Yep! My problem is fibroids. Or so they think. Unless I want to go through testing to rule out endometriosis, there is also that possibility. Either way, i'm living with it for now.

You should see your doctor, it might be easily taken care of. Birth control pills work wonders for lightening the flow and easing the cramps!

I have had illregular periods (12years)all of my life they tell me its because I was sexually malested when I was a child and they say its due to stress I thought I was back to normal cause from jan 05 to nov 05 I was doing great have periods almost 4 days apart from when I should start well I didnt have a period at all in dec 2005 and then started in jan 6 2006 and then feb 05 2006 and I havent had a period since I did take a test but its neg so thats a good thing also my left breast has been leaking
and I have been feeling kinda sick in the morning but I dont feel preg cause I knew I was pregnant with my first and second child and I dont
feel that way now its like I know my body but right now my body is like
all out of sorts and I have had dnc and ultrasounds done but they cant
seem to know what the problem is so they figure its due to stress thats
all they keep telling me so I dont know I just know my body and its not
working properly right now anyway if im counting my first day of my last
period right now im at a 52 day cycle and thats crazy and I should have
started my period 24 days ago going by the 5th of march ...


I used to be on birth control which is very bad for me due to that I would bleed 28 days and then go off 2 days and then bleed again but I think because I was so young that had something to do with it but im gonna go back on the pill to see if it will help me since im older now
i also have ibs so that dont help none either . I also have alot of abdominal pain and cramps that shoot pains in to my legs some times my back hurts as well if you have any advice please let me know thanks so much ....

I suffered with painful and irregular periods from when I was 14. I have 3 children and they got worst every time .I have a very small fibroid but the hospital told me that it wasnt that, I am just one of those women who suffers with heavy periods which runs in my family. I recently had a myrena coil fitted (i think thats how its spelt) and it was the best thing ever, instead of giant clots which were painful too pass there is hardly any loss and the pain is next to nothing and I can go out with a tampon on and not worry that I will flood and have to go home I know longer pass out when I am on my period and instead of being on for 2 weeks its 7 days and every 4 weeks it does take about 6 to 9 months for it to work properly and in the beginning your hormones are everywhere but it was the best thing I ever did and it only has to be changed every 5 years hope this helps

Yeah I understand that I finally started back on birthcontrol and its
not going so well the or----lo it probley works on some people but
not for me they make you start on the day you start your period well I
did that and I bled for like 7 days well I was taking it and I didnt even
make it to the green pills I was in the light blue and I started my period
again and I didnt get off of it 8 days later so im in the dark blue now
and fixing to get into the green so im gonna have a 3rd period which
totally sucks my dr wants me to finish this pack and then she is going to
put me on somthing stronger I dont want to get my tubes tide due to the
fact I have spoken to tons of people who had that done they say you are
in worse shape then be 4 I know two people that have had it done and
they ended up getting a tubel pregnancy and they are davastaded this one
lady's husband I know started going off on the dr because he was like this
is suppose to be a birthcontrol and he is really upset cause he wants his baby and she has to pretty much have to abort it because it cant live in a
tube but he is pretty upset about it which I dont blame him I would be too
and I dont want to go through that its pretty scarry if you ask me hopefully
this next pack which I have no clue what it is yet but i'll keep you posted keep me posted and let me know how that mirena goes I got that in the paper but im kinda scared about them sticking things in me lol no offense..

There are several things that will help relieve discomfort:
while menstruating, refrain from drinking caffeinated drinks such as coffee, tea, cola or cocoa.
Avoid stress. Relaxation and massage can work wonders.
Exercise and staying fit can help prevent painful periods.
Keep your abdomen warm.
Finally, use pain-relieving medicines if necessary.
Remember that it is always best to consult your doctor about your specific concerns.
In some cases, painful periods are hereditary. If a woman has painful periods, her daughters may later be affected in the same way.

Hope this helps

I agree, it is heck being a woman sometimes. Different things work for different females. What really helped me with the cramps was to take about a half of a teaspoon of ginger with some hot water and drink it down after it cooled off, put your feet up for about 1 hour even though the ginger kind of made me gag it sure helped with the cramps and that was before all of this other stuff they have now. You also have a right to get a second opinion from another Dr. You must feel what the best thing for you to do. I am not a dr but it sure helped me

the best of luck!
