Really heavy bleeding TMI warning...

**nothing2lose** · January 26th, 2012, 02:53 PM

Sorry for the TMI but all day I have been bleeding really heavily. Constantly. The clots are huge and when I pass them I have to push them out. When I stand, blood kind of gushes out... I am guessing it is because of the progesterone and clexane I have been taking, combined with my usual heavy periods

My question is, am I right in assuming that AF bleeding is finite?? Once the uterine lining is gone, it's gone and the blood just can't keep coming iykwim????

I tried to ring my clinic but they closed early...

TIA

Yes, that is my understanding about AF too. If it continues to be heavy go to the hospital hun. Sounds very unusual. When was your t'fer day? Am just thinking heavy bleeding can be a luteal phase defect (ie: too short) and that can result in heavy bleeding. I hope you are ok hun ((hugs))

I would think so too. Last AF I could feel it gushing out literally when I was upright I figured because first month on fertility drugs of sorts. But and this is a biggy I didn't have clots.
This would worry me, I would be inclined to ring an on call nurse or local hospital.
Hope it settles down.

I had my transfer 12 days ago. I got AF yesterday so it was 14dpo.

I always have some clots due to the adenomyosis I have but they are just constant and some are the size of my palm. I will ring hospital if it gets worse.

Oh gosh how stressful N2L

. What about calling a nurse? Do they have a nurse hotline down there?

Thanks everyone. I might ring The Womens.

Do you feel an dizziness or more crampy than normal??
Why do these things always go haywire on a public holiday or a Sunday? :hugs:

Hard to feel dizzy when you haven't got off the couch all day

(except for loo)

Cramping is normal. Taking painkillers.

oh no, that doesn't sound right

If it doesn't slow down and/or you have any other symptoms you'd probably better get to hospital.

Hmm me thinks after being on lounge all day even getting up normally could induce dizziness in said person

Hopefully the women's can give you some advice but it doesn't sound right to me.

Hoping things have eased up for you.

Sorry n2l - I found mine was super heavy and very painful when I had bfn last transfer - i think you were the one that told me the progesterone does that - which was very comforting

The clots were so gross and I had to use night time pads and changed them do often it was gross.

I really am sorry it's so bad - on top of a bfn you get a yucky period which is so unfair - just to top it off.

Big hugs from everyone here - we all appreciate the support you give as you are always ready to support and answer questions. I do hope we are able to give you as much as you give us.
Look after yourself.
