hello minti parents

i havent been very active on minti for tha last couple of weeks due to some medical problems.

it all started about three weeks ago when my mentrual cycle began. i am on the noristerat injection (birthcontrol) for over a year and have never had problems with it in the past. in fact it actually helped to calm down my heavy periods and severe cramping since i have been on it.

all went well for the first two to three days when i noticed that it was not just a regular period, i was bleeding heavily and was in severe pain. then it went away for about three days. i went out on the 1st of feb with a friend for the day and while we were out swimming i felt a sharp menstrual like cramp coming on and to my embarrisment my friend told me to get out of the waves coz there was blood coming out of me and not just a little quite alot. ever since sunday i now have the cramps constantly and i bleed quite bad. i first thought that it might just be from my birthcontrol injection but then i did some research and found out that i have the symptoms of a tear in the uterus or uteral lining.

i had a ceaser when i had my son and now i fear that i might have a tear on the scar of the ceaser. when i get the cramps its one particular spot inside a bit to the left.

i feel sick all the time with the blood loss i have been having and dont know if i should rather go see a gynea or wait it out and see what happens. im fed up with blood!

can anyone please give some advice on what i can do????
