ve lost weight without trying, and
menstruation is so painful I cannot function
during the days leading up to it, and on the first and second day. Last period lasted 2 days. This time it's extremely unnerving with severe pain and heavy bleeding. Not to be gross, but my periods no longer begin with normal blood, it's either dark brown or blackish. My periods have always had a mind of their own, starting whenever they choose and typically last about 4-5 days being mostly heavy with clots.
