I will try to keep this brief but backstory relevant. Would be so grateful for any words of wisdom.
I'm in New York for work. I am experiencing a heavy bleed (mid-cycle). Yesterday it was so bad that I was bleeding through sanitary wear and trousers every hour. today I woke in pain and heavy bleeding - a big clot plopped out in the shower - like two fingers width & length.
bleeding all day & more clots but not so massive.
im panicking bc about 10 yrs ago i had some retained matter after an abortion but I was on holiday in a developing country, experienced crazy heavy bleeding, passed out & got taken to a hospital, had my womb scraped under general anaesthetic and lots of antibiotics. I think I nearly died- but didn’t ever really get full picture.
because of that I am finding this really scary and triggering. I don’t know if I need to go to hospital - could there be another infection?
I messed up my HRT - oestrogen gel & progesterone tables and I’m currently taking the progesterone at night but should I stop as not sure I’m taking it right.
i went to urgent care this morning - temp & heart rate fine. They said there was nothing more they could do and next step in treatment is A&E for ultrasound & bloods if I wanted to seek further treatment. I’m not sure if i should go?
I feel very very far from home & im panicking.
I think I am fine now (not dizzy like before - can’t decide if I am pale or not) but my fear is I go downhill overnight like last time and I can’t help myself. Last time it was my husband who got me help when I collapsed I but I’m alone here.
