Hi everyone.

Just started my bleeding this month and for the first time i'm actually bleeding a lot compared to normal. It's also giving me more cramping.. I'm having to change my pads twice as much and im just wondering if this could be caused by high stress and changed eating habits? I've turned practically vegetarian and I eat a lot less now and this has been going on for a few months. Any suggestions??

Thanks!

Hmm...I have the same problems...To ease cramping I usually drink green tea with a 2 teaspoons of sugar..Or chamomile tea with 3 teaspoons of sugar and a bit of milk..Try overnight pads, it may be a little uncomfortable but it absorbs alot...Oh and take some midol menstrual complete or pamprin...I like midol better though...

i had expierenced excessive menstrual bleeding for about four months before I went to the hospital and they told me the cause of that was thrombocytopenia. They basically said if I started while I was hospitalized they would have to give me something to stop it cause it could have been fatal at that time.So my advice is to tell your Dr. Because u never know. Have them check your cbc (platelet count) you might want to take some iron pills too. Most women are low on iron.
