Hi all,
I've been experiencing heavy periods for the past few years and when I went to the doctor about this they did some tests and said I just got bad luck when I comes to periods and the other thing they could give me would be to put me on the pill or to get an iud. I was sitting at my desk watching a movie with friends and I soaked through a pretty thick pad within an hour or two and had to change. This has never happened to me before so I'm pretty upset about it. Has anyone had this problem and was able to solve it? Recommendations?
I'm not a medical professional and can speak only from my personal experience.
My periods are heavier when I am not on the pill. To alleviate the heaviness of my periods (and a few other unpleasant period-related symptoms), I take the pill. It works like a charm for me. I am currently on the pill and do not plan to stop taking it anytime soon.
I know many women don't do well with the pill or IUD. To each their own.
