When I was a teen, I had the worst periods imaginable. I would pass huge clots, be bed ridden for two days, and vomit, get migranes, back pain, the works.

Well, after I "found" aunt flo yesterday, it only took a few hours for her to put me on my back. I took percocet, tylenol, heat, lay in every position possible, and had no relief. I was in tears most of the night from the pain.

Well upon checking to change my pad (I don't use tampons) I noticed that I had passed a rather sizeable piece of tissue. This has only happened to me once before, probably about 7 years ago, and I was too scared of it to do anything about it. It's light pink/grayish, a little veiny, and has no stretch to it. After the surrounding blood is washed off, it's not bleeding or bloody. (I know this sounds so gross that I examined it but I was tempted to take it in to the doctor to have it analyzed and didn't want to bring in a bloody mess). I remember last time this happened I wondered whether I had miscarried or something like that, but this time, i KNOW i was not pregnant due to all the negative pregnancy tests I took in the days leading up to this, and the 3 days of low temps prior to my period.


Has anyone ever experienced this before? I've taken some pain meds today and they've helped a little, enough so i can sit at the computer for a few minutes but I'll probably go back to bed soon.
Does anyone know? I've tried googling it but didn't find anything conclusive.

Oh my! I have no idea what that could be but it doesn't sound pleasant at all. Maybe call up your doctor and ask about it.

sorry hun I'm not sure...hope you find out! Didn't want to read and run

sorry, i'm not sure either. hopefully the dr can help out.

I had something like that once too. The doctor told me it was a "buildup of tissue or uterine lining" or something like that. I hope you can get it figured out. <3

i hope that's all it is. somedaymama, did they tell if if it would have any affect on ttc?

i have always had painfull Afs.. worse before i had kids.. this is my first proper AF in 6 years cause i had implanon in!! im happy to say it isn't so bad.. last 3 days i have been taking evening primrose oil.. on the back of the bottle it says it can help with the pain and symptoms of a period like bloating etc.. ill try anything..

Sorry your in pain i dont know what the tissue stuff could be, have you been ruled out for having Endo?? As that is a cause of very painful periods.
