Ive only had my "period" once in almost 2 years.?!


Question: Ive only had my "period" once in almost 2 years!.!?
I have a 14 month old son and I just weaned him from breastfeeding!. I know that it is normal to not have your period while breastfeeding so I didnt think it wasnt normal that I havent had one in so long!. In January I woke up one morning and I was lying in a puddle of blood!. I ran to the bathroom and I wouldnt stop bleeding!. I was wearing a super tampon and a super pad and I was having to change them every 10-20 minutes for hours!. I was also having the worst cramps I have ever experienced!. I could barely walk to the car to take myself to the doctor!. My pcp checked me and since I didnt have a positive pregnancy test she said it was just my period coming back!. I started to have clots in my blood and I thought it was weird!. In my mind I KNEW that I was having a miscarriage but no one would listen to me!. Now its been 3 months and I still havent had another "period"!. Doesnt that seem a little strange!? Also a week before this happened the condom my hubby was using broke!. Normal or not!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
No, this is definitely not normal!. From your description as to the volume of blood, the clots and the pain, It sounds to me like you could well have been having a miscarriage and that fact that your normal menstrual cycle hasn't returned is a bit suss!. I'd be asking my GP for a referral to a good gynaecologist and canvassing with him or her the possible benefits of a curette - its possible that if you did in fact have a miscarriage, bits of tissue may still be adhering to your uterus and causing problems!.

Even if it turns out to be nothing, its worth getting it checked!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had a experience simular to yours my doctor told me that sometimes after having a baby the blood can sometimes get traped due to everthing tring to go back to where it origonaly was and then it finally breakes through and you have clots where it has been there so long but if i was you and i was still worried i'd get a second oppion from another doctorWww@Answer-Health@Com
