<p>I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and what they did/do about it. Just as a warning, there is probably TMI in some parts and a lot of talk of bleeding. My doctor never marked anything as a "follow up" even though I went back countless times for the same issue, and now I have no insurance and a ton of bills to pay...Just hoping to find something close to an answer or a solution...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So after giving birth (vaginally) I hemorrhaged bad. A couple times per hour, for just over 9 hours, the nurse would come in and push down on my stomach really hard to pump out a softball sized blood clot. I was going through several of their giant pads every hour and went through tons of sheets and gowns. I was in the hospital for 5 days, being pushed around in a wheelchair because I was too weak to stand or even hold my baby for more than a few minutes at a time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I bled heaviest the first week, then stopped within the next.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was unable to breastfeed because I had absolutely no supply from the start.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>About 2 months later, I had a horrible 2 week, gushing hemorrhaging-like period. I could literally feel "gushes" and "chunks" leaving my body. With the severe ones, I would get extremely dizzy. If I got up too fast, moved too quickly, or stood for too long, I would get dizzy and almost pass out. I couldn't trust myself to even hold my baby because that would tire me out within minutes and a few times I almost fell while carrying him. After 5 days I called my doctor. I had to call back 3 times to get them to understand something was not normal and that this was not a normal period. By the time I was seen I was in week 2 of the bloody massacre. My doctor thought it had just started that day and was surprised I bled so much for so long. He wanted to ignore it and wait for the next period to come along. Just told me to "take it easy."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He scheduled me blood tests and an ultrasound after my second one came around 3 weeks later just as bad as the first. All tests were in the "normal" range, but close to the "abnormal" ranges (if that makes sense). He claimed I had major calcification on my uterus, which he said was "extremely rare and strange for vaginal deliveries", but decided to "ignore it and see if it causes problems later."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It has been just over 6 months since I have given birth. Every now and then I swear I feel my uterus contract really hard, and its painful. When it does this a lot, I randomly bleed. I usually have about 2 random bleeds between periods. My periods are still heavy, long and I pass a lot of grape sized chunks. I've been on birth control pills for about 4 months.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is it possible that there could still be placenta pieces in my uterus? Or that having them in there as long as i did caused something else to take longer to heal?</p>
<p>And has anyone ever had "Calcification" on their uterus? My doctor really didn't tell me anything other than its extremely rare and strange for a vaginal delivery and that he just wanted to wait to see if it caused problems.</p>
