Questions about period

7 replies

WizzleWoo · 05/03/2009 09:13

Just wondered if anyone had any advice. My period has always been a 28 day cycle but can now be anything from 22 days to 31.
This month I started spotting on day 22, started full period on day 24 and then had a ten day period. I then had two days of nothing and have now started bleeding again, although only small amounts. Is this bleeding still my period or would this be classed as bleeding in between?
I have had various problems over the last couple of years and ended up having an ablation, which is supposed to stop them completely - but not in my case!
Do I need to see the dr or should I wait and see what happens? Thanks for any advice.

I would see the doctor. I don't know whether it would count as bleeding in between but I think it is worth getting it checked out with your GP.

I agree w/ FO. See a GP.

Suppose I should see the doctor but will have to wait until bleeding has stopped. Has now gone to dark blood so presume it is finally on its way out.
Thanks for the replies.

That sounds like me every single month but with a 31 to 37 day cycle. I've been told that I have polycystic ovaries - could this be the case with you?

Are there any other symptoms with that condition? I only have one ovary left anyway as one was removed due to growths on it. What is the treatment for that? Sorry dont know much about it!

Well after three days of no blood have now started to bleed again. This time it is fresh red blood with small clots in. Have made an appointment for Weds with dr but just wondered if anyone had any ideas.
Have read about cervical erosion - has anyone any experience of this?
Will be glad when I have seen the doctor so I can stop worrying about it!

WizzleWoo - My Mirena fell out today and I googled it and found an old post of yours - I have fibroids and got coil to control heavy bleeding. It obv hasn't worked! as giant clot pushed it out. I was supposed to have hysterectomy by 'early summer' but a mixup means it will now be Sept. Won't be soon enough! I am quite anaemic too. I am sorry your ablation didn't work perfectly - are you still considering hysterectomy? I have period every 2 weeks and first week VERY heavy. Nightmare! and now will be all summer. Charming!
