Background: I am in my early 30s and a smoker (thats quitting!) I have PMDD and have been over weight most of my life despite being an active person. I was fit as a kid but when I hit puberty I got fat really fast.

The Problem: It all started last summer when I missed my period for three months. I thought for sure I was pregnant. I had all the signs and symptoms from nausea to cravings, fatigue, mood swings and so on. I took dozens of pregnancy tests and they were all negative, including one by my regular doctor who has no idea whats going on with me.

At the end of the three months I went into something that felt like either a miscarriage or labor.The cramps were excruciatingly severe and my normal routine of ibuproferin didn't even touch the pain. I could feel my uterus moving before the pain started and during the cramping as well. I honestly thought it might have been a baby moving at first before the pains set in. I had the back pains and everything and then wound up expelling an apple sized mass of purple tissue with white-ish threaded lines across it. After that came out (which was horrifying) I bled heavily and freely almost like I was urinating for a few hours. The ER doctors were vague at best saying that it might have been a fibroid, they weren't sure.

After this I had three normal periods (during which time I did lose small lemon to grape sized pieces of tissue but nothing massive) and then went right back to skipping them again for two months. Now that my period has finally started it's been incredibly heavy soaking overnight pads within about 3 hours and has lasted nearly two weeks of bright red blood with no signs of stopping.There have been a few small grape sized pieces of tissue and not to sound gross but also mucus type blood discharge which is also dark or bright red.

I have absolutely no idea whats going on. My regular doctor says that it could be polycystic ovarian syndrome but I've had ultrasounds and save for one or maybe two cysts, nothing is abnormal. I also don't fit the small breast category or "masculinization" category thats listed as symptoms. I've also always had very heavy periods that have lasted one to one and a half weeks and sometimes they were about 35 or so days apart but they were always there I never skipped a period and never lost those pieces before. Also since I hit my late 20s and early 30s my periods seemed to get less intense and more regular in the last couple of years until now. I've always had typical symptoms of PMDD, especially in the mood swing area.

I've also wondered if it could be due to some kind of infection but I'm not sure. Both of the weird periods after the missed ones started after I started on antibiotics for other reasons (abcessed tooth and bronchitis respectively.) My husband isn't circumsized either so I wondered if maybe I was having some form of bacterial vaginosis from that which I have had before because of it. I just don't know if it could cause such severe symptoms.

If you have any idea what possibly might be going on I could use the help!!!View Thread

Abnormal bleeding for 8 weeks - Need advice

Posted by floridagirl38

I started having abnormal bleeding around July 1st. I had a normal period in April, but skipped May & June. When I started spotting in July, I thought good my period is starting and I can get back on track. Well that was just the beginning of my nitemare. The first 3 weeks of it was light. I always seemed to start bleeding on a Friday and by Tuesday of the following week it would stop, then resume again on Friday. I managed to make it to a Saturday one week and had intercourse, but about 30 minutes after, I started feeling a great deal of cramping. That's when the bleeding increased to a full-blown period. It has not stopped since. About a month ago I finally went to see my OBGYN and she put me back on birth control pills. I assumed it would stop it within a few days, and it just made it worse. I have been bleeding heavily and have had horrible cramps with huge blood clots. After being on the pills for a full pack, I called my doctor back and she said to start a pill taper. So I took 3 birth control pills a day for 3 days, 2 for 2 days and now back to 1 a day. It seemed to reduce the bleeding a little, but didn't stop it. Now that I'm back to one a day, the bleeding is picking up again. When I asked my OBGYN what she would do if that didn't work to stop the bleeding, and she said I'd have to have a D&C. I became upset when I heard that, because she has done NO testing. I went to see my primary care physician on Tuesday and she took blood for testing and is referring me to a new OBGYN next week. I am so scared, exhausted and upset from all of this I don't know what to do. I am pretty healthy other than have Hypothyriodism (which I've had for a very long time and is very well managed), so I have no clue what could be causing this. I was tested in January for PCOS and early menopause, and was negative for both. My mother had endometrial cancer at 49 and had to have a hysterectomy, so that is a worry. I am only 38 and have not had any children yet, but wanted to start trying to conceive next year. This is throwing a monkey wrench into all of my plans. Can anyone offer any advice?View Thread
