I have called the doc this a.m. I am waiting for a call back. i am hoping they order a CBC. I will let you know. Thanks for asking
Gm I am so very glad to hear back from you, your tiredness could be a combo of the
hypothyroidism ( a condition I share with you-) and from the heavy bleeding. You certainly do not want to become anemic. I take synthroid for my thyroid and have never had any problems I hope you get as lucky. I have read through chitchatnines, thyroid community and some have serious problems. I thus far have been lucky on that count...You bleeding that heavy is serious . Please Cassandra, dont let one more day go by. I am not trying to panic you I sure dont think its life threating. I think you have just what the doctor said a thick endometrial stripe , its very commonly first attempeted to be "healed" by a D&C,,not a horrible operation, rather easy out-patient one to two days of taking it easy perhaps a week of no heavy lifting and thats about it...My endocrinologist doubles in cardiology...But I get your point we are talking hormones from two different systems I agree with you, why not google it for your state, I am forever amazed at what I find on google. Please let me know how you make out at the docs as I will be thinking of you.
Just one thing if he trys to place you on Leupron , to stop your bleeding be aware 90% of my ladies that tried that had to discontinue. This med does stop the bleeding but the emotional side effects for most, not all, are extreme depression, crying jags etc...my own gyn told me he has had women come into the office crying begging to be take of said med.
have a great day...and I just know you will be fine((((Hugs to you))))) Cherie
I am scheduled to discuss my options with the doc in a few weeks. The past several days I have experienced heavy bleeding. I cramp then I feel a gush and my pad is nearly soaked. I have had several embarrassing accidents, such as getting up from my seat and there is blood on the back of my pants. I work at a hospital so i will call my doc in the morning to get in ASAP. I do feel tired all of the time. Not sure if it is from my thyroid or the bleeding. I started taking iron supplements this weekend. Thanks for getting back to me. I will definately post on the thyroid forum. I would love to find a gyno who specializes in endocrinology.
this would sound to me like somthing that yes you should do kegals, and also I am wondering why your doctor has not recommended a d&C simple procedure would get the extra tissue or enlargement out of your uterus. should stop irregular bleeding also.
We have a wondrful thyroid forum, i know the community leader she is fabulous , I would recommend you post yout thyroid questions there as it is her area of expertise.
Bleeding for 3 months is off the charts ridiculous are you bleeding constintly and hard? are you feelin tired possibly anemic?
