THIS IS GRAPHIC........15 days that's a piece of cake. About 2 years ago I started with problems I had mine for 3 months. You read that right 3 months non stop. It would stop for a week or 2 then start again for the next 3 months. Some days the bleeding was so bad I had clots the size of my hand. I would stand in the tub and gush for 20-40 minutes at a time. I was passing out. One day a board member called me I was so out of it she was going to call 911. I told her she had better not as I wouldn't go with them. I have no medical insurance and was NOT going to the ER. Actually I didn't care if i would have died, I would have welcomed it. I had to piggy back 2 tampons and they would projectile shoot out of me. That was with wearing a overnight maxipad. This was every 5 minutes for hours. I would stand up and pools of blood would be in my slippers and the bottom 1/2 of me looked like I was diped in red paint. As I walked down the hall the walls were splattered with blood just from walking, Think of how it would be if you had a wet towel in you hands, the water would splash so did the blood. I am not a dramatic person however 1 night it was so bad I wrote letters to both of my children and taped them to the bathroom mirror. I truely believed I was dying. My moms cousin hemorrhaged to death and was found on the couch by her son. I could not go for surgery besides no medical insurance I was taking care of my DD who I knew was having more surgery. There was no one to take care of me if I had surgery. I have been spotting for 2 weeks now I am hopng this is the end. I will be 56 in March.
