I have been bleeding almost every day for the past 10 months. I have been to the Dr., and she cannot figure out what's going on. I've had numerous tests: Ultrasounds to rule out fibroids and ovarian cysts-okay. C-Peptide to test insulin saturation-okay. TSH to test my thyroid-it's okay. I've had tests for hormone/estrogen levels-they're normal. What is wrong with me? Let me give you some more details. In 2001, I had my first baby. In 2002, I started using Depo-provera for birth control. When I started approaching age 30, I was getting nervous about not seeing my periods (due to the D/P), so I switched to the Ortho Evra Patch. I still wasn't seeing my period... I was on OE for 9 months. I quit using B/C altogether. My periods slowly started coming back to normal, so I thought, in January 2005. I had normal cycles for Jan, Feb... totally skipped March, and then the flood gates opened in April. Since April 2005 I have bled consistently... heavy, bright red, large clots at first.
Well, a couple weeks ago, I thought this had ended. My period stopped for a little over a week. Then, just a couple days ago, my hubby and I started "fooling around". No actual intercourse... just hand stimulation. (We didn't have any condoms on hand, and we're not trying to conceive just yet.) Well, a few hours after climaxing from clitoral stimulation... I started bleeding... again! It's constant, thin, bright red... and heavy. I change the Super-Plus tampons every hour.
Can someone please help me help my doctor figure out what's going on?
Thank you!
