i have been spotting (i think thats what it is) since march 1st. i had a hysterectomy and a uterine fibroid tumor removal when i was 23. i was down to a 5.5 blood count and i had to have this surgery or the doctor said i would die within 3 months. ive been too embarassed to go to a doctor to talk to them about this. the blood starts off as being brown, then turns red, then acts like its quitting then goes back to being brown, red. etc. etc. ive been having cramps like im on a period and im just scared to death cause i also had a cyst on my right ovary when they did the surgery. they said everything was cleared up. and i didnt want children and this is one of the few times ive spotted like this, i dont have a period every month and im not pregnant since ive had a hysterectomy, ill have to ask the doctor what hysterectomy i had cause i dont remember what they did but when i went for a check up in my old town, the gynecologist said my cervix was still intact. ive had bad periods since i was 10 yrs old i mean they were so bad when i would sit on the floor i would saturate the carpet in complete blood and have blood clots coming out of me whenver i sneezed, cough, hiccuped or even when i was laying on a couch and sat up i would have blood clots coming out and the blood would feel like a river gushing out of me like how blood spurts out when u kinda feel it but dont realize it til u actually see it. i feel really embarassed cause i havent spotted since last year in february and in december of 2011.
