I had my tubes tide in July of 06 and still today my periods are 10 days long with the first 3 days just spotting then 4 days of heavy bleeding and 3 days of spotting again. Then this month I had some spotting in between. I had a baby in may of 06 and no birth control after that and no birth control before baby.. MY periods have always been normal before and after i have had my kids. I have 3.
So is this normal and i should just deal with it or should i talk to obgyn about it?
Thanks for the help.
Answer:
Several of my friends and I have had the same problem. I have read some medical journals that speak of the 'probability' that Tubals increase heavy periods, but I think there's not much to be done.
I had my tubal 9 years ago, after my last child, and it sent me into terrible periods, and I developed endometriosis and PCOS.
What I have now is the Mirena IUD. It has the same hormones as Depo Provera, and it took 18 months, but it has finally made my periods manageable--about 6-7 days.I would often bleed for 25 days before I got it.
I'd see your GYN asap and see what can be done. I waited 7 years before I took action and I wish I'd gone to the Dr. much sooner.
Good luck
you arent getting yearly gyno exams???? you need to do that. sheesh.
I've talked to a few of my friends who had tubal ligation and they said that their periods became longer and heavier. I would definitely talk to your OB/GYN about this to see what they think.
I got my tubes tied/burnt 4 years ago. My periods are a lot heavier, but they don't really last longer. I don't think 10 days having a period is normal, I feel so bad for you, mine last 5 days tops. I may be wrong, just go to your D.R.
