So, to preface this, I have been to my nurse practitioner, and have looked through the memories and other resources.
I have been having some odd watery discharge and some spotting (old, brown blood, not enough for a pantyliner) and thought maybe my BV was back with different symptoms so I went to the health center at school (there is an amazing nurse practitioner who specializes in women's health who I see) and we chatted and she checked and it isn't BV, so she does some feeling around and mentions that I have an enlarged uterus and asks if I have ever been pregnant. I say no and she resumes feeling around. Also my ovaries/uterus have some odd hardness on them that could be abnormal (cysts or fibroids) or could be my body. It is worth mentioning that I have a paraguard IUD and have had it for 11 months now with no complications.
Today I wake up and there is a gush of very watery, red blood down my leg. It is also worth mentioning that I am ovulating and I know that spotting can be normal then, but this is odd for me. Also, I have been having cramping from the beginning of my cycle to now and that is also abnormal for me. I put a pantyliner on and continued my day but the bleeding turned out to be more than a pantyliner could handle and it continued to be very red. Later this evening I went to put PJs on and noticed a LARGE clot (marble sized) and I have never had a clot that large before.
I am in the process of scheduling an ultrasound and am seeing doctors and such I just want to get some lovely VP ideas/advice etc. on what could be happening now.
Thank you in advance.
EDIT: I don't think I have ever posted something and gotten no responses :(
