Have you seen the dr for this? Its def not normal!

 

[bathbabe]

Yep! They thought it was PCOS so sent me for a scan - i had 2 tiny little cysts that they thought wouldnt be causing the problem. I asked to go onto the pill to see if that would stop it - it hasnt this has been going on since last August Im so so so fed up x

wow. im sorry!

I had 2 week long periods in a 5 week cycle, a week of which were so heavy it really worried me. It turned out I had PCOS but basically because I didn't ovulate the lining just kept building up and up (hyperplasia) until it couldn't anymore.

They did a hysteroscopy to check for fibroids or polys as this may be causing it.

When they did the scan did they measure your lining. Mine was 16mm and it was supposed to be under 8mm I htink.

People don't realise how debilitating long periods can be, you can;t go swimming and have to keep carrying tampons/pads. I hope you get this sorted soon.

I've had this issue for years before the pill and a few times after coming off it nearly 5 years ago. I've been to A&E about it as there are large clots that come out too (TMI sorry) and my bloods were low doe to it. They said I'd be better having a coil fitted (won't help with getting pregnant) as it's probably Endo :/ I'm just left with it hoping that I don't forget to wear clothing that will not show any possible leaks, several pads and high absorbant tampons when it happens. I'm awaiting AF to show up this time though, it's been over 9 months since she sent me to A&E. Hope you get sorted hun x

Try taking some vitamins b6. It'll help strengthen your uterus lining and balance hormones. I eat raspberries and strawberries daily; berries contain vitamins b6 and that's what helped me overcome my long bleeding during menstruation. I use to bleed anywhere from 14-16 days... my past two cycles I menstruate for only 9 days and 7 days since I started eating my berries and vitamins.

Wow, can't believe the difference! I'm so glad it worked for you finger crossed for us all.

I had a vinyl type pencil case in my handbag to keep spare tampons/pads so if I opened my bag it wasn't obvious, and plastic sandwhich bags if I was somewhere without a bin. Disgusting I know but did help. Also a bag in my car of spare cloths, I usally wore black trousers so if I changed it wasn't obvious.

Thanks girls! When i had my scan they said my lining was thick but didnt tell me how thick it was
Can you get B6 in tablet form? I dont like raspberrys or strawberrys (the seeds make me feel all funny in my mouth LOL)
I think the fact i dont ovulate is part of the problem is there anything that can help me to ovulate? Iv heard about Soy so i think im gunna try that when i can.

Im on cerezette - 2 pills a day to try stop the bleeding - it hasnt worked but it has make me have slightly longer gaps between bleeding, like 24days rather than 7, which was nice not having to worry about where the nearest toilets were etc n not having to check that i hadnt 'leaked'. Ugh, such a chore xx

I was bored in the supermarket queue yesterday and was reading the b vitamin complex tablets my hubby gets and it has 100% of the RDA for B6 and for folic acid, so that might be a good option. They do smell funny though lol.

 

[bathbabe]

Thanks. Shopping night tonight so i will be stalking the vitamin isle x

Got B6 complex as that was the one which had folic acid in rather than just B6. Iv just been reading up online about it - it can take upto 6months in women to make a difference.. good job the pots are only £1 I hunted for soy but they didnt have any but i dont need it yet anyway xx
