Occasional Periods - how bad? (TMI alert!!)

[weegiemum]

I am prematurely menopausal at age 39 and have had 2 periods in the last year - the most recent one started this morning 5 months after the last one.

I'm passing huge clots, like the size of a plum, my mooncup is overflowing (before the menopause started I emptied it 3 times a day - I'm having to do it hourly at the moment!!)

Does anyone have any advice. I had traxenamic acid to take for heavy periods prior to the menopause and have taken that, but I'm not seeing much difference. The blood I am passing now doesn't look "period" like, but much more bright red.

I'm going to be OK, aren't I? My dh is a doctor but is in surgery so I can't reach him right now!!

If you are only having occasional periods then it is likely that when they come they might be heavy. However, it's worth seeing a GP and maybe having a scan of your uterus just to check all is okay.

Clots are not usually "clots" but tissue, so try not to worry.

I'm feeling really wobbly and have passed 2 clots abotu the size of a small apple - they both look a but like the sacs I passed when I had a m/c (no chance of that - my dh is almosy 7 years post vasectomy) but its not pleasant.

I'm not otherwise ill, am I? This is just the menopause? I feel rotten, so light headed and weird!

DH should be home inside an hour, I am very much looking forward to him being here!!
