If the clotting disorder prevents use of oral BCP's (also just progesterone birth control, since clotting is also associated), this described situation may become a choice of which risk to take, or become a reason to justify hysterectomy or an attempt at endometrial ablation as an alternative. Get a second opinion from a university staff OBGYN before proceeding with either.

Call your OB/GYN: Call your surgeon. If you are bleeding more than a pad an hour, have fever, or are dizzy, or pain gets worse, go to ER.
