Started my period at 8 nothing out of the weird there,"Be regular", "keep track so you won't be surprised", and my favorite "always carry extra supplies" but I never got the concept that something like that could sneak up on someone.
Later down the road I was asked how often I bleed "like once maybe twice always year". Got pulled to the principals office big investigation over if I was abused, how, and why I didn't tell anyone.
"I'm not abused"
After After a few months they drop it.
Years go by only a few friends know I've been "gifted" only bleeding at most twice twice a year. I played sports and just lived my life.
4 years ago something happened. I woke up with an awful headache and I was pooled in blood started freaking out that in got stabbed and slept through it (?). I went to the my PCP and she yelled at me for not telling her that I don't bleed. Sent me to a specialist who told me i can't have children. Whatever i don't like kids. Never explained the blood or why I can't have kids.
A year later headache again. Blood again. Literally peeing black from all the blood. Go to ER. I do a lot of testing and scans. They tell me that obviously there its blood In my urine but they can't figure it out and think i should just go home. Went home to tired to fight.
I now get very very ill about every 3-4 months. Fever, vomiting, joints aching, blood vessels bursting all over my eyes, skin turns red and puffy.
I have been to so many doctors and come up empty I'm so tired guys. My poor husband is so stressed and I don't want him to be that way anymore. He takes such good care of me.
Please. Can someone tell me what is going on.

RN student here. Sounds like something is going on with your Fallopian tubes/uterus not being able to properly function. Have they looked for endometriosis at any point? Hormone imbalance can have a role as well
>>17305438
Sadly yes. Everything came back fine/normal.
>>17305446
Have you done any CT or MRI?
I don't have any advice for you, but can you tell me where the fuck you live so I can never move there? Your health care system is awful.
Also it's kind of weird that your mother/other caregiver didn't take you to the doctor when you got your period at 8. I got mine at 10 and my mother thought it was pretty young and took me to the GP who explained puberty and whatnot.
>>17305434
Sounds like a difficult case. Probably a complex hormonal issue or a severe case of uterine malformation and abnormal tissue growth (think extreme endometriosis).
It also sounds like whatever issue you have has gone untreated for at least 10 years, which is likely the reason you're infertile now (your uterus is likely too extensively scarred to safely support a fetus).
>Never explained the blood or why I can't have kids.
Really? What country are you in?
In some third-world countries where they don't tell you shit, they often give you a "discharge paper" with the diagnosis and some cryptic codes on it (post it if you have it, crop out the personal details).
>I played sports
What sports? This may be why your parents and school officials ignored it: for example, long-distance runners often miss many periods.
>pooled in blood
>peeing black from all the blood
Where is the blood coming from, exactly? Vaginal (ie uterus) or from the urethra (ie bladder)?
>I now get very very ill about every 3-4 months. Fever, vomiting, joints aching, blood vessels bursting all over my eyes, skin turns red and puffy.
Might be unrelated illness, but also might be autoimmune.
Does this coincide with the bleeding, or any other vaginal or urinary symptoms?
>>17305778
Yep. Nothing abnormal.
>>17305786
I basically raised myself. My dad was a full time student and worked a full time job. Mom out of the picture. I live in the good ol U.S. of A
>>17305837
I live in the southern U.S. Swimming, long distance track, soccer, and tennis. All I know is that there was a lot of blood. I didn't really dig around to figure it out the first time the second they told me it was vaginal. They always go together. First the blood then the horrible sickness. Occasionally they are coupled with complete and total sleeplessness for up to 3 days.

Have you had in investigative laparoscopy? Sounds like severe endometriosis to me, the eye trouble is puzzling me though........potentially blood pressure related due to the rapid blood loss in a shot period / stress to the bodily system.
Medfag here . 2 to 3 times a year menstration is textbook/classic anovulation and/or chronic anovulation that's changed into presenting symptoms similar to abnormal/dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
The remaining symptoms do point to something else going on..the one anon who mentioned endometriosis made a solid call. It does fit the symptoms described. Unfortunately OP, theres only a handful of things to do to determine it . Pelvic exam, ultrasound, laproscopy...and a few lab results just to rule out other oddities. Your PCP should have discussed this with you. If not, you need to get a referral to an obgyn
>>17305891
Actually no I haven't I will definitely look into this. Thanks
>>17305913
I've since changed PCP due to some residential changes. I'm hoping to find one in my current area that will over look my age and actually do the tests instead of writing it off because I'm young. But yes definitely that should have happened but I am going to look into a laproscopy to see if that will help determine what in the world is going on.
>>17305434
Have you considered contacting Dr. House?
>>17305434
>Started my period at 8 nothing out of the weird there
stopped right there because who the fuck starts their period at 8 thats weird as fuck
>>17307147
It actually isn't. Girls are starting to go through puberty much earlier. Look it up.
>>17307137
Lol I don't think I could handle the sarcasm
>>17307147
Sweetie when I wrote that I did so ironically. Yes it is odd; the other anon is also correct. Many girls are starting to hit puberty much earlier in life.
>>17305434
I've actually heard of a lot of women with your situation (unexplainable medical condition and dumbfounded medical officials). It just strikes me as odd that this happens.
The only thing I know thst helps is being a pain in the ass. Take the most anxious person who's close to you whether it's your husband or a friend or whatever. Take them and let them blow up for you. Doctor's will never ignore a famoly member or friend freaking out because no one knows what is happening.
At rhe very least you'll get a better understanding of what's going on.
A lot of fucking clueless students in this thread.
Its premature ovarian failure.
The end.
Fucking hate these "students" clogging the ed and hispotal thinking they know shit
