Clotting Posted: 12-31-05 17:34pm
:( hello guys,
i have been having a problem for about 5
years now..With no help really from my
doctors.First thing is I was told I had
cervical cancer when I was 7 months prego
with my last child of 4 and after she was
born had it removed ect.. Well they said
they didn't want to do the hystorectomy
because I was so younge(21) .. Okay well
then came the major weight gain.. And i'm
talking 60 pounds in a year.. Along with
going for months with no period...This
went on for about 3 years till I got sick
of this and went back to doctor after not
having my period for almost a year.They
started to do tests and said I had a bulky
uterus and said my ovaries where slightly
bigger then normal.. But said I suffer
from pms lmao..Yea pms .. Okay which
brings me to date.. For the last year I
go months inbetween periods and when I do
get it..(like now) I have been bleading
since end of novemer and we are one day
away from jan.. And I have had big clots
coming out.. It feels like i'm giving
birth and for real have to push them out..
There is no way i'm preg cause I had
tubal done after the cancer cause they
said it was risky for me to have anymore..
More question is.. Should I get second
appimnion about the whole pms thing ..
And just how big is the "normal"
clotting...And if anyone else is having
these simptoms please I would love to
talk.... A little info about me is:
28 years old
4 kids (11,10,8,7)
iregular periods for over a year
with heavy clotting ( about the size of a
small piecse of liver)(and after pushing
it out blood gushes out)
thank for any help you guys can give
:shock:

I also have clotting and my doctors have
no clue why. Lately they have been very
big and I can feel them move...Often I
have to push them out too. Mine are also
the same size as yours. It concerms me
that this many come out each period...I
was told I have endometriosis. I dont
know if this is why I have the clotting or
not. I would love to find a cure for
this. The pain before each clot comes out
is very annoying and sometimes causes me
to double over. I often have to curl up
in a ball just to feel relief. Does
anyone know if theese clots are normal?
What is causing such huge things to come
out of me? Lol :oops:
need advice please :?:

The body's natural defense against heavy
bleeding is to form the clots. So your
body's must think your bleeding is more
heavy than normal, and it is trying to
stop the bleeding. That's why the first
girl says gush of blood follows the clots

When to Worry? Posted: 02-02-06 00:44am
I understand why the clots form but when
do you worry? I had them so big I could
barely walk. I am already anemic and have
been so weak I can barely do anything from
all the blood I am loosing.
My doctor said not to worry unless I am
still having them after 3 days. I feel
something more is wrong when you can not
leave home cause you have to run to the
bathroom every hour to pass a huge clot.
I don't think having them this size is
common. They are about as big as the
circle part of a aluminum can if not
bigger at times. I am sorry thats gross
but I dont know how else to explain them.
They hurt when they are being formed and
when they come out...Its really gross and
makes me feel like my insides are being
ripped out! Anyone with any other
information please let me know.
:oops:

No, I dont think very large clots are
something to be ignored. That just means
your body believes the bleeding is even
more worse than normal.
I would go see another .Dr or go to the
.Er if you are that weak, and especially
if you are anemic already.
