I normally wouldn't post about this, but it probably doesn't matter and I'm concerned about it. I've been bleeding for over two weeks. A month ago all I had was spotting for a day, then three weeks later it started again. It's so heavy that at times I feel dizzy and nauseous and a few days ago I went grey and almost passed out. I didn't say anything to Larry because I figured it couldn't go on like that. I thought it would have to stop within a day or two. I had a similar (though slightly less heavy) period about a year ago and then normal cycles up until now. In March I had my yearly exam and everything came back normal, so I have no idea what's going on but I feel pretty bad. More tired than usual. There haven't been any more heavy days like the one in which I almost passed out (ten pads in four hours!!), but it keeps tapering down then starting up again. It slows down just enough for me to think, 'looks like it's just about done', then starts up again. With a vengeance.
There's no way I could be miscarrying a pregnancy and I don't think I'm old enough for perimenopause (though I've read in several places on the internet that women with hypothyroid often start it early). I just don't know.
So right now I'm a bit distracted and I have no desire to blog, other than this entry which I was hoping would help me put things into perspective (there's just something reassuring about seeing things in writing, I guess), but it didn't. I have an appointment to see my doctor on Friday. I told Larry about it this evening. Now he's all worried. I probably shouldn't have said anything.
I'm supposed to go out with my mom, grandmother, DJ & Tesla this weekend for the first time in eons, and I don't know if I'll be emotionally up to it. I really need it, though. Times away from home are fewer and farther between these days. Guess I'll just have to see how it goes with Dr. H.
