1852119 tn?1319468508 My periods have always been a bit all over the place but recently since April/May I am having dark brown vaginal discharge then bleeding for a few days every month. Nothing extremely heavy or painful but medium flow I would say and some cramping. Then on August 4th I took an extremely heavy period and then again on September 17th, I worked it out on a period calculator that I should have ovulated last Tuesday 18th October and sure as hell that day the brown discharge started to appear.
1820896 tn?1317207595 I was recently put on the pill because of my heavy periods and small fibroids..My side effects bothered me so I stopped taking them. Now I have an abnormal mammo test. Besides the pill what can I take for my heavy periods.
53833 tn?1234996629 I am 49 and been having 2 peroids a month for about the last 2 years, and then this past year, Iam down to every other month. Which makes the next month HORRIBLE with heavy bleeding and heart palps. Thought I was having mild hot flashes until I had a real one, just about freaked me out. Those things are awful. But bc Iam still having peroids, I am not sure if I should be looking for horomal creams or such stuff to ease better into this.
Avatar f tn I had extremely heavy periods when I was first getting my period at 11, same thing it would come for a week, very heavy throughout, stop for a week-2 weeks, start again, etc. I had a lot of embarrassing accidents, it was horrible. I had to go to the doctors because it was making my iron levels very low, so I was put on a iron supplement and my mom says I was also on a low dose asprin every day to help lighten things up.
Avatar f tn Im 19 and have always had pretty regular periods... its usually moderately heavy the first 2 days and then starts to get lighter till the 5th day. i usually have cramps on the first 2 days that are manageable with a couple tylenol.
Avatar f tn just keep tracking your cycles and they should become more consistent...do you know whether or not you O on your own? If you do I would BD every other day starting at CD8 and then everyday from CD14-16...then resume every other day...that's what I did this cycle along with drinking grapefruit juice which made me have very fertile CM...I got a BFP yesterday so it is very possible for you to get pregnant...good luck...
Avatar n tn Like another comment said, birth control can help with long or heavy periods. It has been prescribed by many doctors for those specific reasons.
Avatar f tn I am having 2 periods in 1 month and it is happening quite regularly (not every moth but quite regularly). Thsi month, my second period is REALLY heavy and has been quite painful (I dont usually get period pains but this time they have been quite severe). It happened at university when I wasnt eating very much, but now I am eating "normally" (definately enoug)...what could it be?
1416390 tn?1333901604 I had a c section 20 mos ago. since then my periods have been really heavy and there is always a day I seem to gush blood. Well- my period came a week early this month and last night I seemed to have passed a lot of blood- that seemed really red. Now that I am up it does not seem to be flowing so strong. I don't have any pain- slight cramping. I am not sure whether I should go to the ER or not- hate to go if it is just my period! Just seems odd there was so, so much.
53833 tn?1234996629 This is at age 46 after a lifetime of regular, heavy flow, intensely crampy but predictable periods lasting 5 to 7 days every 28 days, which last year turned into periods lasting 8 to 10 days with extremely heavy flooding. When will there be an end to this madness? It seems like I get about 3 days a month where I feel like my normal self, then it all starts again.
Avatar n tn I know a lot of women have 2 periods in one month, but most of the cases I've heard about have been instances where the periods are at least a week apart. I just had my regular period and it ended two days ago. Then suddenly, i started heavy bleeding again today. Could this mean that I'm pregnant?
Avatar f tn What about the sudden veins on my boobs ?
1397702 tn?1280927591 I have been having periods every other month, which the doc would like it to come every month for only 7 days. But I would say to call the doc on monday, and see if they can see you. It is not normal to have periods for longer then 7 days. But everyone is different! Call monday morning, and share ur concerns! SSBD to you!
Avatar f tn It has lasted about a month and very heavy and tons of clits about 6-8 a day. For about a week I was changing my pad every 3 hours and they were heavy long pads. It continues all throughout the night, and sometimes it bleeds onto my sheets. 1 night it went through 3 pairs of pants 2 pairs of underwear both with pads. What is going on I am scared and have been feeling weak, tired and headaches for several days. What do i do?
Avatar f tn My periods when I was younger was every other month and I took birth control for over 10 years and it was regular during that time. I recently got married and got off of it to try to have a baby. I got one period and have not had one since (it has been 6 months now). I have lots of blood tests done and my testosterone is really high and I was diagnosised with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). I would get checked for that. Here are some of the symptoms. The symptoms of PCOS include: 1.
1837563 tn?1339903800 But now, my periods are 7 days long. The first 36-48 hours HEAVY BLEEDING! I saturate a pad every hour. Everytime I go to urine, blood gushes too, then I feel so lightheaded during these times. the rest of the days taper off. But on the 4th day, it gets heavy again for a few hours and then completely tapers off until day 7. Im anemic, dont know how low my actual iron count is. But I know I walk around feeling like im gonna damn near pass out sometimes.
Avatar f tn Have you been taking it so you have a period monthly or so that you have a period only every few months? I had a three-week period while taking it so I have one every three months, and my gyno told me to stop taking it, wait a week, then take it so I have a period every month for a few months. After that, I can go back to one every three. Apparently it's very common if you take it to have a period only every few months. Hope this helps!

1006489 tn?1250445044 I had this happen to me when I was on the Mini pill after my son. I bled every 2 weeks (2 periods a month). I got off the pills when my son was 9 months old because I couldn't afford them and it was really messing me up. After my son turned 14 months old, I conceived twins...I blame it on the messed up hormones that those pills gave me. I never bled with intercouse, but I did have 2 periods a month and my doctor had no answer for it.
