Hiya everybody my last blood results for my graves things looked normal I feel better with in my self.. During the bad times in my graves hyper.. I had very light periods. Over the months they became whats normal for me. Well last month it lasted just the first half a day if that of my period I was rather heavy and had around 3 big clots then the period was normal for the rest of my cycle.. This month starts of the same but only 1 biggish clot up to now. Sorry if this is tmi.. Im just wondering if this has happened with any body else Im thinking it may just be my body getting periods again I do get a little scared with things like this and tend to over think I will be making a doctors appointment if this happens again next month. The rest of my period is normal just the first initial start of it I got these clots
It may be due to a hormonal imbalance. Your doc should be able to help with that.
I will go after this period is finished see what they say.
Like you jennifer,
My periods became more and more scant until i stopped having them altogether, i was under the impression like so many female sufferers of Graves that i was just heading for an early menopause.Although at 43 it would have been very early.
Once on meds things gradually returned to normal, i don't recall having any noticable clots, but thats not to say there were'nt any, and i do sometimes get the odd large clot, but i just put it down to fluctuations in hormones.
I think you are doing the right thing by keeping a close eye on this, sometimes things just need a bit of time to settle down again, but if it happens again i would go to the Doctors.It might be a good idea if the Doctor would do a full blood panel aswell just to keep an eye on your Iron levels and other Vit and mineral levels.
