Back from the ER...(super TMI)

Abc15379

So today the bleeding continued, but it got so bad at work that I freaked out. I bled through a tampon in less than an hour, and when I went to take it out, there were clots all over my hand, and even on the floor. I panicked and told my boss I wanted to go to the ER, and she said it was no problem.

I got there roughly 45 minutes later, and they gave me an exam. The doc was super sweet, but they basically told me there was nothing wrong. They made me pee in a cup, took some blood, and let me sit and wait for about an hour. They said the bloodwork was all normal, and I'm not pregnant(No shiit), and that it was just some irregular mid-cycle bleeding(Really?) 

They told me to drink lots of fluids, and take it easy. Also to call my doctor and see what she thinks. I get to pay a huge ER bill for a bunch of shiit I already knew. Great.

Bummer!  I am so sorry.  I especially hate when people talk to you like you're an idiot.

A that sucks!  I'm sorry they couldn't do more for you.  Have you spoken to your doc yet?

I know what you mean. I had to go into the ER after our M/C for pains in the abs and back(doc thought it might have been my appendix). And all it was was GERD from the M/C I just got the statement from my insurance...not good. Very expensive.

Man, that sux so bad! I really hope your doc can figure out what is going on and FIX it already!

karlybarly

Ugh that sucks so much. I hope that this all stops soon for you.

MrsMAF

I'm sorry...that totally sucks. Worst of all, you don't even have any explanation(at least not a good one) of what is going on!!!! UGH....hang in there, I hope the bleeding stops soon...

imaPrincess

omg, I'm sorry you're going through that and that's all they did for you!  You must have been so scared to see that, I know I would have probably fainted right there!  I hope that your doctor will be able to give you some better answers and that you are feeling better soon!!!

I'm sorry Abc that sucks major balls. Hopefully your doc can give you a real explanation.

I talked to my doc yesterday, and she just wants to go ahead with the cd21 testing, even though I am randomly bleeding. I called her office to let them know I was going to the ER, and they said they would pass the message along. Now I just have to call her in the morning and see if she wants to change the plan. I can't stand it anymore. 

There was some seemingly crazy woman crying and babbling in the waiting room, and a baby came in, and she LOST it, talking about how she can't have a baby. It was weird, but it made me cry too.

I am so sorry for all that you are going through!  I hope the bleeding stops soon - hopefully you can get some real answers and find out what's going on.

I'm not a Dr. or anything, but I used to have spells like this when I was first diagnosed with endo. Just a thought???

 GL with everything tomorrow! Keep us posted!

How did your doc reach this diagnosis? I have had tons of bloodwork, and two ultrasounds, and everything has come back normal. That's why I'm so confused.

baby#1hopeful

Abc...I am so sorry.  I can't even imagine what you are going through.  Hopefully they will figure it all out and have a solution soon.  I will be thinking of you.  Let us know how it all goes.

My Dr. suspected endo, and decided to do a laparascopy to confirm. Sure enough he was right. The good thing though is that during the lap, my Dr. excised the endo, and I haven't had any episodes like it since!

Well, color me dumb, cause I have no idea what any of that means, lol. I know my doc was thinking PCOS, but she ruled that out with my b/w and u/s. Now I'm not sure what she is thinking, although she did sound confused/concerned on the phone.

Well the laparascopy is basically just an exploratory surgery used for diagnostic purposes. You cannot see endo on an ultrasound which is why a lap is the only sure way to diagnose it.

 Hmm...so what should I do? Tell my doc to check? 

Rogue Lily

Sorry you had a scary day, ABC. I know it blows and you feel stupid when it turns out it's nothing, but you were totally right in going. Better to be safe than sorry. Hope the H takes care of you tonight and gives you snuggles.

Well, I would just wait and see what she has to say first. But I would definately do some research, and if you think this is something you might have, I would definately bring it up to her and see what she thinks.

lyse2143

Sorry ABC, that blows chunks. You know your body better than anyone so trust your instinct. Get answers from your doctor about this until you feel comfortable with the answers you're given. Something doesn't seem right.

sspyles

Huge bummer. So sorry you're going through this, chickie. I hope you and your dr figure out what's the deal.

Well,in all of my research so far, nothing else has come up regarding irregular/heavy bleeding. Maybe I will bring it up....that scares me though.

Sorry if you have covered this, but I had a ton of bleeding due to fibroids.  There is just too much TMI on it, but intense bleeding with chunks was part of what I went through. 

I was maybe 29 for my first surgery.  It came back and I had another surgery.  Took a bit over a year to get pregnant (I am awful at charting)-- but I have a 17 month old girl now.

It is scary and awful, but hopefully the symptoms look worse than the problem.  Best of luck.
