Help my period is wrecking my life
I 32F have been dealing with really bad periods my whole life. The week before my period my moods are so up and down. I can’t control any of my emotions, I feel depressed, I can’t sleep and I have a headache.
My period will start and instantly I will bleed through size 5 ultra over night pads within 2 hours the blood clots are size of golf balls. I can feel them coming out of me…
Nighttime I sleep with 3-4 nighttime over night pads and will have to change them half way through the night or sometimes I wake up soaked in my blood up all my back and my legs.
I miss 2-3 days of work every month (luckily my job is very understanding)
I’m so nauseous, I have diarrhea and I’ll vomit. I’m losing so much blood I’m so weak, I’ll sometimes pass out.
On top of all that my cramps are so bad I can barely move.
My periods are also soo long two weeks of every month :( sometimes they’ll last 30/50 days and I’ll have to go to the ER be put on medication to stop the bleeding.
I also have low iron, I am anemic and I have celiac disease.
After I had my son my period came back in 2 months and it lasted 67 days. This past January I had a 54 day period.
I’ve gone to my dr and she’s done nothing but offer prescribe me transanemic acid which is horrible it makes me sick the whole time I’m on my period.. I can’t win
I tried one BC pill and it was the same period I normally get and I had a lot of side effects that never went away so I stopped it after two months.
It’s affecting my life so bad :( I’m so over it
Hoping for any suggestions or ideas on why I’m suffering like this
