heavy bleeding and severe pain

[Stuck_Indoors]

I miscarried on Christmas day and bled until 18th Jan, I’ve just began bleeding again yesterday and the flow is extremely heavy and painful. Any movement or turn in bed means I flood, I’ve been through 34 pads already since yesterday mid morning.

At the scan when I miscarried, I was told I have a fibroid and that for now they were going to focus on ensuring all was okay miscarriage/wise. I’ve heard nothing more about the fibroid.

I was sterilised 15 years ago but found out after 10 years it can become less effective - I had no idea.

I feel drained, physically and emotionally. I’ve always suffered with haemorrhagic cysts from age 14 and my mental health has taken a huge turn for the worse over the last 2 years in the lead up to my period and during my period. Life is a rollercoaster dependent on where in my cycle I am and I was rescued from the docks last year after an attempt to take my own life. My GP has me on anti depressants, and I’ve to go in to see her tomorrow. The pain is excruciating and bleeding is so so heavy, I’m worried and panicking and guess I’m looking for advice or support. My fiancé is brilliant but doesn’t really understand it all. Apologies if my post is a bit all over the place. Thank you for reading.

Hi. Very sorry to hear you had a miscarriage. If you are bleeding heavy, you may have a piece of placenta left inside after miscarriage. You really should either go to A &E or speak urgently to your GP. Wish you better soon

Yes, you need to see a doctor in ER asap. I think they should check your blood’s ability to clot. Tests like Prothrombin time, P.P.T., INR and platelet count should be assessed.

I think your C-reactive protein level should be measured to.

Maybe a CT-scan could help to.

I'm so sorry you are going through this, it's just not fair but please do not take your life as it will leave the people that love you devestated! Have you gone private at all? Yes it's expensive but it may be worth it, loosing that amount of blood really needs properly looked into. I had 3 fibroids and had a subtotal hysterectomy and all my complications went away, I would bleed with heavy periods but nothing to the extent of what you are going through, my the way I have realised that it is our responsibility to follow up with the docs especially if your going through an NHS GPS office. They will not chase you down anymore you have to do it as they are so backed up. I'm not sure where you live but the London Gynecolognicy clinic at great Portland hospital is good, my doc is Julie bowring but all the female docs are good there. I wish you luck 🙏❤️
