I know a lot of the symptoms I am having are normal but they don't seem to be so normal when they are happening to you. Up until 3 months ago I was fine, having no meno symptoms at all. I started bleeding on October 8 and have not stopped. I have seen my doctor, had a biopsy and ultrasound. I now have a D&C scheduled on 1-22 but the doctor has not given me anything to stop the bleeding. I'm beginning to think that there is something terribly wrong with me that is causing this. I have myself convinced that I have cancer. I am so tired that I can't even function at time. My mind is in a fog. I work full time and I am still able to get to work but by the end of the day I can hardly move. I only want to go home to bed. Then when I sleep a couple of hours, I can't sleep any more. Needless to say my husband is worried about me and tired of all this. I'm sorry to ramble but I need some support.

lsb142..with prolonged bleeding..you could be anemic..has your doctor checked you for this? I can get anemic (again..am prone)..with a heavy 2 wk. period..this would make you tired etc.etc..good that your doctor is doing testing..i'm thinking its hormonal..let us know how you are doing.

Isb142, I can understand what u are feeling like, I have been bleeding since Nov.28th. My Dr. has given me 3 shots of Depro Provera to try and stop the bleeding but so far it continues. I was suppose to have a biopsy but my Dr. said she could not do it if I was still bleeding. So now we wait for 7 days since I had my last shot today. I think I will also have to have a D&C. I was put on iron pills because I became very dizzy and could not walk. Please let us know how u are doing, I have found there are a lot of support here. Take care Mary
