Please don't be a nervous wreck. You do not sound like you have any "emergency" symptoms. If you have any dizziness, dehydration, fatigue...any symptom that is unusual or would be considered an emergency, you should call 911 (just as anyone should). Since you have been living with these symptoms for a month, you can be confident that you are doing a GOOD thing by taking care of your body!
Call Planned Parenthood first thing, and let us know what they say. They should be able to see you for an appointment, or know where to refer you. Do you have a PP clinic nearby that offers women's services? If you do not trust your doctor, I would not go back to that OB/GYN. Let me know if I can help you find a Planned Parenthood in your area that provides gynecological services, or you can just go to their website: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-center/
I understand what you mean by EVERYthing is different...I just had a baby (my 2nd) 4 months ago. I would love to talk about other things that are going on in your life, if you need to talk! First things first, though...let's get this excessive bleeding symptom taken care of.
Please don't worry; once you see the doctor for an examination, please know MANY women have trouble with excessive bleeding. There are treatment options available, and you can find places that provide services on a "sliding scale" or provide a 20%-50% "self pay" discount (you probably already have done this with having a pregnancy and no maternity insurance like I had to...no fun).
