alone. Post your story and the date!

Also, Can we talk about the weird of clots that come out? Some are light pink, some are like 2 quarters big, Some are stringy, and some are like teeny tiny separate clumps. WHATS UP WITH THAT?! This may be unrelated, but I have recently become paranoid that the natural miscarriage could be incomplete and maybe THATS why I keep and keep and keep bleeding. I would like to know that's a possibility for any of you? I will ask my doctor in 2 weeks and continue to post through here.

I woke up one day and started bleeding and bled for over a year, I went to 17 doctors and started thinking it was never going to end. Finally a doctor put me on bc for 3 weeks, having me skip the forth week that would cause a period-for 6 months. At times I was taking up to 3 bc a day. The bleeding decreased but never went away. Then he went in and did a dnc and the bleeding finally stopped but now I have a irregular period. I don't know from month to month if I'm going to get a period or not.
I completely understand why your wife feels you would cheat because at the time I was dating and later found out that the man I was seeing actually cheated on me. He told me later he was frustrated with all the bleeding and the fact that we couldn't have a normal sex life. It ripped my heart out and our relationship was never the same. I would ask him if he would cheat and he always said no, he loved me. He just didn't love me enough.
I wish you and your wife the best and hope you find out what is causing this issue.

I also have been experiencing constant bleeding for over a year. It was ongoing for a year and the doctors ran blood tests multiple times as well as ultrasounds and everything was normal. I feel dizzy and very weak at times, and I try to take iron pills and supplements along with healthy food and nothing is changing it. I am a little overweight and I am very desperately trying to lose weight, but whenever I exercise I start to have cramps and bleed even worse. It makes me feel incredibly weak. I do very light exercise and I do push myself a little, but not much because I can't. I just want it to end! It's making me miserable. I find it hard to stand for long periods and the pain is really bad at times.

I am 24 years old and i started going through this at age 11. My periods have always been abnormal (bleed for a month then have no period for 2 or 3 months) my doctor told me i have a hormonal imbalance and put me on birth control at age 15 and everything was fine until i lost my insurance December 2011 and have bled consistently for a year and a half. I had ad and c 4 months ago and was told i had endometrial hyperplasia....i used progesterone for 3 months and then started spotting again. My doctor did a biopsy and everything came back normal so he put me back on the pill...i Took up to 3 a day and i am bleeding out of control again. This time the pain is so bad i can't even stand up...can barely walk. I am scheduled for another d and c but i have no idea why this is still on going...no mediation is working...all my tests are clear...and it won't stop. I would gladly choose a hysterectomy at this point but being 24 with no kids...he told me that's not even an option at this point.
