So some of you may recall my posts complaining of spotting. Well- when I looked back at my FF data I realized I've been spotting/ bleeding for the past month (since Dec 14).

Well recently my spotting picked up to full flow and I thought I maybe there was an end in sight. But I've been (TMI!) soaking pads and cramping for the past 4 days (usually I would be done by now) but I fear that I will be going into day 5 with no change.

I saw my acupuncturist today and she did a treatment to try to stop it.

I even confided to my mom (she is awesome by the way ). She had a similar issue and her opinion was to was that a doctor would want to treat with hormones or a D&C.


Thoughts? Suggestions? Should I even be concerned? Maybe I'm just worried for nothing?

As always, thanks ladies :)


** Update**

Well I woke to hideous cramps but somehow made it out the door to DS's 2 yr checkup. I was there an hour. Came home, cramps were gone DS and I both took a nap and when I woke up my flow was down to pink tinge when I wipe.

So no, I did not make it to the doctor (I can't take DS with me bc children are only allowed in the waiting room)

SO my plan is to pray this is done but if it starts back up DH is gonna take some time to watch DS and I will call the doctor. (That is the only thing I don't like about my new doctor, is the kids only in the waiting room policy) but, it's better than the last asshole, so I'll take it.

Thanks for all the support :)









I'm waiting on the Dr's office to call me back. It started up again last night with cramps.

I don't know why I hate calling the doctor and I'm one of those people who could have their arm blown off and I would try to "tough it out" but this is impacting my gym schedule - not cool!

Oh and sorry for being a post whore with my bloody drama.

  • Hmm.. I want to say if it hasn't slowed/stopped by tomorrow, you should definitely check in with your Dr. I know your body can be wonky after a m/c but this sounds like something worth checking into :/ Sorry I don't have more advice! This is super frustrating, I hope it resolves soon.

  • I had a problem over the summer when we did some bloodwork.  RE wanted me to have a cycle just to do a refresher on my tests.  My period lasted 6 weeks. I finally called and went back in.  My estrogen levels were off (can't remember if they were too high or too low) and they had to give me a rX for that.  I took it for 5 days and my period finally went away.  It would get heavy, then light, spot, then get heavy again, it was miserable.

  • I agree. Call you doctor. I had this happen in August. It was my first pp period but it got so heavy. I was bleeding through pads every hour and passing huge clots. It was horrible. I went to 3 doctors who all just said wait it out. I asked for a birth control rx because in the past that has been know to stop it, but it didn't. I finally saw an RE who said that it was an estrogen issue. The bc I was on didn't have a high, constant dose of estrogen. He changed my bc rx and gave me estrodial on top of that. It stopped. Finally! It was horrible and now I keep a back up rx in case it happens again.

  • Yes, definitely call your doctor!  I had this happen to me.  18 days of heavy bleeding.  Hydrosonogram showed uterine polyps.  Once the polyps were removed, the bleeding became less heavy and eventually finally stopped.
    2nd ectopic resulted in loss of tube. HSG revealed remaining tube is "severely torqued".
    IVF #1: ER 03/29/10; ET 04/01/10: transferred 2 embies; Beta #1 (9dp3dt)- 45; Beta #2 (11dp3dt)- 91= BFP

    IVF #2: ER 06/20/12; ET 6/25/12: transferred 2 embies; Beta #1 on 7/5/12= BFN
    8/16: hysteroscopy for polyp removal
    11/11: hysteroscopy #2 for yet another polyp removal
    FET#2: ET 12/15/12: transferred 3 embies; Beta #1 (9dp5dt): 12/24/12: 426; Beta #2 (11dp5dt): 845= BFP
    u/s 1/9= triplets!; miscarried all three on 1/10/13...

  • Late to the question, but I hope you have called your doctor. I bled for a week after my D&C, then nothing for a week, then spotting for two more weeks. My OB said if the spotting would have gone on much longer I would have had to had an ultrasound to check for retained products of conception, or polyp or something.

    They're booked. Plus I needed some time to arrange childcare. That's the only thing about being a SAHM - we don't get sick days :)
