I am a 28 year old married woman with 2
young children. I am overweight and that
has affected my periods, either they will
be more freqeunt or they will just not
show up, but this time is different. I am
bleeding, what feels like a lot, but
prolly not. Some clots, some of them have
been quite large, but this has been going
on for almost 4 weeks straight, no slowing
down, no stopping. I am not on any form of
birth control and in March and April I had
normal 7 day periods, this is the first
time that it has ever done this and I am
frustrated, and so is my husband. To make
matters even worse I do not have health
insurance. I had a miscarriage in November
2004 and in March 2005 I was still having
cycle problems the doc at the time gave me
a presciption for 10 days provera to take
if it didn't start on its own, it did, so
I never took it, still have it wondering
if I should try that or if that would make
it worse? Thanks for your help.

Hi Posted: 06-02-07 13:01pm
I would not take anyhting unless you have
first seen a Dr or nurse practioner. Can
you not go to a health clinic in your
area? Here's its abased on your income and
insurance or not, you could literally
bleed to death............You are probably
drained of energy and having to play wife
and Mommy can really get you down. You do
need to have this matter looked into,
because you may end up needing something
other than pills. My step-daughter ended
up having to go to the hospital and have a
DNC, just to get herself straightened out
and she was only 26. Not trying to fighten
you, just want you to know, insurance
should not be a factor when it comes to
your health. Ther are ways of paying for
things, but you need to take care of you,
because you have others depending on you!
Hope all goes well!

Thank you for that encouragement, I have
not checked into any clinics or anything
yet, I have gone to the med center for a
couple of things before and they will bill
me for the services and I can make
payments, but I don't think they can
provide me with the kind of care that I
need this time around. I am a little
tired, but no more than normal its seems,
to me the most frustrating thing its just
constantly feeling not clean and not being
able to have sex with my husband, we both
miss it very much!. It just strikes me as
odd, because in every other way I really
do feel fine, except for the bleeding.

Hey Sweetie, Please find a free clinic or
health dept. They have nurses there that
can refer you , if need be go to the ER.
Its a crying shame people who do not have
insurance or can't afford it, have ot sit
in the wings and suffer. I rainse my
daughter alone and we went years without
insurance.....You need ot tell them you
ahve been bellding for oever a month. At
least take a multivitamin to replace the
iron you are loosing! Hope you get over
this soon!

Same Problem Posted: 06-05-07 12:56pm
I am going through the same problem with
constant bleeding. Here's my story. I'm
5'3,23 yrs old, and weight about 240. My
periods have been irregular for the past 3
years or so. Earlier last year, my dr.
prescribed Provera as well. I took it and
it started. Then, from November 2006-May
8,2007, I did not have a period. Not one
drop! So from May 9 to May 18, I was on my
menstrual. Then, on May 26, it started
again. Today is June 5 and I am still
bleeding. Oh yeah my husband has been
pretty upset about this. I am
going to the dr on Friday to see what's
going on. Thanks for the info, Fairy
Godmother. I hope you can find help for
yourself, Kelli T.

Hello Posted: 06-11-07 21:25pm
Well same thing here, however I know what
my problem is. I have "Graves Disease". In
all of your blood test's make sure that
your thyroid is very carefully checked. I
went undiagnosed for years because
"graves" is the type of thyroid disease
that litterally flips back and forth where
one day it can show hypothyroid and the
next hyperthyroid and will also show as
normal. I have had a dozen Dr's in my
lifetime tell me that my problems are in
my head and now I am 29 and come to find
out that I have had this problem since
atleast 6th grade. ok - so long and short
of it anytype of thyroid disorder can mess
with your entire system. It is June 11th
now and our little issue is still going on
strong since April 28th. I have gotten
over the freaking out stage but only
because I know the root of the problem.
This might not be your problem but it's
worth checking out.

Well I went to the doctor this past Friday
and told her what's going on. She says
that since I am young and I already had my
thyroid checked out early last year, she
put me on birth control(NuvaRing). My
period stopped the same day I put it on.
Hallelujah! So hopefully this will
regulate me. My husband wants to have a
child soon but I want to make sure my
cycle is ok first.
