39F, 450lbs (down 50lbs since December). Endometrial Hyperplasia with Atypia, mild Hypertension, severe Iron Deficiency Anemia, B12 and Vitamin D deficiencies.
TL;DR - Hemoglobin was 9.2 when I arrived at hospital. Losing copious amounts of blood and huge clots over 4-6 hours without reprieve. Transfused 2 units of blood and admitted. Bleeding has since slowed substantially. Hemoglobin raised to only 9.6 after the transfusions then dropped to 9 just 12 hours after 2 unit transfusion. How? Why?? I’m not bleeding heavy enough right now for it to make sense.
—————
I went to the hospital yesterday because I was hemorrhaging vaginally, feeling weak, etc. I have endometrial Hyperplasia with Atypia which causes heavy bleeding, and a history of bleeding daily since the end of December. But yesterday it was the worst episode of uncontrollable bleeding ever. Blood just gushed out of me for 4+ hours unbidden, huge clots, etc. Educated guess is I lost between 1-2 pints of blood, maybe more during that time. I’m still bleeding, but it’s slowed substantially after 2 infusions of TXA and HIGH doses of Progestin.
My hemoglobin when I got to the hospital was 9.2, after two pints of blood were transfused it went up to 9.6. Now, 18 hours later, it’s dropped to 9. I’m not bleeding heavily right now and haven’t for the last 12 hours or so.
So I’m wondering why in the heck after 2 units of blood did my hemoglobin drop???
Main pic shows current Hemoglobin. Will add screenshot of blood count 6 hours previously plus Iron and Ferritin.
TIA!
