Forgot to mention fatigue and abdominal bloating. At time my stomach has swelled up to the point that I look pregnant and it usually goes back to normal by the next day.
Fatigue - I am sleeping every chance I get. When I get home from classes, I take a nap. On weekends I have taken naps up to 12 hours during the day.
I have been bleeding for 3 months! Im spotting throughout the whole month with awful periods once a month. I just went through a whole box of super tampons in a 24 hour period as well as a package of pads. I also noticed im getting some blood clots here and there, yesterday when i was in the shower i noticed something that looked like a huge blood clot that had been shredded came out while i was standing there. I was told about 7 years ago that i have an ovarian cyst, had 2 kids since then with no problem, and all the sudden a few months ago im getting all this painful bleeding. I called the hospital but ofcourse they can't give any advise and i was told to come into the emergency room, ill check back later as soon as i know something.
Well went to the hospital, had bloodwork, ultrasound, and pelvic exam done, come to find out i had a hormonal chemical imbalance, i was given a prescription to straighten my periods out, make you you take plenty of iron!
