Thread: Tampon blues

[quote=yorkielass;18635]What i went through every month was awful the second and third day was worse and then would slowly get lighter till after 7 maybe 8 days i had finished.Like i said i was on super plus tampons and even a night time towel.I had lower pains all way through my period and blood clots that were so frightening.I went to see my doctor and i was sent for a scan they saw nothing with the gel on the tummy scan but they found it by internal.March 2005 i had one removed and fine for a while and it started again until December last year another was removed.I'm 45 and the last one was 6 days late and unusual and wondering if it's getting to that point now,i think i was age 11 when i started with them.

You say you haven't Fibroids,, well somethings making them heavy and i'd go for another talk to your doctor and tell her/him your not happy.Believe it or not i'm free from pain now and use just super size towels but i was like what your going through.

You take care

Hey Yorkielass-
WOW! OUCH! Thank you so very much for sharing in such detail and if I was too intrusive please forgive me. But I am still glad I asked you. We are about the same age, 40's. My cycle is never under 7 days now,(about 9-11 days on average). I too have pain at least the entire first half of it, but I have for years. I never got an explanation for it and resolved that maybe it's normal-for me. Strangely enough I rarely get any pre-cramps. The clot thing has been going on since last year, they were so alarming I thought I was having another miscarriage! I'm sorry to be so graphic, but they look like hunks of liver. Even so, you never know who else is reading this and they too might get some insite. I take my blessings where I can get them! You have been just that. Thanks again! Be Blessed!!!

I keep a small jar, like a sample jelly jar size, with just a little bit of coconut oil in it. You only need to use a little bit. It goes a long way.

And keep after your doc and don't be afraid to get a second opinion. Sounds like things might be more complicated for you.
