Bleeding 10 days post LLETZ

Hi guys,

So I had my LLETZ on 27th of  July, felt completely fine after, had no discharge for about 2-3days, then it started with black bits coming out. Then yesterday I woke up with my pad soaked in blood.  Felt like a heavy period throughout the day, but I did not panic, as I have seen a few posts saying this is expected around 10 days in. Then today I literally just walked to the shop and back and it started a lot heavier with a few clots here and there. I am trying to figure out how much is too much?  I have maybe used 4-5 pads today between 8am and 6pm and it kind of goes very heavy non stop flow for a bit and then nothing for a bit. I feel fine, mild cramps from time to time, but other than that nothing - no fever or anything. Felt a bit weak, but figured considering I had so much blood loss in two days is no surprise. I am only getting worried because once it starts it goes rather heavy and soaks the pad almost immediately. Not sure if I should just wait it out and see or just take myself to A&E just in case. Has anyone had anything similar?

  • If anyones in doubt check it out.

  • Awww thank you, I spoke to doctors yesterday, they said if pain gets bad then to call, I’m due on tomorrow so may be early but not like usual period blood (sorry I’m over sharing now) I can’t believe the leaflets…. honestly if it wasn’t for this forum I’d of been ringing an ambulance when “black volcanic sand” was coming out a few days ago. Why not say the real facts it would save so much stress and nhs resources in time spent on phone calls surely, sorry I’m not a poorly person but it’s getting me down and I’m ranting it out…. Thank you  

  • Its ok sadly could be an early period,but if have learnt anything  be persistant you know your body.watch for infection 

  • Hello all thank you for sharing your experiences, as I am currently on a drip in a&e the team have no idea about the reasons as to why this is is happening although they’re aware of the loop procedure I had yesterday afternoon. Over the past 5 hours I can say I’ve lost at least a pint and a half of blood with very large clots. Clots I’ve never had throughout my 30+ years of life. I was flabbergasted yet petrified, they felt tangerines coming out of me. However I was also due to start my period yesterday, therefore I don’t know whether the timing of it all has invigorated my cervix / womb to bleed like never before but it’s a lot of blood loss. I too have been given trans acid to stop the bleeding along with fluids as my bp was low. Feeling better now but still very tired due to the ordeal. I strongly advise taking time off work following a procedure such as this. And also grab some nappies as pads may not suffice. Hugs ladies hugs and love
