I have a doctor’s appointment Monday and until then I am so confused.
Starting Sunday, I was out with my grandma doing some shopping since she came down to see me when the worst cramps hit me. It started to radiate all throughout my lower body and through my thighs.
Usually when I get my periods the first sign is a heat flash. I start to get super warm all throughout my body and cramps make me double over that I can’t do anything else. Wherever I’m at I know I need to get my ass home to lay down and start drinking an insane amount of water. I usually get like this when I am dehydrated, but this is usually the norm for me.
This period was so different tho.
My period was pink. That hadn’t happened before. I stuck a pad down there and waited for it to start.
I went to the bathroom later that day and nothing was there. Until I sat on the toilet and everything gushed out. It was the most uncomfortable feeling I had ever had in my life. It burned to pee. I felt constipated. And when I looked down to check huge clots were down there.
I immediately called my doctor trying to find some help and they scheduled me an appointment.
From then until now, it’s still been weird and uncomfortable.
Nothing is in my pad when I go to the bathroom and only when I sit down does everything come out. Even out of my other whole down there. I don't poop, but little droplets of blood come out. It still burns to pee. I don’t sleep either. In the past two days, I have woken up third times in the night to use the bathroom because I was getting the worse cramps. Nothing would come out unless I was on the toilet.
Today and yesterday I haven’t bled. It’s still early in the morning, but when I sit on the toilet now I see little drops of blood on the pad but nothing in the toilet no matter how long I sit there.
I hadn’t been so concerned for my health before and now I am getting scared it could have something other than a period. But I guess I won’t know until I talk to my health care provider about it.
Unfortunately, I am uninsured, so the options for me are probably going to be very minimal until I can reinsure myself.
But as always, I will keep a positive mindset and try my best to stay calm.
If you enjoyed reading, keep up with me and my crazy stories about my life. I’d really appreciate it : )
Have a good day and keep positive thoughts.
