During the summer I was passing clots the size of potato chips, now it's just very thick red blood, and it's not all day. I have another ultrasound on Dec 14. I'm 52 years old and per bloodwork I'm not in menopause yet. I guess I don't really have a specific question. I'm just venting and wondering if anyone experienced anything like this.

Hi, i dont have fibroids that they can tell, but they do suspect endometriosis strongly. My mom, two sisters had it. I have been bleedingsince October 30th. Ultrasound shows extremely thick endometrial lining, my dr was actually slightly impressed. I have surgery January 6th. Dont feel bad venting, i hurt all the time, and am exhausted as well.stay strong

Good Luck on your upcoming procedure! Recovery is a bit of work, but it does fly by. Feels so much better on the other side.

You do not need to be afraid. You have a plan, and have made a decision that should help you a great deal. Not to pass on TMI.. but my clots were very impressive. Scary.. and unpredictable. I didn't have a normal life, and could not plan anything not knowing if I was going to be tied to a bathroom with double tampons and double pads to catch the xtra. Bled thru a lot of clothes.. now I can wear beige and white slacks without fear. Doesn't sound like much, but to me it's a big deal. Stay connected to this site, and all the links and resources.
