 Excessive Bleeding..
Hi all.. My story goes back a way, to when I was 16 and my life was turned upside down by a gazillion different things. I was soo stressed out and it was apparently at that point when my hormones went completely out of whack, I started gaining a lot of weight, and my periods stopped all together. It took a while to figure out that that was the beginning. But anyway, what happened was that I didn't get my period for about 2 years. Not even spotting, really. The doc gave me some pills for me to get my period, and I did 2 or 3 times, but then it went away again, of course. I took a 5 month vacation back to the "old country" and believe it or not, I felt soo good that I started to get my period and lose weight (what stress can do to you, huh?). When we came back to CA, my period continued for about 6 months, and then stopped again because my life went back to the stress-filled life that it was. I experienced occasional spotting and very, VERY light periods once in a while, but nothing solid. Looking back, I realize that this wasn't typical, but it was typical for me, so I didn't think much of it. Recently, though, I get spotting/light period once every month or 2, but then once I got such a heavy period and sooo much pelvic pain. I literally had to change my pad every hour, as it soaked through. Why does that happen? Again, my periods, my cycle used to be TOTALLY normal. I had zero problems.. no hairy chin, no irregular period or skipped periods, no pain (I never even had PMS), until then. GR! I just turned 23, and growing up causes you to pay more attention to the stuff that's going on with your body. So I'm wondering.. I know this isn't "typical," but does it happen to anyone else? Heavy, heavyy periods once in a while, between times of almost no period or a very light one?
Oh, and I forgot to mention.. Might be a little TMI, but there's also a lot of.. tissue? mucous? Lol, sorry! Really don't know which it is.. but its definitely there. It's only happened once.
