And like everyone says- please get checked out ASAP.<br /><br />(On the bleeding level, I do comiserate: when we dicided to cycle again I took Provera and it produced a 2 week long period that sounds pretty much like what you are describing. Bleeding through tampons and filling super-sized pads in like a hour, and the clots... Oy. But- it stopped. This continuation sure has me concerned for you!)ms. chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369055212101853503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753835.post-40501207244433974582010-11-17T13:26:58.900-05:002010-11-17T13:26:58.900-05:00In the past did your RE or your own doctor ever sa...In the past did your RE or your own doctor ever say anything about fibroids? My period used to be extremely heavy and required double protection and frequent changes (although not as extreme as yours) and it turns out I had several fibroids. Once they were removed, my period has returned to normal. Before that diagnosis my iron was low and I was put on elemental iron, rather than basic iron pills. The iron deficiency is definitely contributing to the fatigue.<br /><br />Definitely get hound your doctors office, or try and see your RE if you can. Don't let it linger.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03154636161249104743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753835.post-30611839404140503152010-11-17T12:08:33.826-05:002010-11-17T12:08:33.826-05:00Do you still have ins at any of the in-town clinic...Do you still have ins at any of the in-town clinics(I know the one I go to needs a GP referral if you haven't been there in over a year)?

Seriously.<br /><br />When I had bleeding like that my ob/gyn couldn't figure it out and he gave up. I called the RE and they couldn't find anything. He finally just scheduled a D&C to see if he could find anything and it turned out I had lots of polyps hiding in the back of my uterus. Once they were removed it was better.<br /><br />I will be praying for you. I know how much this SUCKS. Cancel everything and just take care of you.BigP's Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124157582246972372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753835.post-32162989271089283722010-11-16T16:59:01.459-05:002010-11-16T16:59:01.459-05:00I think it's time for emergency care, hon.

I know that if I can't see my GP and it was a bleeding/fertility issue, I'd call my RE and see if I can be seen.<br /><br />Either that or I'd do emergency room and/or urgent care.<br /><br />This sounds serious. Get it taken care of!<br /><br />xoxoSerenityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765237663006604157noreply@blogger.com
