I've been having irregular and heavier than usual periods for a couple years now. My doctor has run ALL THE TESTS and knows how extreme it is (it's so much that Dr. Google advised me to talk to my doctor about it, which I have). I'm overweight right now and not exercising as much as I used to so she (doctor) thinks it will get more regular and less heavy as I lose more weight and exercise more consistently. The losing weight and exercising does seem to help with making them more frequent at least, but when you're erupting like a volcano every time, it's not exactly motivating to work toward having a period (aka hemorrhage) every month. Mt. Vesuvius indeed (Better to laugh than cry, right?) To anyone reading in a similar situation, I wear pads plus tampons currently and have discovered that the only pads that are any good for the hemorrhagic days are these guys: https://www.samsclub.com/p/always-ma...=plp_product_6 which feel like diapers pretty much. Forget the ultra thin; I need the big guns. Luckily, the whole period isn't like that, just the middle section. Sorry if TMI. My mom always referred to it as "bleeding like a stuck pig." She couldn't wait for menopause but unfortunately was regular like clockwork up through some of her 50s I think. |
