Two weeks of bleeding

Anonymous
I’m on week 2 of bleeding. First 4 days or so was spotting, followed by a normal period (a few heavy days, then gradually less for another 3-4 days) and now back to spotting but still red blood. It’s been a solid 2 weeks. I’m so sick of this. I’ll be 46 next month and have been getting my period for 35 years. I just want this to end.

I do have a history of fibroids so if I’m still bleeding at the end of the week I’m going to see Dr.

Get checked. Could be benign polyp(s) too.

This happened to me two months so far.

This happened to me and it lasted about two years. After trying several things (including removing some.benign polyps, which did make it stop for a few months), I finally got an IUD. If it’s just two weeks and not very heavy, the doctor probably won’t be very concerned. I was bleeding profusely and even that they were like “yeah, that happens. Stay hydrated.”

Me three, but 55! 2 fibroids. Doc put me on progesterone to stop the bleeding (saw her at the 2 week point when I was still bleeding). Looking at surgery for the fibroids in the Fall, after summer travel and kids all settled in at their respective colleges

Thanks. This is… not exactly reassuring but at least helpful in making me feel normal.

TMI but some benign polyps grow on stalks. They can spot as they work their way out the cervix, then a period gets them out (cramps help). Then the polyp(s) are there spotting. A quick look and snip gets those. I had that done many times when younger.
Postmenopausal it was terrifying the first 3 times. They did want to do a hysteroscopy to get any lurkers. But all benign.

I had this kind of bleeding with a fibroid. After enduring it for too long, I had a hysterectomy.

I have this due to perimenopause. It sucks and I can’t wait for it to be over. I’m 51. The doctor did do endometrial biopsy and vaginal ultrasound to check that all was okay.

I have adenomeosis- diagnosed after 6 wks of period bleeding

IUD is controlling it for now, but I think peri menopause is also making everything worse in terms of cramping, etc
