Heavy Menstrual Cycle

[Janet]

Gina...I wish I could help, but I have know advice to give or knowledge to share. Gayle is on vacation I think.

I didn't go through menopause the normal way. They removed a tumor the size of a small watermellon and they took everything else too....ovaries, tubes, uterus and cervix. It threw me into memopause real fast and I still suffer somewhat even though I'm taking a very low dose hormone. The kind of period you're describing were the kind of periods I had all the time..ever since my first one.

I hope someone else here can help answer your questions at least until Gayle comes back.

Janet thanks anyway.. I am back to normal today, I guess this is how things will be until it stops. You poor thing having your period so heavy from day on and having to remove a tumor.. Sorry I didnt know that..

[Janet]

Every month was a nightmare for me. Not only were they so heavy....I had cramps so badly that I had to stay home from school. It was so embarassing for me. I'm sooo glad it's over....wish I had a hysterectomy a long time ago...lol.

I'm glad you're doing better today.

I'm glad to hear that you're better, Gina. I had a period or two like that with huge clots. I was so moody that I was put on Prempro and at that time my period was slowing down, about to stop. The Prempro made my period come back and when I finally went off of it I quit completely. I haven't had a period for two years now but I still have the moodiness, off and on. I hope that you don't have any more problems.
