The first day of bleeding was ok, but yesterday and today I have been hemoraging. I have to wear those depends with an overnight pad in it also, and am still bleeding though.

TMI, but just sitting here I can feel the blood pouring out. I'm still passing little tiny clots, which I normally do with any of my periods. And today when I took my shower and was bleeding so much, the blood smelled like iron??? Do I need to take an iron pill since I'm bleeding this much? And was your first af after miscarrying heavy?

My husband stayed home from work today(an unpaid day) to help take care of me. I feel lightheaded when I first stand and the blood really pours alot more when I stand up. I have been off my feet all day except when I have to go to the bathroom.

I would get yourself into the Dr. Sounds like what I went through. I had an infection. Don't settle for the ER.. (My experience they didn't know what they were talking about) I would get a hold of the OB/GYN on call.

The nurse is going to talk to the doctor, then call me right back.

They just called back. They asked if I was having and dizziness, weakness or anything like that, I said no. She said it is normal to bleed like this after taking the Provera for the first time, but if I start to feel dizzy to call and they will send me to get a CBC to check my blood count. I'm not passing any big blood clots, just some small ones. I'll call them again tomorrow if my bleeding is still the same.

So I'm just going to take it easy the rest of the night, and hopefully it will start to slow down by tomorrow. I'll keep you all updated.

Thanks!
