The last time I had a period was Dec. of 2005. 11 days ago I started to bleed, but not normalNormal saline flush from the start. I was pasting large blood clotsBlood clots, very dark. But no loose blood. As the days followed the clotsBlood clots continued, going from dark or brightBright beginnings red then followed by small amounts of loose brightBright beginnings red blood. Today the 11 day I'm flowing brightBright beginnings red blood in large amounts with very little dark blood clots. I'm fixing to leave town for a week and I'm starting to wonder if I should be worried ? At 1st I thought it was just cleaning out all the stuff that's built up over the past year, but now I'm not really sure. I have a sharp pain now and then but nothing unbarable.. Should I worry ?
You really need to get to a doctor, the emergency room even.. with that amount of clots, you are in peril of developing severe anemia or worse. Make sure you're drinking lots of water and get to the doctor asap.
p.s. I have no idea what it could be but what you're experiencing isn't normal or healthy.
I thought the same as you did, that its maybe cos u didnt have AF for a year, but I agree with the post above that you should see a dr ASAP, if u have to make an appointment maybe go to ER if you can. Do u know why u didnt have AF for a year? Let us know what the GP said
I agree with mrs canada on this one - what you are experiencing is not normal and your blood loss could lead to serious complications. Please see a doctor ASAP as its better to be safe than to be sorry.
