Period tmi

[joenali]

I have a very heavy period right now from being on blood thinners. . I bled through three super tampons last night, all over the fucking place.

I called urgent care at 2am and they said i can go in and they can give me something to keep me from cramping and I guess make the period lighter? But I feel like as soon as I leave everything will be fine. I should go right?

[themysteriouswife]

I would call your on call PCP or hematologist. I was told for any heavy bleeding go to the ER not urgent care.

[vicky]

Go go go.

[renna]

I sent you a PM.

[bonquiqui]

I would go

[mom2twoboys]

Definitely go. I hope they can make it lighter for you.

Probably too late, now, but when I had periods that wouldn't end (not related to blood thinners, related to menopause) they put me on pitocin (I think; it was a few years ago. It was definitely a drug used during labor induction), which actually caused cramps, but quickly slowed/stopped the bleeding. I might go to an ER for that kind of bleeding, but I'd also follow up with PCP asap, too. Good luck!

I'm here. I already leaked through another super in the 25 minute drive here. Ughhh.

[joenali]

Just got a pelvic exam, getting Hormones to help stop the bleeding. Should be going home soon. Follow up with obgyn this week.

[mom2twoboys]

I am glad you went! Hope you feel better soon!

[mrsukyankee]

That's frightening. I hope it all works out for the best!

[Monica Geller]

Hope you're okay!

I am so sorry you're dealing with this. after my PE, I went to the gyn on the 3rd day after being discharged fom the hospital to get a mirena put in. This is exactly what I wanted to avoid. I cant recall how long you are going to be on blood thinners. I hope your gyn has a good solution for you.

[melmel48]

That sucks. I hope you feel better soon!

3 months. And then reevaluate from there with another ultrasound.

I'm glad that there's a plan. How is your energy level? ((((joenali)))) I'm sorry it was a rough day for you. I hope things can improve from here.

[whitemerlot]

That's awful.

Are you back at school yet? How is your mobility?

Kids come back September 9th, we go back Sept 1. My mobility is way better, but not perfect yet. I'm in PT twice a week. I have a note from the dr stating that I have to elevate my foot as needed. I don't want to get marked down if the principal comes in and I'm sitting down. To be honest, I'm a little afraid to go back to school.

I used to teach and I can understand how you feel. I hope you continue to improve.

I'm glad you have a little more time. Our schools are starting early this year.

I hope you feel better soon and this nightmare stops

My gyn said they don't like putting one on for such short periods of time. FX you get a good solution from yours. Hang in there!

I'm glad you went in. My periods alternate monthly from okay to horror movie. One of the questions my hematologist asks me every year when I see him deals with my flow and while can be high, it's not that high. It's one of those lovely little "side effects" they don't warn you about when you go on thinners.
