Tonight's my bad bleeding night

April 13, 2004

Hey,

This probably won't get posted until Wednesday AM but I'm having a

bleeding episode tonight and I just feel like writing. I walked to

our neighborhood business district for dinner and was feeling odd.

After we placed our order I felt like I was bleeding extra heavy, a

little odd for day 5 of my period.

I went to the bathroom to check and I passed some large clots and

noticed that the blood that was coming seemed like blood and not

menstrual blood. I stayed and ate most of my dinner but was feeling

kind of ill. I didn't have any extra protection with me so I was

walking on eggshells so to speak. I felt more bleeding coming on as

we were waiting to pay the check so I quickly left my guy behind and

walked home quickly, leaking some on the way.

I had to change clothes when I got home, I then took 500mg of vitamin

C, 2 iron with C tablets and I'm resting now with an ice pack over my

abdomen. I hope it settles down soon though I'm feeling a little

tired and spaced out (but that might be due in part to a hard day). I

didn't take any ibuprofen since I had a headache before dinner (not

normal for me) and I took 2 aspirin before we left.

From what I've read here I know that episodes can happen out of the

blue, but that one incident like this doesn't necessarily mean that

it is going to be a pattern. I have acupuncture in the AM and I'll

call my RE if the bleeding continues.

I'm glad for all the stories and hints that you all have shared so I

feel like I know what to do.

Talk to you later, I will let you know how I'm feeling tomorrow.

Ann
