wow! Did this make me pause!
I just found this board today, surfing around and trying to find out what's wrong with me sind my doc doesnt seem to care.
I've been a heavy bleeder since my 3rd child was born ( I've had 3 c sections.. sometimes wonder if that messed me up?) and it's getting worse by the month.
The last 3 months were horrible. This month was so bad that when I told my mom about the size of the clots she thought I was having a misscarriage instead of a period. One things for sure.. I was not pregnant. So I've been telling my doctor repeatedly about the clots, feeling weak and woozy, severe cramping and that I'm afraid to leave the house during my period because even with doubling up ( super tampons and pads) there's accidents from changing activities.... like sitting down to drive and then getting out of the car! Well he did a pelvic, then an ultrasound, told me I'm fine and put me on birthcontrol but other than gaining 30 lbs in 8 months, there was no result. Last appt. he said he thought I was exagerating about the " handsized clots"! What am I to do? Short of being gross and saving the evidence in a zippy bag? My husband is ready take me to the ER next period, he is scared b/c my mom had uterine cancer, but the doc says I'm fine... whatever that means, right?
It doesnt help that we're overseas and the military docs here are totally understaffed and overworked. Any thoughts?
SusiQ is a little panicked.
