Perimenopause 49 :: Excessive Bleeding
Jun 27, 2015
I am 49 years old. My periods started becoming a irregular a few years ago. They started coming later and lasting longer. Then I started skipping a month and then they would last three weeks.I went six months without a period.when I finally got one that lasted for weeks. The first three weeks it was moderate. Then I was going through super tampons and pads hourly. I was searching the net for explanations and ways to make the bleeding stop. What I found was that the excessive bleeding could be due to anemia from all of the bleeding. I started taking 27 mg of iron with 100 mg of vitamin C with each dose. Multi vitamin B and fish oil. The bleeding stopped within two days I did this for two periods now and it's worked.there's no rhyme or reason for this to work but it does I made an appointment with my GP. She said welcome to perimenopause. I am going for an ultrasound just to make sure nothing else is going on. BTW, I am also a nurse.

I am 47 years old and went through the hot flashes 3 years ago along with emotional highs and very lows. On November 18 I started my period and 39 days of very heavy bleeding with clots, gusting at times, soaking through 2 maxi pads put together within half an hour. I went to the ER cause I fainted and they said I was anemic so I started on vitamins and iron which now are making me constipated. What hell. How come no one ever told me about this? I am so glad I found this site and other women who are going through this. I finally stopped 2 days ago but feel like I am fixing to start again. My poor husband has been supportive but I know he is getting annoyed but not as much as I am. How long can this last? I will definitely inform my daughter of this and was wondering if there was a support group anywhere? Wish me luck...and yes I am seeing a OBGYN on Monday. Any advice on natural remedies?

Excessive bleeding after tubal?
I am 25 years old and had my tubes tied in February during surgery to remove iud, ovarian cyst, and a 2nd leep was performed. (My first leep was performed July 2013 for CIN 2. ) I had my first period 3 weeks later, which was 7 days and not unusually heavy. The missed two periods until I had my next one in mid May, except for one morning I woke up and was laying in fresh blood. I was bleeding extremely heavy (4 heavy pad in an hour with leakage) but then it stopped. A month later when I started it came in gushes instead of a steady flow. I would soak through pads, tampons, and clothing within seconds and it would last for about an hour (again 4-6 pads an hour with additional tampons) I have now being going this for 16 days. Every few hours I will have heavy gushes that flood. It's literally pouring out of me. I have had 2 different mirenas over the last 7 years. My second had to be removed because of large ovarian cyst were forming and my string had been removed during my first leap. Therefore I haven't had a period or more than spotting in years.. Is this amount of bleeding normal? I am also on bc pills to try to keep cyst down. My husband is very worried but it's is affecting my life to the point I can't even have company in my own home bc I fear blood will just start pouring down my legs even with protection. I called Friday to make an appt but they had left for the day. It's now Saturday and I'm weak, HR 115, headaches, fatigue, cramps, and now seem emotionally worn down. also my supraclavicular lymph nodes are slightly swollen.

I am a 24 year old female. For the last 5 years my periods have been very irregular, at one time I didn't have one for 3 months and assumed I had PCOS. I lost weight and all was back to normal. That was 4 years ago but now for the last 8 months I have had light spotting in between periods which then developed into heavier bleeding and now I have been bleeding for the most part of 4 weeks. I have noticed it is usually brought on after Orgasm (non penetrative). It is always bright red, clotty and I would say a Moderate bleed. I have been with the same partner for 5 years and we always use protection. I had a smear when the spotting initially started and all was normal. What could this be? I have developed some facial hair and have real trouble with my weight so I just assume it is PCOS but I don't associate PCOS with excessive bleeding, especially for a month straight? P.S I have never taken birth control, I am not on any prescription medicine.

I am a 43 year old woman who just recently had sex with a much younger man. He had a very large penis. I have not had sex in over 4 years and the sex with him was extremely painful and I bleed excessively and continued spotting for a couple of days. It was bright red and it was everywhere. Now I have been on the Depo provera birth control shot for at least 6 years. And I have not had a period the whole six years. I understand why I bled but not why so much? Was it because of my age? And I believe the pain was due to not have had sex in years. And another thing, it has been a week since we had sex and I constantly feel like I have to pee, which is now a different shade of yellow and I have an abnormal yellow colored discharge. There is no painful urination, no itching, and maybe just a slight smell nothing strong.
What the heck is going on? Did I catch a STI? Do I have a yeast infection may be due to the excessive bleeding? Or is this something that may just go away soon? Could it be due to my age, nearing menopause and the fact that I have not had sex in over 4 years?

Does anybody else have problems with this? I've been to several gynos over the last decade and nobody seems to want to give me any kind of resolution. I can't take birth control as it gives me extremely high blood pressure and am not willing to risk the hormonal IUD either. Hormonal birth control of any kind is a no for me as I have been on them all. I have an appointment scheduled in the hopes of getting a prescription for a non hormonal blood reducer called Lysteda but I've heard it's expensive and may not be covered by insurance.

two months ago I miscarried at 11.5 weeks. I bled for about 4 weeks and then everything stopped and went back to normal. last sunday, so a week and a day ago, I was standing in my kitchen when I started bleeding again- and not a little, it was a ton, it gushed out and was all over me, my feet and the floor. It came out so fast I didn't have time to react really. I didn't have any cramps or pain at all before, during or after. It stopped after a few minutes and I barely even "spotted" the days following. However,now I have a yellowish/orangish discharge. There is still no pain, or cramping, nor is there itching, burning, or odor. It's not a thick discharge at all either. I have an appointment with my DR. but it's not for 10 days from now. Can anyone give me some insight? Should I try to see another Dr. sooner? I'm concerned about both issues, I normally have very painful periods, and that random gush of blood was not painful... I'd like to think it was my period finally starting again but it seems weird.

I just lost my virginity tonight, and I have bled an excessive amount of blood. I looked up it, and most sources say light bleeding is normal, but my bleeding is heavy. When I got home I discovered my underwear was covered in blood:/ he wasn't exceptionally huge and we didn't even get to finish. Is this amount of bleeding normal?

I have been having peri symptoms for a couple of years. I'm 44. During those years my periods have extended to as much as 40 days until this April whereafter I skipped a month and then this month I am bleeding again but the blood is horrendously heavy with no clots. I am feeling okay as I already take floradix for iron help. ( wow, it took me over five minutes to remember the name of that and then I had to give in and google. My mind went totally blank, another symptom!)
Seeing as I am only on my second day of the horrendous bleed I haven't run to the doctor yet but will next week if it continues. I have read a lot of women talk about heavy bleeding with clots, but I don't have the clots and it's not like my normal period. Of course this happens right near a weekend. Anyone else have the same? It's quite unnerving seeing this blood and I am scared!
My other symptoms are moody swings, crazy rages, depression, anxiety, swollen glands (will get that checked for thyroid), sleeping too much to not enough sleep, no libido, dry eyes, sore boobs, backache, 'not quite on this planet' feelings, some hot flashes, palpitations in early morning, panic feelings for food, boredom, forgetfulness, avoiding everything, fear....blah...the list goes on.

I've had the implanon for about a year and a half now. When it was first put in, my periods occurred every few months or so and when they did appear, they were very light with mild to moderate cramps. In the past 10 months or so, I find myself on my period for 1-2 months at a time. I experience moderate to severe cramps, headaches,bloating, lower back pain,and restlessness. Typically, I only have about 2 weeks interval until I'm bleeding again. I was just curious as to if anyone else has had the implanon and experienced the same problems. I want to just ride out the year, year and a half until it needs to be taken out but not if I'm going to continuously be miserable.

stress may cause excessive sweating. I am a stressful person so do you think my constant sweating may be caused by stressful personality?

From 5-6 days I have been experiencing frequent and excessive urination. The urine is totally clear. And as soon as I finish urinating I feel that I want to urinate more with the feeling that the urine gets collected above the privates. The urine is colourless. And all my urine reports have been clear with specific gravity of 1.010-1.012 and some 4-5 hpf of pus and epithelial cells

I had a recent problem with my sexual life. I have always masturbated at least everyday of my life, and then I met this girl 2 months ago. We had great sex for over a month, and I see to it that she will be satisfied. I even force myself to come three times, although I can feel some extreme exhaustion on my part.
Then one night I masturbated, and I can feel a total drain of my energy. The next morning, I found out that would be the last night that I would masturbate. Now, I cannot feel any urge for sex, and my penis wont feel anything. It has been two weeks now that I cannot have an erection, like it is dead.
The anxiety and depression is killing me.
They advise that to do a reboot for a few months would help but I cant help to worry everyday. Because of this it has affected my outlook in llife.
I would blame it on my excessive masturbation.

i think this may be caused by the omeprazole.
flatulence is mentioned in the side effects but i do not know if this include the burping. it is awful! for at least a half an hour burping keeps annoying me, again and again after i take omeprazole.
i must take it with diclofenac. last time i was on diclofenac i got gastritis. now i have to take these two together.
other people take the omeprazole on empty stomach.
but if i have to take these two medicines together, i must take them with the food. i cannot take diclofenac on empty stomach, can i?
which way would be the best?
do i have to take them together? should i not use omeprazole straight in the morning on empty stomach and then diclofenac later on with a meal?
generally, i do not have strong acid or reflux. i only take omeprazole because i have to take diclofenac.
how would the omeprazole react with contraception, which i also take straight in the morning?

it has become so hard to see if i fit for peri-menopause as I do not have hot flashes at all but i seem to have all else creeping up on me. lots of women say if you don't have the hot flashes then it can not be peri...So really what is the best way to know that your entering that stage of life or not..i read alot of posts where all these woman have all these tell tale sign of menopause and instead of there doctor taking there age into consideration for menopause they all run to do all kinds of tests and this and that..is it really that difficult to decipher when in menopause or not? I'm so confused and since I'm 42 my doctor wont even talk to me about it regardless that my mother and her went into full menopause at 45 yrs old..i just hate to be running to the DR and getting all frustrated when some of my symptoms or all are peri-menopause related.
