V heavy period. Concern? Or aibu? TMI warning

[fattygettingthin]

Sorry for using aibu. I need some advice, I don't have a GP at the moment and I'm wondering if this can wait until I can register when we've moved?

My period is so heavy, I've got pain in my abdomen, thighs and shoulder. I'm definitely not pregnant as I did a test last week but so far today I've saturated a cheap reusable pad, to my clothes, had to buy new underwear and jeans and i bought 3 packs of normal pads. I've saturated 4 night time pads since 4pm today, I had to come home from our lovely night out early as I just felt so Unclean and in a lot of discomfort.

Iv had a bath and that usually stops the bleeding for a bit but it didn't this time and when I got in it looked like a massacre!

Aibu? Should I just ride it out and see if I can register with a GP ASAP or does this need something sooner than next period?

Thanks

It will be good to get home - sleep, potter, TLC is what you need.

It is a huge shock and will knock you back. Then there is the GA (I usually find I need a week just to get over the anaesthetic, never mind anything else). Then there is the hormone mess and making sense of what you have had done and what it means for you.

It will take time.

Everyone here is glad you posted too. Hopefully your posts will also help others who read them.

Take carex

So glad you got the help you needed. Please ase do not blame your weight or any part of yourself. Time to focus on recovery and your health. X

You poor thing! It will be better to be home, I think - you'll get more unbroken sleep which will help you a lot, and proper healthy food. Can your DH take tomorrow and Friday off to mind you, or do you have a Mum or friend?

Home! Feeling bloody sore! My mum is staying until the weekend and DH is getting some time off after she goes home. This couldn't have happened at a worse time, we move house in 2 weeks and I can't lift anything heavier than a kettle. I've got some movicol and some heavy duty pain killers and a blood thinning injection every day :(

My mum said I need to get up and walking so I managed a 5 minute walk round the garden before I felt sweaty and faint. Is this normal?

On a different note- how do you find a good dog walker? Our dog needs walking for at least an hour a day and there is absolutely no way I could do that for the next few weeks but I'm so worried about him not coming back for them! How do you trust someone to listen to you and not let him off the lead even if he's behaving amazingly? He has a stupidly high prey drive and just runs and goes completely deaf...

I googled dog walker and read reviews. Maybe ask your vet for recommendations? You will feel faint etc if you lost lots of blood. Take it easy. If you’re near Worcestershire I can recommend bloody brilliant moving and packing company who are very reasonable! Any chance you can just pay people to pack and remove, even if you have to take small loan?

I got my dog walker from our community website. Just posted and asked if they knew anyone.
Call on friends and relatives to help with packing. People will want to help. If they offer have ready a little list of jobs they can do. Even if it’s just packing up one cupboard.
It is normal to feel sweaty and faint after this experience. You have lost lots of blood and may be a bit anaemic. Good nutrition, rest and fluids will help that correct itself. 💐

Glad you're home. Yes it's normal to feel like that, your body has had a massive ordeal!

What nightmare timing, you will need to take it easy though, you need to recover.

Have you looked at borrow my dog? My friend uses it as she now lives too far from her office to nip hom at lunch to walk her dog. She says it's great.

Glad you're home.
Im pretty sure that's normal too. Just go slowly.

I think your recovery sounds about right and will hopefully get a tiny bit easier each day.

Do you have a dog grooming parlour/day care place where you are? I give my dog to them once a week as I k ow for a fact they walk every kind of dog so understand the behaviour on a lead can be misleading!!

If not, can you post on fab for tried and tested recommendations?

Good luck.

@fattygettingthin how are you? X

@bluemascara I'm getting there thanks. We've had our completion date for moving and it's 2 weeks away so it's not happened at the right time :( I'm
So sore! And cant do anything to help!

Can the movers pack for you instead? Didn't cost anywhere near as much as we thought. Hope you feel better soon, couldn't believe how this thread went!

We had to pay the movers to pack for us once when DH was recovering from surgery. It wasn’t as much as you’d think and they were frighteningly efficient.

We’ve had movers pack several times.

Go out for afternoon tea with your mum and come back to a packed house. It’s completely painless.

Hope u are ok op? U also probably need some iron after loosing so much blood? Xx

All the best hope you're feeling somewhat better 💐

I did have a transfusion at hospital but I might ask if I can have another blood test as I really am exhausted and I get very sweaty and pale after going upstairs.

I think I've persuaded DH to get packers in. Thank god!

Oh my goodness, op! I am so SO happy you're going to be alright. I lost a close family friend to an ectopic pregnancy when she was 31, and it was just devastating. Your husband must be so grateful that you sought help. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
