Sorry Ladies, Just moaning here!

Since my Blighted ovum back in april, my periods have been irregular, sometimes a cycle lasted around 50 days, other times as short as 24 days...September i had missed the 28 day mark by 2 weeks, and my period showed up, like a tap had been turned on, i was having horrid cramps and i felt dizzy, so i went to the gp...He suspected i had a m/c but i didn't believe that, he prescribed me some tranexamic acid to try and stem the bleeding! After 2 weeks the bleeding finally stopped...Yesterday my period came again, started off a sort of pink colour (unusual for me) and now it's bright red and honestly its gross, it smells metallic, although im not in much pain, just the odd cramp, i feel like i have my own flood going on!! I don't know what "normal" is, but my periods never used to be bright red!

I'm fed up of it, i just want my body to go back to some sort of normality, i have never had irregular periods until after April!

Me and andy have been ttc since the blighted ovum to little avail, and i just feel like it's my fault! I'm not stressing over ttc, but i am getting worried that there is something wrong with my cycle!

Well i have to go now, i have loads of washing to do, haven't gone out today as i bled through my trousers and didn't want to chance going in public! How embarassing!!

Well first off Sam, it sounds like you need a big hugfor having such a pants day!
I have no advice im affraid on irregular periods or ttc, but just wanted to say moan away as much as you need to, and i hope it has made you feel slightly better?
If you think things aren't quite right with your body, then go back to your gp and have a chat with him about all your concerns.
I hope your bleeding settles down soon, and you have a better day tomorrow.
(Just a thought, if your using sanitary pads... double them up to prevent leaking if your planning on going out!!!)

Thanks ladies, i think i will go back to the gp and see what next! He wanted to do a pelvic exam after september's issue, but i never went back...So i guess it will be necessary. The smell isn't bad, its the amount that's gross! It smells like fresh blood! I just want it to end! Feeling quite light headed today, i look quite pale so my guess is that i have lost a fair amount of blood since it started!

I am wearing the night brand at the moment as the ordinary ones only last an hour!! At least now i get an hour and a half!

Might try putting 2 on lol! Thanks for listening ladies xxx
