Ok, so... sometimes I wake up to a nosebleed in the middle of the night or sometime in the morning. (My morning can be early day for my timezone or 8 to 12 hours after I fell asleep -- or both! For once.)
Today's fun was: both nostrils, a blood clot (sized the area of my middle finger nail or slightly more), and I am STILL spitting blood hours later.
The spit ups are the area of my pinkie finger nail. I spit them up every 5 or 10 minutes.
I'm pretty sure this was a posterior nose bleed, judging from where the itchy congestion feeling is, since the nose part stopped. (Posterior means toward back; anterior means towards nose.) It feels like it's way at the back of my throat, maybe near my uvula.
Period soon, so maybe I should take some iron pills. At least the Kyleena IUS coil (omfg?!) reduces heavy period flow a bit. Mirena IUS coil can stop periods, 'Amenorrhea', due to more progestogen in it. I love that, but I didn't realise a lower dose one was available, so the mood alterations should be better this time, too.
