I Have Been Bleeding For Months Now (between Really Light To Really Heavy) And I Don’t Have Insurance. What Should I Do?

On the heavy days I lose clots that range to tiny all the way to 1/3 the size of my palm. I’m gay so there’s no way I’m miscarrying.

I understand this problem. I have been bleeding every day since December 8, 2022. I similarly have clots that are varying sizes, similar to yours. It is scary, and I am so sorry you are going through this. I recently got a hysteroscopy and found out that my PCOS caused growths of polyps and fibriods. The cause could be different for you, but always worth talking to a doc and checking on the abnormal bleeding. I will also note that my bleeding has gone so long that Ive become anemic and passed out/broke my leg recently. I highly recommend asking your doctor about taking iron supplements if the bleeding continues to avoid any issues. I personally take 65mg of iron every day, which you can get from any pharmacy off the shelf, but defer to docs. Sending hugs and support from Virginia!
