Melissa in Australia Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I have one day very heavy, I go through a box (36 tampons in 12 hours), plus pads. then it is all over. I find it extremely draining, and I get very lightheaded. I have to change tampons every 10-20 minutes. I have had this ever since having my tubes clamped.

TammyinTN Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Yes...this was exactly how I was for years after having our son. One day I'd had enough and tried a new doctor. She was wonderful...I went on the pill and have been on it for 5 years. It has completely changed my life. I now take 12 weeks worth then take a week off and have a super light period. It's the best thing I've ever done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giraffe Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Thank you all for sharing your experiences and advice. I didn't get a chance to call the doctor Friday (crazy busy day) and am just now getting back to the computer, but based on everyone's comments I definitely will call Monday. I was diagnosed, years ago, with "mild" endometriosis, but not serious enough to do anything about. I'm wondering now if something changed about that, or if something else is going on. I pass clots too, and some of them are larger than golf balls. I'm glad I asked the question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
