Hey Ouchy, that happened to me too at the same age, at school one day after lunch. It was horrible! Did you also do what I did and bury it in the back yard in a gold jewelry box and visit it like the blood clot was really a dead person? LOL!

Jeez Ouchy, that is a corker of a story! Poor young you, you were obviously pretty upset by it!
I just remember feeling like I had a cork shoved up my vajayjay (that is the BEST name I have heard for our bits on this site, courtesy of Tess) and it had come loose and I was giving miniature birth to it, so I had to run-walk to the loo and spent time in there before class, alarmedly marvelling at the wierdness of the female human body, whilst the other girls played hopscotch or something in the playground! Sorry if this is too much detail!
Do you still know where yours is in the garden?
Oh yeah, and why don't doctors try harder to 'assume' endometriosis rather than PID as the initial diagnosis? I understand that the reason for this is that the need to administer antibiotics quickly with acute PID is really crucial. But, at at least they could do it and say that they are doing it to preserve your fertility, in case its PID, but that they actually suspect endo is more likely but can't prove it until a laparoscopy can be scheduled. This would be a much better way of marrying up a healthy respect for the patient's instinct about what is going on with their bod and also their medical process of educated guessing (because that's essentially what it is). When I went to see a German doc in Spain when I got ill on holiday, he had no qualms and no argumentativeness in saying that yes, it probably was endo that was causing my extreme pain. Mind you, might have had something to do with the fact that he was private and was being paid good money to say that (I'm used to getting it paid for on the NHS here in the UK). OK - rant over!

^LOL. I have a whole thread about my blood clot baby on here somewhere. I've moved more than 1,000 miles away from my blood clot (hahaha!), but I always think someone will go to plant a garden or something someday and dig up a dead dog, a goldfish...and my blood clot. HA!

This disturbs me a little Ouchy! haha! But poor young you, that must have been horrific! ooohhh ohhh to add to the lost:
...you have at some time in your life worn 2 overnight pads, multiple pairs of underwear, shorts and trackpants/sweatpants and slept on towels in an attempt to not bleed through to your mattress...

Hahah! It was insane, rach! I sat my mom down to tell her I was pregnant! She flipped! She asked how. I told her nto to be mad, that I was still a virgin, but that all I could think of was that I didn't wash the bathtub out well enough after my step-father or brothers (pre-pubescent!) had taken a bath. (There was also something that I *thought* was a condom (wasn't, now I know LOL), so I figured the sperm could have crawled up my leg...and I didn't know if I was having a black or white baby since I didn't know to whom the supposed condom belonged. I figured I'd take my chances since the bathtub theory sounded more plausible. Ha!!!! I was always late, and my sister had told me I must be pregnant since my period was late. I was more than 3months late when I passed that blood clot, so I figured it was my baby. I'll try to find the thread.
Gosh. I was in tears telling my mom...and she was laughing her ass off. Probably in relief taht I couldnt' be pregnant...and probably in joy that I was still obviously SOOO naive!

...as a child you laughed in sex ed when they told you that your period would amount to a tablespoon of blood, cos you were expelling blood by the pint. ...you don't bother explaining how much pain you're in. The bags under the eyes and claw hands say it all. ...your knowledge of painkillers, birth control and all known interactions with these drugs puts your pharmacist to shame. ...you know you should be happy if your period is a little late cos it's a few days off from the pain, but you're just suspicious of the nasty surprise your body has in store. ...you have no sympathy for women approaching menopause. You did all that after your last op and had 5 years worth of menopause crammed into 6 months. And you have never looked the same.

i totally agree cherry, after having faced forced and instant menopause at age 23 (and i know many others have at a similarly young age) it is so hard to look at older women approaching menopause in the same way!! I can't help but think, at least it is happening naturally for you!

AHH i love it jenaya!!
- when your medicine cabinet looks like a pharmacy - you carry pain killers with you EVERYWHERE - you laugh when people tell you they have advil if you need it - you cant stop buying sweatpants - your coworkers can count on you for drugs, tens units and heating pads - you dont dare take all of your vacation days at once - you trade getting fat for trying to get rid of your pain - you wonder whats going on when your not curled in fetal position on the floor and think maybe you should see a doctor - you've been through more doctors than you have fingers - having surgery is no longer a big deal, you're a pro - you've researched getting a lower body transplant
