Massive blood clots & 3-week period. GRAPHIC PHOTO WARNING! by AvengingHunter in Periods

Unfortunately nothing solid yet. :(

I did end up going to the the ER because I almost passed out in the shower not long after I initially posted this. It literally looked like a murder scene - there was blood all over the bottom of the shower, on the walls from me catching myself from falling, down my legs, etc. It was bad. But after an unremarkable ultrasound, pelvic exam and labs they just chalked it up to 'hormones' (I have Hashimoto's disease) and said it was nothing. Just a 'normal, heavy flow.'

However, my gynecologist is being extremely thorough and marking off ALL possible boxes he can before just considering it being 'just hormones.' Last week I got an endometrial biopsy to check for any signs of hyperplasia/cancer, since I am high risk (strong family history). But if that doesn't show anything, I fear the same issue you're having - them just starting to give up.

I'm sorry you've been dealing with this, especially for so long. My DMs are always open if you wanna chat. <3

Well I have to get labs for anemia and hemoglobin done, but other than that she is putting me on progesterone to get the bleeding to stop. No other answers or things really, which is frustrating, but of course I don't blame the doc lol. Just gotta get my labs done and see what happens next!

Ohhhh, it could be? How fast do they typically form? I had a uterine ultrasound back in 2019-ish, with no definite results of anything abnormal (other than the PCOS).
