Avatar n tn I am using the Mirena iud to manage my bleeding and for me it has been the only thing to make it much lighter. Birth control pills didn't do that for me. However the only good thing about the pill was that I was able to skip my period if I needed it by starting a new pack when I was supposed to have my placebo week. But that only works if you're on a monophasic pill which is one that has the same amount of hormones the whole month.
Avatar f tn ve reached my 20s, my periods got significantly lighter-- they were never extremely heavy, but they used to last around 5-6 days, with days 2 & 3 being the heaviest. Now, they last around 4-5 days & the only heavy day is day 1 (& the beginning of day 2).
Avatar f tn lighter when normally it was 5-6 days heavy major CRAMPS, How ever I started taking FIBERS everyday. My periods now are 2-3 days very very light! less cramps for sure, everyone is telling me its normal that i have nothing to worry about it but Im terrified,,,, whats wrong with me?? someone also told me its because I have not been sexually active in 2 years...???
Avatar f tn I have a VERY heavy period but i am only 15 so i cant take any hormones or birth control or anything. It is so heavy i am scared to wear a regular tampon for one full class in school (one hr and 15 minutes) in fear that i will bleed through it. I have read advil makes your period lighter, but i have also read it makes it heavier. Which is it?
Avatar f tn i highly doubt you are pregnant considering that no sperms had any contact to your vagina. stress can make a period be late, shorter, and even lighter. plus not every period is the same so just b/c all your others in the past was heavy and longer doesn't mean that all of your periods will be the same. i hope this will take all your worries and stress away.

Avatar f tn The last two month my periods has been lasting 2-3 days starting off heavy then getting lighter ... Could I be pregnant although my period is not late?
Avatar f tn if your period is heavy with clots then I doubt that you are.
Avatar n tn The pill is acts different toward everyone body. The pill will make your AF lighter and shorter (sometimes). Now the pill is not 100%. If you use a condom it is also not 100%. But it will help prevent unwanted preg. If you are still have doubts go see your GYN.
Avatar f tn m 16 and up until the start of this year or last months of 2017 I used to have irregular periods but they started to beck e regular. My period are normal but also heavy at the same time that I'll have a pad with blood on it. They are always 8 days, April it was normal, on the 6 of May I got it but it on lasted six days, I was also stressing around this time so mabey that caused it and also was light but a lil heavy.
3102470 tn?1341314599 I went thru years of painful, heavy periods and DR did not have any idea what to do. I finally went to another Dr who knew how to treat the problem- it was fibroids, three big ones. I was scheduled to have them removed surgically (very easy and simple outpatient) and have not had a problem since. since you are young it may not be the same problem, maybe research endometriosis. hope you get better!
Avatar f tn t understand how my flow could change so dramaciaclly!!!!!!! From having a heavy flow and having to change 12 times to having a lighter than normal flow(for me) and changing only 3 times...(if even) cause i can't use the tampon i normally use....is a VERY VERY big differance!!!!!!! I did have unprotected sex 2 days b4 my expected period.....i couldn't possibly be pregnant!!!!! Could I?????? You canNt get pregnat 2 days b4 ur expected period......could you??????
Avatar n tn I believe that on your first days Atleast u should wear pads all day but once it's starting to get lighter as the days go by, you can start wearing panty liners less and less
Avatar n tn Im a teenager. I have very heavy flow periods & very heavy discharge. It is really aqward. Everytime i stand up after sitting for a long time.. i almost wet myself because the discharge is sooo heavy! Its really embarrassing and when im doin trampolining or athletics at school it always happens. Anyone have any advice!?
Avatar f tn Some people take birth control pills to lesson periods and to help kick start the cycle to be a different way (shorter or more regular).
Avatar f tn I've had the mirena iud since 2011 and haven't noticed any bad side effects except on the day my period comes I have really bad cramps. It only lasts for a few hours that one day. Other than that I haven't noticed anything else out of the ordinary. The insertion is really painful but once it's in you're done. And majority of women don't get a period while having mirena because they are totally lucky.
Avatar f tn Im taking TriNessa birth control and i was just wondering if the pills(or birth control pills in general) can make you have an extremely light periods or make you only have spotting or no period at all? my last period was really light and normally my periods are extremely heavy and have been till my last couple of periods. this time, i just spotted a bit and there's light blood when i wipe when going to the restroom maybe its too soon to tell but its worrying me just a lil.
Avatar n tn I would ask your doctor about this to make sure. Heavy bleeding can be signs of other other things such as an abnormal PAP or maybe something else. Normally it may be fibroids that is the most common. If it gets to heavy and that is the cause they can control it with hormones or remove the fibroids. Also, it could be endometriosis. If so it would be picked up by the uterine ultrasound too.
1842569 tn?1320917441 In my opinion, physical and pelvic examination along with blood tests and ultrasound pelvis are required to make a diagnosis. Please consult a gynecologist for that. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar f tn Will I gain weight and painful periods, heavy periods even if I use it 3-4 times? How about the post symptoms after having intercourse? will I have swelling in vagina and Clortis? Will I get infection? will I have heavy periods?Does condom have side effects as well?
480265 tn?1221244303 I tried the Progesterone cream once. It didn't seem to make a difference. If you try it, make sure you ONLY use it during your luteal phase. If you use it before it MIGHT actually cause you not to ovulate. But to increase my Progesterone I took vitamin B6 my whole cycle. That worked wonders for me to increase my luteal phase. But as far as the thin lining and lighter periods, I don't know. I had lighter periods for almost a year after stopping the pill.
Avatar n tn having irregular peiriods is normal at your age ,so dont worry and as much i know before having periods stomach usually look fat but than after periods it will get back to normal. hope this help.
