@emodica, I’m glad you found Mayo Clinic Connect and have connected with members willing to share their experiences.
You’ve described two frightening episodes of significant blood loss, and I can understand why you don’t want to wait for another one before getting more answers.
It sounds like you’re preparing some thoughtful questions for your upcoming appointment. In addition to exploring how the source of bleeding might be identified, have you and your doctors discussed a plan for what to do if another episode occurs, especially if you’re away from home?
I hope you’ll consider sharing what you learn from your follow-up. Your experience may help others navigating similar uncertainties.
