Today, I was told that since I've had only three or four periods since 2013, there's 60 periods worth of blood clotted in my uterus. They gave me medicine to make it all come out in one week. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, despite me getting my period every two weeks and bleeding heavily enough that I faint if I move too fast, my doctor told me that it's normal and to just "take it easy". FML
Today, I went to the doctor because I have been getting my period every week and a half and they are ridiculously heavy. He then spent the entire time discussing painkillers (I'm allergic to most) and when I asked to be put on birth control, he said I'd need another appointment for that. FML
Today, after I went in for surgery, I came out of extremely anemic from blood loss. As soon as I got home, I started my period. FML
Today, I'm on the last few days of my period. After nothing came out the whole day, a dollop of blood suddenly poured out, somehow managed to entirely circumvent the giant pad I was wearing, and went straight into my underwear, pants, and the chair I was sitting on. FML
Today, thanks to a new form of birth control, I've now been having my period non-stop for six weeks. FML
Today, I woke up bleeding from every orifice in my body. I've got a nose bleed from my medication, my gums bled when I brushed my teeth, I'm on my period, and I have hemorrhoids. FML
Today, I started my period, complete with cramps, diarrhoea, a headache, bloating, and aching legs. Apparently my body didn't get the message that I had a total hysterectomy a month ago, including my ovaries, tubes and cervix. FML
Today, I got my period. Last week, I fell out of a window and landed between my legs on a bush; I have massive swelling down there, and stitches over the ripped flesh. Now I'm bleeding out my period on top of the lingering wounds down there. It hurts even to pee, let alone menstruate. FML
Today, just like every day for the past two months, I have bled quite a lot into the toilet. The emergency room said it was a GI bleed, but that it would take a while to get it checked. Six weeks is not what I expected. FML
Today, it's been one week since I went to get my birth control renewed. It also marks 16 days until I get the half that broke off in my uterus removed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Seeing all the posts about medication giving you the equivalent of a six-weeks explosive diarrhea out of your ****** coupled with the sensation of being cut open with a rusty chainsaw, it looks like nobody thought about testing said medication on women. Good luck with the doctor who will prescribe you sedatives instead of painkillers.

Well they are testing it now, aren't they? -.-

Take Aleve, not Midol or Advil. Stronger and lasts longer, but make sure you take it with food! Avoid caffeine, makes cramps worse. Some noble kava, to take the edge off the stress and help you sleep (avoid sketchy online shops, though).

Uh, please find another doctor/gynea.... I understand that there could be issues with the thickening of the blood which causes a higher cancer risk like some of the other comments, but if your periodblood had truly been accumulating after all that time, you would have run the risk of sceptecimia (sorry I have never been able to spell that word) waaaaay before 2018 if they stopped in 2013. The body will find a way to get rid of the blood, one way or another. I only come on twice or three times a year because of my birth control, I don't take anything to get it out me, even though one month can be a bit heavier than the others, which makes me think there could be two months worth, but a few years? Impossible. Please find a new doctor and have your hormones checked.

Just throw the whole uterus out.

I’d love to. They won’t let me, though, because I’m seventeen and childless.
