period lasting 26 days
Posted , 2 users are following.
hi everyone, im new here and i was wondering if anyone has maybe experenced this? i had my 3rd c-section 6 months ago, since giving birth my periods have been totally normal and right on time. i started my most recent period 2 weeks early and it has been very heavy with large fist sized clots. im not soaking up a pad a hour though..... every time i move i can feel the blood just gush ( I KNOW TMI ) also it feels like i have a barbed wire belt on.... this has been going on for 26 days. i am starting to get very tired and find it hard to sit at my desk and focus at work now. i have had blood work done, CT scans and ultra sounds done and cant find anything other then a cyst that they think was caused by the c section in my abdomin. it was not in any scans or ultra sounds before the section.
has anyone else gone through anything like this?

I hope they get this sorted for you soon honey I know how awful it is, I was soaking through about a pad an hour for three months after giving birth before I told my mum and she was so horrified she drove me to A&E where they prescribed some tablets that stopped the bleeding in just over a day, so getting to your GP is probably your best bet now and ask for something to control the bleeding. xxx It also might be worth going on the pill for a while so you are more in control of the bleeding. xx

Sometimes our bodies just do weird stuff but it would be great if you could get some answers. I was just told it was normal after giving birth (????) and that my body may have gotten confused and refused to stop which I absolutely don't believe but because I went on to have quite heavy periods after that (though no where near as long or as bad) I decided to go on the implant, and now I have no bleeding at all. However I did learn that all the women in my family on my mothers side tended to have nasty periods after giving birth so it could be genetic.
Whatever happens I wish you the best of luck, and I hope your ordeal will be over soon. And well done for being brave enough to post here, you never know it may just help someone else one day. x
