Hi ladies,
i just turned 50 and my periods are all over the place. The longest i have gone is 3 months without or a month . the last couple of months ive had heavy periods well the one im having right now beats all of them. last month had a vaginal ultrasound and an mri of the pelvic. should 2 - 1 cm cysts on the right side and a stable uterus, did blood work and was not anemic. so the end of may i started with spotting then stop and now im heavy bleeding with clots, its just horrible, laying in bec with light cramps did more blood work yesterday to see if im anemic and going to gyno on monday, This period is like parting of the red sea, i lay down and i dont want to get up. when will this end, i just want to stop flowing, plus my health anxiety does not help. has anyone else dealt with these kind of periods
I posted yesterday in response to a similar post as I too was looking for reassurance because of an apocalyptic period. I’m 52 and never missed before and only 3 weeks late but boy was it bad. I’ve always been heavy, then went through about 2 years of having to stay home heavy, then they eased off a bit for about 4 months to what I would call normal. But yesterday I felt so unwell with it too. Spent nearly all day on the loo with bad tum as well (all connected), sorry if TMI, then had to try and not to sleep too deeply as up every hour as well. Clots are disconcerting but I don’t have them too bad. Today I feel just about normal and flow has eased to very light. I think this is all normal really. Hang in there and I hope you feel better soon.
thank u so much for your response . day 3 of laying in bed and i just want to get out of bed without running to the bathroom like i got attacked by a shark
