Thread: AF problems..... maybe TMI

Hi ladies,

I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice.....

I have had AF hanging around for about 3 weeks now, but it's not a "proper" AF. Usually, I have 2 days of very heavy bleeding and really bad cramps and then it eases off and is usually gone within 5-7 days. This time round, it has been like a constant heavy discharge but with lots of small clots. It's not enough to wear a tampon, or even a towel, I've just been wearing a panty liner. On top of this, I have been having a lot of pain around my ovaries and some back pain.

It kind of reminds me of breakthrough bleeding, but whenever I have had that, I don't tend to get the pain as well.

Just wondered it anyone else had this problem?

hi

hope you feel better soon

Thanks for your replies

The spotting has stopped now, but the pain is still there! *sigh*

Steph - Yikes! bursting cysts! Saying that though, as we have so many as cysters, I guess they muct have to burst sometimes! Did your gyno say you needed any treatment or anything?

Christy - I'm sorry you are dealing with this too, I definately agree... pcos sucks!!

I hope you feel better soon too

I would go into your OBGYN or RE and ask for an internal u/s. You could have a large, thick build up of lining. I just had that. (no REAL period for 3 months) and now I am having the period from hell...

I had the same thing you are talking about. Dr just said I wasnt shedding the lining good enough....ugh, i am now...

I just got over an episode of that. However, my AF was not red at all. It was a very very dark brown and it lasted about three weeks. It never got red and it never got to a full flow.
