Common Questions and Answers about Heavy periods pads

period

The next period was 40 days and not as hard. I began the pills on that period and have started another BAD period now... pad an hour - before the pill pack is even done and not in the plecibo line of pills yet. I have to set my alarm during the night to wake up an change my pad or my bed will look like a murder took place. Calling the doctor today, he said to stop the pill pack and begin a new pack on Sunday.
i'm having a heavy period... literally heavy meaning i change pads about 6 times a day... i also have terrible cramps radiating to mostly right leg. AF is unusualy sticky/concentrated meaning when i sit down the toilet, it would drip in clots. I also take pain meds every 6 hours bcoz i can't take the pain and use hot water bottle on my abdomen. my back hurts too.... i've never had this since 10 years ago... should i see my OB?
I would get some medium to heavy flow tampons (if you use tampons) or some medium to heavy flow pads if you use pads. Maybe you could borrow a cute clutch or purse from one of your friends if you don't already have one so you can bring some extra supplies with you. Drinking water can help you feel less bloated and if you can get some exercise in the morning before you start all of your prom preperation that can help you feel less bloated too.
Ok, so my period is CRAZY HEAVY. I'm only 14 and i bleed through an Ultra Super Tampon in 2 hours. IS THIS NORMAL???
i am 24 years old im not sexually active i started when i was 11 and since i turned 18 ive had issues with my period now i have been on it for 3 weeks and now im so heavy i cant even wear a pad for more than an hour and its full and these heavy blood clots are comming out and i have had very severe cramps im not on the pill what should i do.
The last few months my period has been so heavy I end up having to change tampons every 2 to 3 hours. Now I'm back to pads and soaking them so fast it is becoming frustrating. Anything suggesting would be great.
I gave birth 3 months ago and got my first period the second month after birth it lasted 5 days now 2 weeks later I have a heavy period.I have to change pad every 1-2 hours.I also have lower back pain and abdominal pain.Is this normal?
I mean I can't leave the house because I soak through a super plus tampon and heavy duty pad every half hour... I can't stand it anymore.. A month after I had my daughter I had to go to the er because it was literally a waterfall and they said it was normal because I just had a baby. I guess my question is has anyone else had extreamly heavy and irregular periods after a tubal and is it normal?
Typically I am a healthy (overwieght) 41 year old with children - no problems with pregnancy/childbirth. This period is very heavy where sometimes the flow just gushes and includes a very large (ping pong ball sized) clot or more than one. This even woke me up last night and I barely made it to the bathroom on time. Past periods have been heavy and even sometimes painful but never with such large clots or unpredictable flow.
Maybe ask. Heavy periods are the worst! I remember when I was a kid, my mom would wear two pads, one on bottom and one on back of panties so that she would not leak everywhere and then have to sleep on a towel! She had a hysterectomy when I was 16 and has never been happier!
unless your period is extremely heavy (which some are) the water should not turn a cloudy red colour, just ad it does not normally do so in a bath. In a pool there is more water and so a smaller concentration of blood in the water itself. As for hygeine, I agree with the people who have mentioned that many younger children (and I am sure some adults) urinate in pools. Everybody sweats while swimming, and there are many other bodily fluids e.g.
hi there i miscarried 10 weeks ago and on june 4th i got my period it is now the 8th and i am bleeding really heavy and changing my pad every hour or 2 my periods have never been like this ... Is this because i recently micarried or something else?
I would think that now you're bleeding from your cervix and your period and that's why you're using up all your pads. Maybe you should go to the ER if you're already feeling weak.
I took my nuva ring out on Tuesday and didn't see any period until Friday night not much on Saturday but today i have gone through a whole pack of pads about (10-12) ive never seen my period this heavy before, each pad has been full. Ive not been very active this week - not done much - in fact all day today i have slept and not had any energy. Not sure why im having such a heavy period - just wondering if this sounds normal to any of your cycles or could it be my birth control?
If you have to start changing your pad within an hour then I would see a Dr immediately, otherwise if it stays as it is now then I would think it is just a particularly heavy period. If the period lasts longer than 7 days and is still heavy then again i would advise going to see a Dr.
I HAVE HAD A VERY LONG PERIOD, IT'S GOING ON ALMOST A MONTH. IT HAS BEEN VERY HEAVY AND I HAVE HAD ALOT OF CLOTTING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE TO ME AND THE DR CALLED ME THE NON COMPLIANT PATIENT BECAUSE THE ONLY ANSWER WAS TO PUT ME ON BIRTH CONTROL AND I REFUSED. I FEEL VERY SICK AND AM MOODY WHEN ON BIRTH CONTROL. I DONT WANT TO BE ON IT. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANY OTHER NATURAL THINGS THAT I CAN TRY TO STOP THIS PERIOD CYCLE. I HAVE GONE THROUGH SO MANY PADS AND TAMPONS.
I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was only 14 years old, due to very heavy periods, although they were normal in length & came on time. I'm 24 now, and for about the past two years I've had nothing but problems. I will go for 7 months with out a period, then I will bleed HEAVY for about 3 months. I've been to the doctor more times than I can remember, but nothing they do seems to help any in the long run. I am very frustrated.
Today, I'm having horrible abdominal cramping not unlike afterpains that I have experienced after giving birth, but my period's back to normal. Could this just be a heavy period (my periods are pretty heavy anyway)that because I missed in February it's just trying to flush everything out and regulate itself, or does it sound like a miscarriage?
i went through two pantiliners with some actual dark blood but nothing like a normal period for me. as the day has continued i have put on a pad and i can feel blood flow, and it is a lighter red color, accompanied by cramps in my uterine area and some minor lower back pain. i have always had these symptoms on my menstural cycle but im not due for my next period until the end of next week. could i be pregnant and need to see a doctor? or is this a heavy implantation bleeding im experiencing.
I dont think it has to do with being overweight, when i was younger i was very thin and i always had really heavy periods too. LIke changing a pad every hour or 2. Now ive had a baby almost a yr ago and cant seem to lose weight but my periods are not that heavy as they use to be. Try getting on b.c.
Hello, Menopause is the most common cause of heavy bleeding.it acuss hormonal imbalance which can cause irregular and heavy or scanty periods.How old are you? Menopause can occur in age 40-55 but premenopause is not the only cause of irregular and constant bleeding in periods.Other causes are there. Excessive amount or duration of menstrual flow, at more or less regular intervals is called menorrhagia.
i put a tampon in and i was having mild cramps throughout the day. the bleeding was kind of heavy. but i'm not due for my period for 4-5 more days. could this be implantation bleeding? i haven't had any pregnancy symptoms other than mild nausea and fatigue. i also took a pregnancy test the night before i got the bleeding/cramps and it was negative. is there a chance i could still be pregnant?
My period came a week early this month - it is usually to the day every 29 days. It was very heavy the first 2 days - like a pad every hour or so. I lost so much blood that I felt faint. I had a lot of cramping (more than usual) and a severe migraine. Now after 4 days it has taperd off to almost nothing. Could this just be a "normal" period or was it maybe a miscariage? Can you miscarry that early?
For 11 days now Ive had my period, it started out as light brown spotting and for the past couple days its been very heavy red blood. Meaning the whole toilet paper is coverd and the pad soaked. I called the nurse and she said it is not normal. I had my son 2 mos ago on Aug 2nd. got my period on Sept 27th. 2 days ago I had a pain in my left side for 2 days.....it went away now....im not feeling like myself. What could it be?
I have always been an extremely heavy bleeder during my periods, with a lot of large clots. The Always seem to do a good job for me, so I think I will stick with those for now. Thank you ladies. I will deffinately be sure to use what they give me though!! I'm paying for it right!! Hahaha!! I am probably going to go c-section. However I was talking to my girlfriend the other day and she said for natural births, you get pads with ice packs in them.....
menstual cycles, cramping to the point of passing out, vomiting due to the pain, and heavy flow - to the point of through a pad in 1-2 hours - so using a pad was worrisome. I've always been concerned of it overflowing and running down my leg (has happened) seeing it through clothing etc. Plus they are uncomfortable. The problem is finding a tampon that is comfortable to wear. I bounced around many brands for years.
