My periods have been a bit all over the place for the past year. They changed to roughly a 21 day cycle and became really heavy with regular very small clots.
I had a period beginning of Feb and then nothing until end of April (not pregnant I was tested) normal period (heavy tiny clots, finished 4/5) but just about a week later I started very lightly bleeding (10/5) only really finding blood upon wiping with a few spots on the pad. This continued daily until 15/5 when it really kicked in heavy.
I rang my GP on 17/5 as I passed a large clot and she prescribed me transanmexic? Acid (aware that's not the correct name, I can't collect it until tomorrow) 18/5 a couple of reasonable size clots but onto today and I've passed 8/9 pretty sizeable clots and I can also feel the blood leaving my body I'm on that heavy. I can also smell quite a strong menstrual smell, it's the 'normal' smell just stronger which I'm assuming is because it's so heavy rather than any sort of infection?
I'm of the mind that perimenopause is just being her usual bitch self and I have zero interest in spending time in a&e! No temperature/fever and not much in the way of cramps/pain (I've certainly been worse in the past)
Am I right just to monitor it and start the medication tomorrow or am I missing something and I should seek medical advice urgently?
