I had had my period for 3 weeks straight, very heavy flow day and night, big clots, insane cramps that would take 10 mins to ramp up, cramp for a certain 5-10 mins, and take 10 mins to cool down. Every hour. 24 hours a day. I was green.
Doctor, very pregnant : are you pregnant?
me (no sex for 10 years) : no
She proceeded with asking me every permutation of "are you pregnant" for 20 mins, barely had a looksee with a speculum, ordered no test, and sent me home cause it'll pass.
It took me 6 months to get back from the anemia (and actual gyno took me in a week later) and it took 2 rounds of special pills to stop my uterus from bleeding me out.
@thebibliosphere I had to repost this for both of us because OOF
