    hey now...so, i have kind of a weird problem, and was wondering if anyone else has had this happen...for the last 18 months i have been without my menses(i'm only 26, not time for menopause yet) well, a little over a week ago, out of the blue, it starts up, and i mean it came back with a vengeance. i had it for exactly 7 days, and 5 of those days i bled so bad, i couldn't do anything but stay around the house, i had to change my pad every hour or less! and it at times was bright red blood, with clots, more towards the end it became darker. i was actually scared there for a bit, but i reasoned it was just the lack of it for so long. anyone know if this is in anyway normal? i haven't been to the dr. as i have no insurance right now. any help would be great!

    dont be alarmed darling.. but i have seen something similar. and i thought i'd share it with you..

    my mom suddenly started bleeding like that and tons of blood came out..(like puddled up on the floor) with the clots and everything.. it filled her pad and flowed down her legs... she slept through it and woke up soaked.. the next day she kept on bleeding..and she was fatigue and turning blue.. we had to carry her to the hospital

    what happened was ... she had a tumor in her uterus and it was attached to the one of the arteries.. and once it detached... it tore up the artery and that caused the bleeding..

    the thing is she was only bleeding for a day or so... and she didnt stop menstruating before that .... i think you should go see your gynocologist.... so you can figure out whats wrong and fix it in time ..:)

    XOXO, Ja
