I'm 38 and full time mom of 6 year old and
3 year old. I have had irregular,
painful, clotting (along with passing
tissue), heavy periods for about a year
now. My periods last from 8 to 11
days....Ugh!
Late november I had a d&c, which did
not change a thing. Now, I sweat each
night (to the point that i'm soaked) for
about a week before my period starts.
That abruptly stops after I start. To
top that off (and this is really
embarassing), i've noticed this month that
I have a strong odor of ammonia coming
from my bleeding.
I don't know if i'm going through pre-men.
The women in my family never start
anything early so i'm pretty sure this
isn't the case. The ammonia odor has me
really thrown (and concerned) and i've not
heard of anything like this.
If anyone can shed some light on
this.......

Wow, i'd be concerned too. Have you been
to a doctor recently about this--either
your previous one or a new one? Not only
did your previous treatment fail to
resolve your problem and so you are right
to question whether you need more
followup, but the addition of the ammonia
odor obviously poses the question of
whether something more is happening now.
Maybe it's time for another round of
visits, with the starting point that you
have this problem that a d&c didn't
resolve.

I noticed an ammonia odor also,but I
realized it was the type of pads I was
using during my period.The odor was even
worse with the pads that have "baking
soda" in them.I tried about every brand of
pad until I found one that didn't cause
the odor.Sounds strange,i know,but I think
it has something to do with whatever the
pads are made of combined with my own
body chemistry.Try using the deodorant
pads.
