Having problems with menstrual period?

Question:

I have abnormal periods (I have seen a doctor for this) I bleed sometimes for almost a month at a time and it is heavy bleeding. The last time I went to the doctor I was prescribed birth control pills to help the problem but I do not think that it is helping. This month when my period begin it started out normal but began to get heavyer and passing huge clots I was hurting so bad I had to go out and buy Midol and that is the first time I have ever bought Midol. Even one time when I went to use the restroom I passed enough blood at one time to fill up one of those urine cups the doctors give you to urinate in I bet I could have filled it up at least 3 or 4 times. That was really a lot of blood. Anyone know what the problem might be? I am 32 yrs old and weigh 195 lbs. and I am 4 ft 9 in. tall.
Answers:
Maybe its PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome(PCOS). I was just diagnosed with it and my doctor told me that in his experience, 1 in 4 of his patients have it. It causes irregular menstrual cycles, dark growths of hair on the face, skin tags, etc. Look it up and talk to you doc about it. Maybe he/she can put you on hormones rather than the pill, especiall if you want to get prego. Good luck!

Hey don't really worry about it. I have the same problem. I sometimes don't have my period for months in a row. Others when I have it I have it for a whole month non-stop and is horrible. I was scared because I didnt know what was wrong, but the doctor told me that its normal. It happens to a lot of women. He prescribed birth control and my period got heavier and could not stand the pain. I got off it because I did not like the feeling. After some years now it seems to have calm. The only thing is that if you are planning to have kids it might be difficult. Hope that helps

I used to have horrible periods with heavy flow 7 days straight and cramps so bad I couldn't get out of bed. I've been taking the pill 2 years now and hardly notice my period at all. Stick with the pills a little while. I hope they help you. They worked miracles for me!
