I'm at a point where i'm crying writing this. I don't know what else to do. I've always had irregular periods. when i was in highschool, i went years without a period. In college, i went months. I had to have a D&C to thin my uterine lining last july because i had been having constant bleeding from December of 2024 to May of 2025. I developed anemia, I had clots bigger than a golf ball that were painful to pass, i'd be hunched over in pain crying because of my cramps, and i'd have to take off work sometimes. It got so bad that i was soaking through a pad (I cant wear tampons) every 1-2 hours. After my D&C, i felt a little better. My period was a bit more regular. And then all of a sudden in January of this year, the heavy, painful clotting and period started again. My doctor prescribed me provera several times to stop the bleeding. I'm seeing her on the 22nd to look into scheduling a hormonal IUD that will eventually stop my period (hopefully), but my doctor is concerned it wont stay because i have a smaller cervix. I also have a hard time with PAPS because penetration is extremely painful for me (NOt during sex, just during exams) I've tried 7 different birth controls and nothing works. I'm feeling hopeless. I've been bleeding since april 12th again. Its affecting my mental health, my work, and my relationship. I just want the bleeding and the pain to stop.
