Any one have episodes of menstrual bleeding lasting over a month, mainly from stress?

Hey Nikicole1986, I had placenta previa during my last pregnancy, I did not know a woman could have this illness without being pregnant.vtech10

Also I beleive I am a bleeder even with dental procedures and any surgical situation. So having anemia causes issues and makes one a bleeder ... vtech10

thanks fall queen i have been a severe nemic- i beleive i am starting menopause, i made an appt with o/b quite frankly i am simply afraid of another pill being pushed in my face--- in 2004 i had the bleeding issue, primary doc said it was due to stress--- o/b always said everything looked ok, had last child in 2005--- bled thru pregnancy after delivery they said everything ok, march--april it occurred again they said possible menopause but most likely due to stress-- so i realize stress causes issues for me by the time doctors get involved its over--- and its not heavy either-its just on--continuously into the next month--- now its may where is it--- o/b does not know what to do with me my test come back ok... so i am just talking about it in case something was missed out of the situation--- vtech10

vtech10, I am happy to hear you are taking this seriously, once a problem starts on your reproductive organs it can move swiflty.That is not to say anything is wrong, but better safe than sorry. I did not take anyhing for the symptoms ( like hot flashes etc.) All I know is my cycle became irregular one month it would last over a week, sometimes I didn't even have one, I can always talk to you in private about some other symptons that may begin a little further down the road. Keep your chin up though all these things are proof that we are women and so much more complicated and intricate than a man. Celebrate as long as things are noy serious, meaning just another life cycle of a women. Goodd Luck Fall Queen

pattishan61 and fall queen i really appreciate your info, i joined this group really as a means to communicate life issues and i knew i was not by myself, i have learned as well there are a slew of issues many folks have and that its world wide, i almost feel like my load, my cross i am carrying seems like a small bag of beans compared to others , yet its mine and mine alone-i am thankful to be alive many close calls in my life, again thanks for looking out vtech10

Any kind of heavy bleeding can contribute to anemia. When a patient has anemia, we try to stem the heavy menstrual flow and prescribe an iron supplement. Depending on the severity of the situation we may choose from a range of progesterone therapy options along with diet and exercise modifications to help rebalance the hormonal equation.

Okay now breath you certainly have lived a full and successful life and you got some beautiful children in the process congrats way to go mommy. Now that I am aware of your age menopause is definantly a possibility those hours you worked though can stress anyone out and it sounds like you have to have a fight with yourself everyday. I think you are doing a great job just take a seat and breath for a minute take two if you have to it sounds like you rushing yourself take your time in getting back to your normal routine. Stress can sometime's break a person down to nothing when your ready get back on your feet and try again.
