3 months to long for a period right?

Question

I had a D&C done Easter weekend of this year, I bled for 6 weeks after. My Obgyn put me on birthcontrol. He told me to take them back to back to eliminate my periods. I've been taking them and I've had a period for 3 months now. I went to my family doc last month and he didn't seem concerned at all. I stopped taking the pill after my pack was finished to try to have a normal period and get back on track. That hasn't worked. I made an appt with my Obgyn but I don't get in until Nov 19th!!! I'll probably bleed to death before then. Anyone go through this? If so what was your outcome?

Answer 1

I would go in I had the same thing and my Dr put me on something called Metformen and it worked. I would really get that checked out you may have something really wrong

Answer 2

My sister is going through the same thing. She's been bleeding for 4 straight months. They're tried bc pills, metformin, etc.. and nothing has worked. They have done ultrasounds, ct scans, and an mri along with the usual pap smear and can't find anything wrong. She's now anemic. My advice to you is to eat plenty of leafy greens and take an iron supplement if you can tolerate it, and try to cope. If you've had all the procedures my sister has, I guess all that's left is to wait it out unless you want to have the heat therapy. I don't remember the exact name of the procedure, but they've told my sis they'll try it in another month, they insert a balloon like thing into the uterus and fill it with hot saline, it sorta cauterizes things. However, it's not without side effects and can cause problems with future pregnancies.

Answer 3

My godmother went through almost the same thing. Her doctors kept putting her off too, then she really did almost bleed to death. She had to recieve some outrageous amount of donor blood at the hospital, and she should be sueing her docs. If your bleeding that much for that long id be worried. see another doctor or go to the hospital. I would demand something be done further by your doc rather than just waiting, its not worth what could happen.

Answer 4

I had a D & C done when i was 17 and also had the same problem with the bleeding not stopping. When I started to bleed excessively they put me on birth control and it did stop the bleeding for me. You should insist on some answers but you are not going to bleed to death. Just be patient and demand the answers you need. Good luck

Answer 5

First of all, you should see a woman OB, men might know all about the reproductive organs in a woman and how they work but they cannot know how you feel, they have never had a period or cramps or a baby. So switch to a woman OB. Second of all, if you have been bleeding for 3 months, something is definately up-get a second opinion.

Answer 6

nodont worry you wont bleed to death,almost exactly the same thing happened to my daughter a few years back,she bled for nearly a year non stop,it cleared up in the end
