Blood clots on period

5 replies

Hi, I'm 26 and gave birth exactly one year ago. Ive been having problems with bleeding between periods and other stuff which I'm under a dr for and being assessed. Sorry about TMI but I changed a tampon about 1 hour ago and though I needed a wee. I get upstairs and it's like a horror film down there. I take my tampon out and there's huge blood clots. Nothing on NHS is helpful and I've never had heavy periods before so thinking it could just be this. I stopped taking my pill on Saturday and due to start a new one this Saturday. Just looking for info/advice

Have you been investigated for fibroids? They can usually see these via ultrasound.
It's quite normal to pass a fibroid and it be like a bloodbath.
Hope you're ok

I'm due an ultrasound next month. Quick surprised how quickly I got one with covid backlog. I'm fine. Just a bit shaken since I've never seen anything like that since post birth and odd how it happens exactly one year after birth

I've got a bloody huge fibroid, and it causes severe pain and excessive clots. I can bounce on an exercise ball and move it to release what needs to through my cervix and the pain vanishes. I meet had period pain, one pad a day was enough. This is something else.

Am going for a review next week for sure very to remove it, it's 15cm.

Sorry have just been back on here and caught up.
Yes fibroids are just absolute hell, the pain, the bleeding - just eeuurrghhhhh!!!
I had some of mine removed (via laprascopic myemectomy) a couple of years ago. It was either that or a hysterectomy. I chose to preserve my fertility and go for the first option. They could remove all of them though so looks like I'll be having a hysterectomy within 10 years 😒
