Get a second opinion. I was told my body was reacting to my birth control but I ended up with uterine polyps. My first provider gas lit me but my second provider scheduled an ultrasound and proved I wasn’t crazy. I was bleeding like crazy. My iron was so low I was sleeping all the time, having headaches, plus my hair/nails were dry and breaking.

I ended up with a hysterectomy and It was the best choice ever.

That happened to me. Ended up being a cyst on my ovaries and also had fibroids on my uterus.

It certainly sounds like something’s not right. I developed uterine fibroid tumours during pregnancy and afterwards my periods were worse than aweful. Would bleed through a super tampon, super pad and my clothes in an hour. Went on depro provera (sorry for the bad spelling) for 12 years and finally agreed to surgery. Should have had the surgery much sooner.
