Bleeding for 24 days!

I’ve been pretty irregular now for the last year, tending to only menustrate every other month. After 7 weeks and very painful (unusual) sore nipples my period started and has got heavier and heavier. By day 6 I asked for transexamic as I’d had to have it 2 years ago. I’ve used all 60 tablets and I’m still bleeding! I have mouth ulcers from nowhere, I’m not sexually active, in fact it’s been 5 years since my last encounter! I’m exhausted all of the time! Really starting to worry! Had bloods done today and having a pelvic ultrasound done this Thursday! 

  • Hi MummyGummyBear

    Welcome to the forum and I'm really sorry to hear that you've been struggling with this for the past 7 weeks. It's not surprising that you feel exhausted all the time. 

    Hopefully the blood tests and the ultrasound will give your GP some answers about what is causing this continued bleeding. Fingers crossed that you won't have to wait too long for the results to come back. 

    Do let us know how you get on.

    Best wishes,

  • Thank you Jenn

    Obviously  I don’t want anything serious but at least I’d have answers!  It’s frustrating and getting expensive for sanitary products!  Honestly thought I would be too old for all of this!  Feeling old that’s for sure!  As soon as I know I shall update!  My twin sister had a hysterectomy last year after several ablations but even she hadn’t bled like this!  Just trying to keep my anxiety at bay waiting!!!

    Thank you all!
