I want kids but I'm a bleeder...? |
I'm 23 years old and I have always wanted to have my own kids, I'm not ready for kids just yet, but I do want to start getting ready. After 12 years of really bad periods, usually lasting 2 or more weeks and or having more than one period a month I was tested for my blood clotting time. I have a slower clotting time than normal. I don't show any signs of Von Willebrand's. I have done some research online and found that most women who have bleeding disorders have high risk pregnancies and often miscarry. My doctor also informed me that this is very important to know going into a pregnancy. Obviously I know my doctor is the best resource, but I want to know what other women who have bleeding disorders went through. Did you have miscarriages, were you successful in having a healthy baby, what was the pregnancy like? I really want to have kids but I want to know realistically what I'm up against. Also, do you know of any books that would help me learn more? Thanks for your help Seriously people, I'm not joking about this, only answer this question if you are going to give advice, not be stupid and make jokes. I'm getting married soon and we would like to start a family just want some more information. Please take this question seriously. Thank you! First, let's get those menstrual cycles under control. It should last only 3 days. That's more than enough time to flush out your uterus. Anything more and it sounds like you are so heavy that you flush out all your sodium and electrolytes and you can't retain your water. A glass of orange juice or a sports drink would replenish you enough to slow it down on the 4th day. Another glass on the 5th day should make you taper off so there's just a bit of drainage. A little more spotting and draining after that would be about normal. If it's not effective, by all means drink more. Be aware that it could make you cramp and become terribly thirsty. Take it slowly, and don't expect everything to be fine over night. You should feel more like yourself in a couple of days after heavy flow has stopped. |
