AF questions*!!! (TMI)

**BC-QueenValerie** · 05-15-2006, 12:22 PM

Hello*!!! okay not sure where to really post this...and since I mostly post/read here I thought maybe you all could help. As I stated in my earlier post this is cycle #3 of charting before we start ttc in AUG. I have had the normal cramping and feeling like shi* has been kicked out of me during this AF, but I haven't had any clotting (TMI...sorry). I will go to the bathroom and it will just run out of me. I don't ever reemember having this kind of AF...so I am just looking to hear that yes this can happen and concidered "normal". I will be sure to add this to my chart so once I see the DR in OCT I can ask more about it.

Again sorry for TMI

Hi QV: yes, AF without clots is normal... in fact, my acupuncturist looked for clot-free, bright red AF as a good sign! If it concerns you, though, call your doctor and talk about it with him/her.

Good luck

Hello*!!! okay then this is a good thing then. I am back on my thyrpid pills and taking a good hanful of vitamins and all the calcium I have to take....I just always assumed cramping with produce clots....so that is why I was asking. woohoo maybe my uterus is gearing up for the long hall in AUG*!!!

QV, i agree with everything maura said (as usual)

i've had AF (for what seems like) a cabillion years and have never really clots in my flow. maybe tiny ones on rare occassions. although i did have very crampy AF's until i started having children. so although i think the 2 can go hand in hand, you can have cramps with clots and vica versa.

wow, this really IS an attractive convo, LOL

but like maura said....there's nothing taboo here, so don't ever worry about it!

Hello*!!! okay thank you... I just needed ease of mind since this is something new for me. BUT hopefully like I said because I am on my thyroid pills and taking all my vits and minerals that things are gearing up for a healthy pg in AUG.
