So I ended up in the ER

I posted the other day about my super heavy AF. After going to the dr about it Wednesday and the medication he put me on not really helping, I called back yesterday and they told me it'd be best to go to the ER. Ugh. They did more bloodwork, I had a very painful pelvic exam, an allover exam, etc. They spoke back and forth with two of the ob's at my drs office and decided, based on the results they saw, to wait until Monday for the ultrasound at my ob's office and to double up on the medication. Luckily I already am seeing the bleeding lighten up and I'm glad I went to the hospital bc I'm sure I'd have just spent all weekend worrying about it. Just hoping that kind of bleeding isn't the new norm for me! Going through a tampon or pad every 30 to 60 minutes is a major pain. They did say I'm slightly anemic again I became anemic after delivery bc I lost so much blood and required a transfusion in the hospital but that considering how much blood I've list this week it's actually an ok level.

Let the weekend now begin!

Ugh.  Sorry you had to go through that, but glad you're ok.  I hope by Monday things are even better and your ultrasound is uneventful.  Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

That's terrible. My first two were like that but my first one came back at 28 days pp so I didn't realize it was my period. I thought I'd hurt myself. Pretty much figured it out again 28 days after that one. Make sure you're taking extra iron. Hope you feel better.

I read your post earlier this week, glad its finally lightening up and I agree hopefully not your new norm!!!

Hope you feel better soon!  Somehow I have only gotten 2 real periods pp... I guess things can go wonky after giving birth.  Hopefully everything is good on the ultrasound.

Glad that you went to the ER. In my case, the few periods after my episode were still very heavy, but it got lighter and lighter with each month that passed. GL to you!

Glad you're ok and hope your US is uneventful! My first period pp scared the crap out of me with the amount I was bleeding, but ERs scare me more so I told myself it was normal lol They have been getting lighter each time now.
