I’ve been reading this thread with great interest. I’m 43 and have always been very regular and no surprises. I’ve noticed that some months hurt a lot during the past few years, but the flow is OK. Well, until yesterday. I was at work and just having my regular monthly when I felt a flow like never before. Went to the ladies room and HOLY CRAP WTH - it was everywhere. I went to the hospital and they gave me an ultrasound and a CAT scan to rule out the major stuff. I was home last night by 11:00 and took some time off today. The pain isn’t too bad but the flow is very heavy still and I’m shaky and exhausted.
How long does this usually last? I have a doctor appt. Monday but it just started up really heavy again 1/2 hour ago and this is just so upsetting. Thanks for any anecdotes or advice. Oh, and I have had and will have medical treatment, this is just new to me and I’m not having a good time here.
