You`re still goddam alive?!?
Now that is the story of my life. I have had a classical CS and have an IUD now, which makes the bleeding worse. I need the IUD, as I have a terrible fear of a repeat pregnancy and can’t take hormones. I’m waiting for one of those do-it-yourself-home-hysterectomy kits to kit the market.
And how come we don’t brag out out fabulously long and bloody periods like the guys brag about their you-know-whats?
I don’t know, I’ve seen what sure looked like bragging in these sorts of threads before – “you wouldn’t believe the SIZE of the clot I passed five minutes ago!” I’ve never had clots, at least not like some of the women here. I’d be jealous if it didn’t sound so ghastly. (I AM jealous of the people in the zit thread who got really good zits. That’s not nearly as bad!)
And there is the possibility that guys brag about their equipment because it might get them laid. I don’t think saying, “I’ve been bleeding like a stuck pig for three weeks!” is going to get us anything except “EWW! ICK!”
You made me laugh.
The only time that’s ever happened to me was when I was eleven and starting to feel the kick in the ass that turned out to be ITP. I swear, if that shit starts again when I’m perimenopausal, I’m going to the nearest gyno and yelling “TAKE THAT DEMON ORGAN OUT!”
My god that’s horrible. I’m so sorry AllShookUp. I can barely take the 2 or so days of heavy bleeding I get (my normal periods are the same as your normal ones, it sounds). I couldn’t imagine dealing with it for any longer than that.
Reminds me of my favorite South Park quote of all time, though. From Mr. Macaphe (sp?)
I just don’t trust something that bleeds for seven days and doesn’t die!!
My sympathies with you AllShookDown, though I can’t even begin to imagine what you went through (and I don’t wanna try).
But what I really wanted to ask was what does TM and TMI stand for (so that I can avoid reading ones that say that)
To Much Information.
By the way All Shook Up. Did you go to the doctor yet? What did she/he say. Come back and post so we know you are ok.
ha ha
DOWN not up. That is what I get for not previewing. Oh, and there is supposed to be a question mark in one of those sentences.
Hey, thanks for all the sympathy and junk. I know that other women have had it much worse but I had to have a sense of humor about this whole thing and I needed to vent and was compelled to write it that way. It’s still with me but I got my referral to the gyno and will deal with it.
Ha. I specifically picked this gyno because her name was Kim and I thought I’d be more comfortable with a woman gyno. Then I looked her up on the web and it’s a male Kim. Oh well.
I’ve never had a male gyno (okay, technically I’ve not seen a gyno, but nurse practitioners, both female) but I’m guessing that while for just the usual yearly I’d be more comfortable with a woman, if I’d been bleeding for weeks I don’t think I’d care if Godzilla was the gyno if he could MAKE IT STOP! g
