My normal cycle is usually 7 days of menses with the first 2-3 days heavy. This month I have had 3 very light periods lasting no more than 5 days with about 12 days in between. Today is May 21 and I am on day 3 of my 3rd light period. My last period was about two weeks ago but before that period I had a very light period about 10 days before. I have never taken the pill and although I am sexually active with my fiance we use protection.
then last year every 2 weeks lasting for 3 weeks, then 3 weeks on... one week off... It went on and on like this for over a year. Mentally and physically draining and I became anemic.
I had a endometrial uterine ablation in Dec. 09 .
Now I have very light or NO period since.... My other option was Birth control pills which I said No.
Please talk to your gyn dr. and see if any of these options would help you.

And I have had my period but they've been a day or so late, but they've been short and heavy... usually my periods last five days but they've been lasting about 2-3 days... what can cause this or can it be a sign of pregnancy? I've taken tests but they've came up negative.. any help?

i have always had regular periods, lasting 5days on a 28day cycle, but in the last 10 weeks my cycle has suddenly changed dramatically. in the last 10 weeks i have had 5 periods each lasting 7 days, they have all been very heavy and quite painful, with only 7days between each period. what could be causing this? is this normal or could there be something wrong.? will i still be ovulating? could this be a sign of pregnancy? ovarian cancer? or is it normal for this to happen?
She feels like she is going to bleed to death at times and it scares her. Her periods can also last almost two weeks with these heavy days lasting 2-3 days and sometimes another heavy day during the end. She is wondering if it is best she get a hysterectomy because the fibroids do not seem to be going away and the fear of bleeding to death during her period is always there. Her cardiologist does not want her going off the warfarin for any reason, but these periods are getting intolerable.
I used to be a regular 5 day cycle. Easy to to spot and tell how my cycle would be(heavy, light,spotting) I'm TTC #2 and paying attention to my cycles I became more aware each cycle has been regular in timing but flow has gone to three days, obgyn is not worried about how long period is lasting as much as at least I am having one. Which was important.
always good to see a Dr if you need the reassurance. Every woman is different.
You could have ployps or fibroids - both can cause heavy bleeding and long periods.
Go see your general practioner for a referral to a gynaecologist.
However, within these past few months, I had a period two weeks apart and this past one was 7 weeks apart both lasting only 2 days and staying moderately heavy and then just ending. I wasn't even sure that last one was a period because it was so short and so close to my last one but it was this same length this time as well! I've taken multiple pregnancy tests that have all come back negative. I am not stressed but have increased my workout frequency.
Hi, I'm 14. I had my first period in mid January. At that time, I was bleeding like HELL. heavy bleeding.. and it lasted 3 1/2 weeks. My mom didn't say anything was wrong, but just the fact that it was probably heavy because I was older and only got it now. But I'm still kind of freaked out. Since then, I've had 3 other periods. One lasted a normal week, while the other, 2 or 3 days. I am on my period once again and heavy bleeding LIKE CRAZY. any help? Is this just normal..??

Most times, my periods would be heavy for a few days then I'd start to get a brown discharge that slowly turns into my regular discharge(this whole thing usually lasts a little over a week). Sometimes(this is happening now), I would have excessive black/brown discharge after the normal bleeding. However, this time around.... it seems to be lasting forever. I'm coming close to 2 weeks now. Is this okay?
Hi, I have been having really heavy periods for 8 months lasting 9-10 days each months as well as bleeding between periods, but for the last 3 months my period has completely stopped.

I hhave been gaining weight and having really weird cravings. My boobs are growing and nipples are showing bigger bumps on aerola and browning. I have taken 4 HPT and they have came out negative. Can i still be pregnant?
Hello,
As a treatment for heavy periods, novasure ablation is done which is a procedure that gently removes the lining of the uterus—the part that causes the bleeding. Women with heavy or long-lasting periods who do not wish to have children in the future may be candidates for the NovaSure procedure. Hence it is better to get a uterine biopsy done first to confirm the diagnosis and then go in for this procedure.
