Update -- I made it through the hip surgery, and although not being able to take my usual dose of Provera on the morning of the surgery gave me intense uterine cramping for a few days, it resolved with a return to using Aleve post op.
My period finally stopped after 35 days of bleeding, a new record for me ... Perimenopause is such a rollercoaster!
Thank you, Eve!
The frustrating thing is that right now I can't even take NSAIDs because I have to have surgery on my hip in less than 7 days ... but if my period is still going at it after the hip surgery I will take your advice and set up an appointment see my Gyn. I keep thinking that the period I have just suffered through was my last, and I keep getting disappointed!
Hi braveheart2,
I just finished reading your comments. I would suggest making an appointment with your family doctor. Twenty-seven days menstruating
can't be fun. I'm menopausal. Have been for two years already.
I'm a little older than you. Anyway, 27 days is almost a month.
I think it might be wise to make an appointment with your regular gp
just so you have an opportunity to ask your doctor questions and hopefully your doctor can tell you what's going on. I wish you the best, Eve :)
I do also have several large fibroids (submucosal, subserosal, and a huge pendunculated one located on the posterior wall) and an enlarged uterus that has pushed my bladder off to one side anteriorly and is compressing my rectum posteriorly, so perhaps with all that irregular surface area in the uterine lumen it just takes time for everything to drain out? I am so close to menopause and want to avoid having hysterectomy!
