Guest guest Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 Since 1998 I have had to rather strange occurrences, & I'm wondering has anyone else experienced these two problems. Period starts and ends and then spotting very light and Dark Brown, until next period starts. Prior to period starting horrible cramps almost like contractions and then HUGE clots expelled. Period stars normally. This happened to me in May of 1998 and again in May of 2000. Did not happen this May. No period for two months and then a very light period. Next period normal This has just recently started this year, My Fibroids never gave me a problem until 1998 when the May debacle started. I have one HEAVY day (changing Overnight pad every two hours and not sleeping through the night). I have an appt w/ an IR on Monady. Thanks to all who answer. --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 I can certainly agree. Period starts and very heavy for 5 days, then lighter for 2 days, slight brown discharge sometimes at end. This is OK, I have been told the brown discharge is just old blood left over. I would recommend you getting checked out regularly anyway to ensure you dont have an infection. I had heavy clotting for 3 months ago and then heamoragging, then I had a myo. 6 weeks ago. I have not had a period since the myo. Am Still waiting??? My periods have always been smack on time, every 28 days prior to my myo. Regards, Ali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 Thanks for the reply Ali! I should also mention, after the two May incedints (1998 & 2000) I went to my GYN who first thought in 1998 I had a ovulation problem due to my going to the South Pacific for a month. The second time it was just well it's the Fibroid it makes the cycle unpredictable! Dr's they gat paid for what. Oh well keeping my fingers crossed that I'm eligable for UFE Thanks verrier alison wrote: I can certainly agree.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 Sounds similiar to what I've been experiencing for the last year or so. How old are you? (I'm 46.) Also, in your other message you mention a possible change in the ovulation pattern due to a month in the South Pacific. My recent episode with lots of bleeding, huge clots, and cramps was right after returning from 3 weeks in Micronesia and I've been wondering if it was related (maybe even from the pressure difference from extended periods of long distance flights since they don't pressurize the cabins to sea level but instead to about 10,000 feet..... just thinking out loud here). I've got a tennis ball sized fibroid and have scheduled UAE for the end of August, but now all symptoms have ceased and I've had two normal periods. I'm pretty torn about what to do ... or rather, whether I should go back to 'watching and waiting.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
