I had my meraina iud taken out after 2
years of being in and have been bleeding
for over a week filling pads today again
(after slowing for a day)in about 20 -40
mintues with clots as well and I have
cramoing straight a cross lower ab and a
sharp sharp pain on rt side low. I was
told that bleeding is normal. But am
wondering if it should be this long. I
am starting to get light head from the
loss of blood. Has this ever happened to
any one? I am to scared to go back to
hospital, as they released me last
thursday. When they took out the iud they
scartched my insides with a plastic
speculum. I am very uncomfortable. I am
on a very strong pain killer for my
damaged neck 75 mcg of fentanyl so should
not be feeling pain at all but am in
exgtreem pain. any insite would be great.

If at any time you are filling more than 2
or 3 pads in an hour you need to go to a
doctor, because this is too much bleeding
and you may become severely anemic, faint,
bleed to death, etc.
I think you are in great danger and need
to get to a hospital, even the emergency
room!

Does your doctor know how much you are
currently bleeding? Also does she know you
are feeling faint? You seriously might
want to call her and tell her that. Its
better to be safe than sorry....
yes my doctor does know how much I am
bleeding but I am in kind of a pickle as
they usually treat this kind of bleeding
with hormone threapy and I have had a PE
(clots in my lungs) so this kind of
treatment is not safe for me. I did call
my doctor today he told me to rest do not
lift anything or do anything just relax.
If bleeding same tomorrow call him in the
AM and he will do surgery i think a dandc
to try to stop bleeding. Has anyone ever
had one of these? I have gone to the
hospital last week for thiis and they
released me even though I was still
bleeding this way. I still have a great
amount of pain as well.

I know it sounds bad to say this, but I
hope that either the bleeding lessens or
you get the surgery, I'm really frightened
for you... Good luck.
thank you for caring it means a lot. As it
stands right now looks like surgery in the
morning but we will see. I will update you
tomorrow. If I not in hospital again.
