I also have a history of Fibroid tumors in which are suppose to shrink once the period stops. Anyway I got up this morning and it was not so bad no clots or anything.. I am still bleeding but not soaking my pads or clots.. I have been stressed all week and have a bad migrane headache too...


I didn't call the dr. back today like I said I have not soaked the pads.. Anyone have this problem also? I have always had my periods more on the light side. Maybe another time it was heavy. This is not fun.. englighten me please ... Sorry if I am to graphic.


Thanks!

I had that heavy bleeding when I started menopause. It was also because of a fibroid. I swear, I put all of the Tampon company's owners' children through college with the amount I used, along with pads.

I had 4 D&C's, which don't hurt at all. They would help for a while. I even had one in the gynecologist's office! I called it my drive-through D&C. I drove myself home! She was a Russian doctor and some of them have their own take on medicine.

Eventually, all that bleeding stopped and the fibroid shrunk. I don't even think it's there anymore at all.

I hope you don't have all of that. I had a bad case scenario, and I'm fine. I couldn't wait until the bleeding stopped though! I slept with two towels under me for a while. Gross....
