d say your period is the victim of hormonal changes. Heavier bleeding when on a period is common or menopause AND spotting like you describe also can happen. Talk to your doctor next time you see them. Mine says my few days of heavy bleeding are normal even though I went through 40 plus years of a different type of period preceding it.
m very sorry that u experiencing this, I had a heavy period this month with some big block of clots but with no signs of pain or discomfort expert when the clots come out. went to the doctor and he said this may be because of stress and going through different emotions which indeed it was. he gave me some medicine and pain killer and now in same month my period was due which come one day before its due. it got heavy first day but the nxt day it was light very light with small clots.
I usually have a normal 5 day medium/heavy flowing period. But this past cycle it was flowing for two days without any clots, and then it stopped completely for almost a full day. I started spotting very lightly for the next couple of days. I took two pregnancy test as soon as it stopped and they both said negative. I haven't changed my diet or anything like that! Anyone have an explanation?
I have been bleeding for over 3 weeks, extremely heavy with clots, and very bad cramps. I am 47 years old I realize it is menopause, but when should I be concerned?
Each lasted for two weeks long and were heavy and very watery. I bled twice in August. And just had a period from August 30th to Sep 5th which was very heavy and watery. So far I have had no more bleeding this month....yet. on top of the frequent periods my other symptoms are insomnia, fatigue from lack of sleep, mood swings, irritability,vaginal dryness, dry skin, hair shedding, frequent bathroom trips and I'm not pregnant, NO sex drive whatsoever.....
Hello maybe you can help me out my question is that it has been 4 month since I got my period and I thought I was pregnant but I have check my self and its always negative and I thought its just I am staring to have symptoms of menopause so help me out.............
I am 60 yrs old and haven't had a period in almost 12 yrs. Apprximately 3 weeks ago I started having a bloody (very light) dark discharge. It never goes away. I have no other symptons. I haven't been to the doctor in about 27 yrs. What could be wrong?
These weird things happen at the start of and during menopause. So are heavy periods that go on 2 weeks or more, and 2-3 months or so without a period. Ovulation gets all messed-up so intervals between periods go wacky.
But it's always best to have an obs/gyn referral from your doctor, and get checked out thoroughly so you can rule out any other problem first. (I was a regular visitor to my ob/gyn specialist for a couple of years!! They got sick of seeing me!
Hi there. Welcome to the group! I'll check more often if you are visiting to chat!! I have been there done that with the menopause process. Let me just say this, it was NOT how I imagined and I found out later, I had kind of a common pattern. I did start with some abnormal cycles. Not in that they were spaced out weird, I actually was more on time than ever . . . but that it was significant bleeding. Like call an ambulance, I'm not going to make it bleeding.
A typical pattern for women is to actually continue to have a regular period but have spotting about a week beforehand and then the period comes very heavy for two days and starts to dissipate on day three. So, very heavy and then gone quickly. That is a very common pattern. If you are having long spaces between periods, I'd say to perhaps get a thyroid test at age 46.
I am 54 and have not had my period for 4 months, I thought I was in menopause but just got my period this morning. is this normal? am I in menapause or not? I don't have symtpoms from my period so I don't know if I will have any symptoms for menopause, what are the symtoms and how long do they last?
I should start by saying that I have always been extremely regular, with a 26 day cycle. Well this past cycle, I began to feel like I was ovulating early, on day 8. (my period was heavy but short), then we had intercourse without protection for the first time in 3 years. A week later, we did the same thing.
Well, I was hoping that maybe I could have gotten pregnant from this.
I'm 47 and my period has always been pretty normal until I started having kids. They became heavier & a day or to longer. Now Sept had no period & Oct. November it has been heavy & two weeks long. For november it is going on day 15. No oder, discoloration & clots like in the past. No pain either.
I have not had a period in about a year and a half. This month I had a heavy discharge, after having hardly any discharge. I used to have normally heavy discharge pre menopause. I also broke out with two zits on my face. The same symptoms when I ovulated in the past or had my period. The discharge is white/clear with no smell. Is it possible to ovulate after menopause or can anyone tell me if they had this before and what could cause it. Thank you for your help.
my question is should I be worried because my period actually came down and it was heavy...is this a early sign or menopause or should I seek help...
Thank You eve for responding! Yes I have n apt with my male doc on Monday.Well,no symptoms besides the shocking of a heavy period lead me to think something could be the awful word of cancer.Im hypochrondriac n that tells you a lot.
I guess I don't know quite as much as I thought I did with menopause,n that's why I panicked when all of a sudden my period came heavy compared to the last 6-7 months of light.Thank you so much for your comment,it has relieved my mind a little.
I have always had heavy and very painful cramps. At first I was not worried because it would not last more than 2-3 days, and it always starts around the 14th day after my period started(ovulation time).In Feb. I started my period on the 12th. It lasted til the 18th. Then on the 26th. I started to bleed again,but this time it did not stop.It had got lighter as the days went.Then on March 12th I started bleeding heavy like my normal period.So far I have not had and bleeding thru this mth.
Iv'e had it since Aug. 30th of 2011. I just started my period on Tuesday and it's still heavy like I just started. I hope it doesn't last 3 weeks! or 4 months! And I definitly don't want to gain 30 lbs..
Thanks very much - I suspect your right!
Hi I am 47 years old, I have been on a non-stop period for over 8 months,extreme weight gain over the last yr,almost 80 lbs. Sometimes going though 2 boxes of tampons a day. Tired, dizzy,sharp pains can't sleep,skin changing,headaches. At this point getting kind of scared. Feeling like a prisoner in my own home, Scared to leave never knowing when the bleeding going to hit hard.I have always been active but now no matter what I do I can not even lose a pound. I have an appt to go see Dr.
I know during my time of going through menopause, I was regular but my gosh, my cycles were so heavy. I guess that is not uncommon. The first few days of my period were rough. I did have hormonal changes that included lots of breast tenderness when pregnant AND during the menopause years as hormones were shifting. If your period is at all regular,can you test when you get to the 2.5 week point past when it's due?
