(Disclaimer: I am not a woman, but I have all the parts. If this isn't the place for me, I understand. I'll take this down if needed.)
I've been bleeding-ish for about 6 weeks now. I've had two separate days where it slowed almost to nothing before returning again. I'm starting to get concerned because I've now been nauseous for about 5 days. I'm on continuous BC to deal with suspected Endometriosis.
TMI warning: It is not spotting, it's more like the last 2-ish days of your period where you just ooze brown sludge. It's also pretty often literally black, and sometimes it's like... tinged orangey? It's really unclear how much I am bleeding because it is literally so thick it doesn't drip onto the pad unless I'm walking or moving or doing anything active. I change the pad every twelve-ish hours, but like... it's not a liquid.
Typing this out makes it sound really concerning but I've had messed up periods since I was literally 10, so maybe I'm overreacting? Or maybe I'm under-reacting? I don't really have any close female relatives to ask, my mom isn't around anymore and I don't have any sisters. I also don't really have any friends with my equipment. Google says I'm probably fine, dying, or pregnant.
