Thread: Abnormal "Cycle" (not the usual story.. I dont think)

Hi there, For a little background info first: I am 33, have had my tubes tied for almost 12 years, am not on birth control .Ever since I got my tubes tied my periods have been like clock work , I have cramped REALLY bad , especially the first day, and really heavy (really red).Never late, never missed. And my periods have ALWAYS lasted only 3 days , all my life (got my first one at 10).. The Problem: I did not have a period in August, then had it in September a few days after the usual date it should come.Normal Symptoms I usually have, and same length of cycle. No period in October. November 26th I started light spotting - that brownish color . Thinking ok, here it comes- gonna be bad since I missed a month.. No cramps at all (very very strange to me) . Then it seemed as if it really wasn't starting. But I was spotting off and on . Nothing on my clothes, just on the tissue paper. Well, here it is day 7 .. Still spotting - varies between the light pink and brown color , still nothing on clothes , just a lil on tissue . my left ovary area has felt "tender" Earlier today I went to the restroom because I was feeling weak,and the ovary area tenderness started . Nothing on my clothes, barely a spot on tissue, but looked in toilet and water was slightly pink. Now, not but an hour ago I went to the restroom and the toilet water was completely red , with dark red clots (or one big one, couldnt tell) - and still just smudging on tissue - nothing getting on my clothes. I've never had a "period" last this long , and it's beginning to worry me. I did take a pregnancy test back in August when I missed, which was negative- and Im not even sure if it would show up since my tubes are tied? I dont understand what could be going on . ANy ideas?? Thanks

Hormonious, Thanks for the info on that one matter . As for the pain in my ovary, it's not really "pain" per say , but more so of an uncomftorableness.. feels tender , and kind of like pressure on it - no stabbing pain or anything like that . Oh, and here's day ten and Still going on, except its not just spotting now .
