Subject: change in period...clots and mucus
> Just a little background history...
> I am 24 years old I had my second child in Nov 2001. I stopped
> breast-feeding and resumed my menses in July 2002. I first started on
> Mircette and tried to take them continuously but had continuous
> breakthrough bleeding, so I went on Yasmin about 5 to 6 months ago and
> have had no problems since. I did have a miscarriage with D&C in Jan.
> 2001 and I conceived my last pregnancy before I even resumed my menses
> from that. I have never had any irregularities with my menses before.
> My problem is that since resuming my menses last July my periods have
> been different than they were before my pregnancy. They are pretty much
> just clotting with a lot of bloody mucus. There is never any real blood
> flow like I used to have. I also think I might be developing ovarian
> cysts. I have constant pain on one side or the other from about
> mid-cycle until day two of my period. It is not severely painful, but
> uncomfortable with a pulling sensation sometimes. I am also concerned
> about this because I am on oral contraceptives. However, my regular
> menstrual cramps have decreased a lot as compared to what I used to
> have. I also think I am developing more PMS. Should I be concerned
> about any of these issues or are they just regular life changes?
> Thanks, Jenny
