Question 1

is withdrawal bleeding from plan b shedding of uterine lining?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Shedding of uterine lining is what happens with your menses and in the case of plan b, assuming it worked, that would be the result as well.  However, Plan B doesn't always work.  Consider check a pregnancy test about 2 weeks after Plan B use.

Question 2

how long does it take the body to shed 11mm of uterine lining? i missed 1 period now  have been bleeding for past 4 weeks and still have 11mm left

Accepted Answer

That is impossible: To say but the answer to solving it easy.  You need about 10 days of 5-10 mg of Medroxyprogesterone to organize the lining and have an orderly withdrawel bleed.  You may not ovulate regularly and not produce much of your own progesterone, responsible for orderly withdrawel bleeding.  Look up pcos, it may fit u; if so metformin may be a good drug.  Good luck.

Question 3

i've had a dark almost black discharge for about 5 days now with decent shedding of the uterine lining my last period was  march 3rd w/ 32 day cycle?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal bleed: Studies show that when bleeding occurs around the time of implantation, which in your case happened at about day 14, it may be related to pregnancy. A full history and exam are indicated. Please call your OB/GYN right away and if you have any abdominal pain, discomfort, breast tenderness associated go to the ER. Good luck.

Question 4

i am shedding clumps of uterine lining but not bleeding. i have been experiencing pms symptoms the past week. i have jaydess/skyla iud. ?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes one does: see more decidual (lining) tissue than blood in a menstrual period...rarely the whole uterine lining will be passed in one piece...a decidual cast. This will usually be an isolated event, and the next period will have the usual lining mixed with blood.  The Skyla IUD is associated with lighter periods as well. If persists/more questions, return to your Doc. Good wishes:)

Question 5

when the uterine lining sheds, can it leave a scar?

Accepted Answer

No scar: The uterine lining, the endometrium, gets thicker during the first half of the menstrual cycle such as to provide a cushion for a fertilized egg to implant. When there is no fertilized egg implanting, the uterus with contractions (cramps) loosens and sheds the inner lining, making clots appear in menstrual blood. This process is not associated with scarring.

Question 6

i understand that during your period, the uterine lining sheds. i check every month and noticed this month it didn't come out. what could that mean?

Accepted Answer

Lining of the uterus: When a woman has a regular period the lining of the uterus always sheds, whether her normal periods are light and short or long and heavy.  Some women see just blood with their period, others see what looks like tissue or blood clots.  Either way, if it is a normal period for her, she shed the lining of the uterus.  Bleeding that is abnormal may not be shedding the lining.

Question 7

since your uterine lining sheds during your period, having unprotected sex days leading up to your period wont end up in pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Some basics: Pregnancy has occasionally been documented at any day of a woman's cycle including during menses. It is not common but can happen. If it matters I would not use this time interval as if it were free from the possibility of pregnancy.

Question 8

1 week after plan b use, my uterine lining shedded...could i consider this early period and not pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: Potential side effects w emergency contraception includes menstrual flow changes (spotting, bleeding, early or late period), nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, headache, breast tenderness &amp; abdominal pain or cramps. Take pregnancy test &amp; notify dr if your period is 7 or &gt; days late.

Question 9

i had unprotected sex approximately a week before my period. i had a regular cycle and about a week later i became pregnant, why is this if during your period, the uterine lining sheds?

Accepted Answer

Translation: Pregnancy has occasionally been documented at any day of a woman's cycle including during menses. It is not common but can happen. If enough uterine lining remains to support the incoming conceptus ( which is quite tiny) and continues to form fast enough to support the embryo it will proceed to a normal pregnancy.

Question 10

so i didn't get a period for 3 months, up until valentine's day, and i'm still bleeding 30+ days later. do you think the uterine lining just built up over the three months so it's taking a while to shed it all? or could it be something else?

Accepted Answer

: You should see a gynecologist for hormone imbalance. Good luck!
