I am sorry all of you are struggling with this too, but it is also a relief to know others understand. My periods were like clockwork my whole life. I hit 40. Last January I had no period, and then I have had my period for 8 months. It goes away for a few days (once it went away for 30 blessed days and I felt like a new creature!) but it comes back. Sometimes the clots are enormous and scary. Other times they look like seaweed...like lace or even like ink. Then sometimes the bleeding comes out in one gush, or it's copious amounts of thin red blood. Once during the worst season of it, matter came out as well that looked like Sea Coral made of flesh. It's like the constant unwelcome companion. I'm so tired of the crinkle of paper whilst unwrapping yet another super huge pad...or the chaffing from constantly wearing pads. Standing up and feeling like I wet myself, suspense and dread before each bathroom visit, weakness and fatigue, mood swings, becoming more withdrawn and isolated...it's all very difficult. I'm so sorry to those of you who have had this go on for years. May the Lord heal us all.
I had endometriosis it was a big part of my problem drs tried all the try this try thst before finally an exploratory surgery and later a laser surgery it may not be the problem but if it is your dr should be considering more invasive options . Im actually going tgrough this chat discussion bc my 18 yr old daughter has been blerding for over a year she has went to a gyn a few times and he gave her hormone pills and wished her well both times so i talked to our pcp who is sending ger to a specialist he mentioned possible surgery so naturally we're very concerned her problems and my history is just a bad combination im hoping to come across something to ease her and my mind mostly hers im gonna worry regardless but for her tge stress from worry alone can make any problem worse
I'm on a journey for weight loss to see if it does help this damn issue. I really do think that if by next year it's not sorted, I'll ask to have it removed. I'll be 30 by then.
