Blinking101 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Alright my girlfriends period has been lasting 9 days so far. Last night we had sex and we thought she was done with her period and today she's bleeding again and its period blood. And it's been 9 days so far and she's still on her period. Its not normal blood its "dark" "black" blood she's bleeding. Do you know what this may be? Link to comment
annie24 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 yeah, just a long period. Link to comment
Blinking101 Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 But black blood and everything? I mean we had sex and everything. But now she's bleeding alot and its black color like clotting blood. Link to comment
rose2summer Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Black blood means that the blood has been oxidized. For whatever reason, the blood was not expelled immediately and was oxidized. There is nothing to be concerned about this. It happens to every female at one time or another due to perturbations in progesterone hormone levels during the cycle. Hugs, Rose Link to comment
Blinking101 Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 Um she just called and its just comeing out in loads. And it's not stopping she's bleeding like crazy non stop. Link to comment
southerngirl Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Periods at this age can be irregular. Unless she is filling a pad /or tampon, and having to change them once an hour its not too heavy yet. She could allways call a doctor or ask her mother about it. Oh and by the way I would bet that its got nothing to do with having sex. Its just her period. Link to comment
southerngirl Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Didnt you say that she had a miscarriage not too long ago? Her body could also be trying to go back to 'normal' in that case, this could also be just part of that. Dont worry she will be okay. Us women can bleed and not die from it. Link to comment
annie24 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 miscarriage a while ago? yeah, could be that too. I think if she is concerned she should definitely consult a doctor. Many phone books have 24 hours nurses lines that are free to call, and I have found them to be a helpful resource. Look in the yellow pages for your hospital, and then see if you can find their 24 hour nurses line. Link to comment
jsx730 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 May I suggest going on birth control? 9 days seems like an awful big inconvenience. My girlfriend used to have some super heavy/painful periods (PMDD?) and now that she's on the pill, her periods last from Friday to Monday, and the only days that are even close to heavy are Fri/Sat. We had sex on her 3rd day and there wasn't a drop of blood when we were done. Link to comment
pooh-bare Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 could be ; Hormones kicking into overdrive after a miscarriage......long periods are normal for her.......nothing to worry about, unless as said above she's soaking pads/tampons every hour or so...... Link to comment
Ians Mommy Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Because of the miscarriage not that long ago it is a very possible reason why her period is so long. The doctor should have told her that when she first went. Link to comment
