So for the past five days or so I have been having really bizarre vaginal bleeding. It started on day 20 of my cycle, (my period usually comes on day 30) I was passing small blood clots for around an hour and then the bleeding stopped again for around 12 hours. It continued doing the start-stop bleeding for a couple more days.

Now it’s continuing to start and stop, but what’s changed is the amount I’m bleeding. Today I woke up and blood started running down my legs (I ruined 3 pairs of pants due to blood today). The bleeding stopped for an hour and then it would get really intense for 5 minutes. I was bleeding so heavily for those few minutes that I couldn’t get off the toilet because it was a steady flow of blood. I’ve been cold and shaky today, which I presume was because of the blood loss?

Has this happened to anybody here before? If so, what did you do to stop it? Does this warrant my seeking medical attention? Please get back to me, it’s making me really anxious.
