I had terrible issues with my period from the time I first got it, late at 16 even though I was healthy in all other regards. I had terribly painful, long, and heavy periods. I was put on bc but it didn’t really help, I eventually had a hysterectomy five years after having my daughter and they said I had adenomyosis - where the cells that normally line the uterus and slough off during your period are in the muscle wall of the uterus. I had tried ablation first and it did nothing. My period was the opposite of what it’s supposed to be by the end of it I was only not bleeding for a week but then bleeding for the rest of the month. I have a genetic clotting defect that is severe to the point I have to take blood thinners for life to stay anti-coagulated so that made the whole thing an absolute horror show. I lost so much blood at one point my ferritin was a 2! I had to have 14 iron infusions at the chemo center with all the poor patients getting their chemo. The docs were amazed that I hadn’t had a heart attack or a stroke! I was like 35 or 35 at the time. Life has definitely been better since having my uterus taken out. I do still have my cervix and ovaries.
