I started my cycle Monday of last week today is Friday, it's been 11 days and I am bleeding very have with large blood clots. I went to the ER Wen. and they just gave my birthcontrol pills to take inorder to stop the bleeding. I am concerned that I will loose too much blood to have my RNY, The birth control pills will cause my blood to clot more after sergery. I don't know why this is starting now, I was think that I could be my nerves, I want the RNY im excited about it as well as scared as *ell but, I'm going through with it.

My mother told me that the woman in my family have a history of this type of bleeding at aroung the age of 40. I just made 39 in August so, I'm just in time for all the fun. Has anyone else experanced this or know anyone that has?

Well don't take the birth control if your fixing to have surgery in the next 30 day. I see where a lot of surgeons request you stop them then. And nerves can change your cycle as well as are you losing weight like on pre op? Because that messes with your hormones as well

I was just given the birth control pills Wen. In the ER, to stop the heavy bleeding and clotting that I've been having for the past three weeks I took a total of for if them, but I'm not going to take anymore. I asked the per op doctor if these were the same blood clots that we all have a fear of after surgery and she said no, and that the two are totally in related.
