MENORRHAGIA: Prolonged period From: Jennifer (anonymous@obgyn.net) Tue, 16 Oct 2007 08:51:23 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: anonymous@obgyn.net: "PREGNANCY: Is this normal or cause for concern?"

However, on 9/13 I got my period and it was on time and normal except it never stopped. It lingered lightly until my next cycle which started on 10/14. I am hoping that it will stop this time but I don't know yet. I went to my OB and saw the NP there who suggested I have a pelvic u/s which I have scheduled for next week. She said that as soon as I mentioned that I have fibroids. She also handed a pamphlet to me with surgery options and saying I probably would need a D&C. I don't feel comfortable with all of these things being thrown at me when they really have no idea what the problem is. I called back the next day and told the NP that I forgot to tell her that I wanted to have a complete bloodwork done to check my thyroid and hormones and she told me that I would have to go to my primary physician for that. Needless to say, I'm going to have a second opinion and see what another OB tells me. Personally I think I should have the u/s AND bloodwork done before suggesting any type of surgery procedure. I suspect that this may be hormonal because I have other symptoms which I've had for months now which are hair loss, forgetfullness(MAJOR) and decreased libido. My question is has anyone experienced anything like this before? Have you had a really wacky cycle and then the next cycle comes and everything is back on track? If so, what could cause this?
