Ok, I have instructions from my friend the gyn reg. She's working nights at the moment, so didn't get my email until she got to work, so I called her there.
First instruction is to STOP TAKING THE PILL, at least until I have spoken to the nurses at the clinic tomorrow. If I stay stopped, fine, if not, I'm only taking one tablet a little late, and it's not as if I need to be concerned about lack of contraceptive effectiveness!
Second instruction is that I MUST CALL THE CLINIC. I must be assertive with the nurses and tell them I have a big problem here, and I've got the words of a gyn reg at a hospital to back me up! I need to enquire from them about the possibility of getting cyclocapron to make my blood clot and stop the bleeding. It's non-hormonal so shouldn't mess the IVF plans up.
Third instruction is that if it gets any worse GO TO HOSPITAL! :eek: I figured soaking through a super tampon (as in it was completely saturated and falling out) in about two and a half hours was getting pretty extreme. If I go through them in an hour or less, that's hospital time.
In a way, even though I've been told that "yes, this is something I need to worry about", I'm feeling much more relieved. Probably because I know I'm not just being irrational and silly about things. I'm already feeling a little dizzy and faint, but it's not just from blood loss, it's also from having myself worked up into such a state and not drinking enough today. I even went back to the highest dose of the ADs so that I KNOW I can get through that phone call tomorrow morning.
