I'm not sure if I need to see my GP or not so am hoping for some advice.
As the thread title says, I had my 2nd baby 9.5 months ago, by ELCS. After about 3 months I started having very, very, heavy periods, which is something I am used to - I pretty much bleed so heavily I have to change pads every hour or not at all, both can last months.
Anyway, long story short, 4 weeks ago I went to my doc and she gave me a Depo Provera injection. My periods stopped almost instantly and I was starting to think that this might be what life is like for normal women.
The doctor did say that every so often I would have a slight bleed while on the injection, but this morning, I woke up with the worst period pain I have ever experienced, it kept going in waves and if I hadn't known better I would have thought I was in labour. I was in so much pain I almost called an ambulance. I tried painkillers but they didn't works, so eventually I had a bath, as a last resort.
Almost as soon as I got in the bath I passed two enormous clots, together the size of my fist, but they both contained quite a lot of white membrane and tissue.
I had an early MC 7 years ago, and this was totally different, so I don't think it was that. But I don't know what to do.
As soon as I passed them the pain subsided to a dull ache and has been pretty much the same since (this was about 8 hours ago).
My mum, an ex-midwife said it sounds like it could be retained placenta, but seriously, nearly 10 months later?
I don't know whether to bother my doc with it or whether it sounds like, for want of a better word, just a huge clear out and is normal.
Sorry for the TMI but can anyone advise if they have had similar experience?
Thanks
