    Heavy Periods
    Hi I am 45 years old and always had heavy periods and passing clots as well. They are still pretty heavy but were only heavy for two days before and now it is 3 days. The cramps are bad too. I am so self conscious and I am wondering why and what can be done.

    I used to have VERY heavy periods but now they are much lighter since starting on a BC pill

    Yeah but birth control pills have side effects.

    You should contact your Gyno about this. BC pills can lessen your periods, but if that is not a route you want to go; your doctor will have more information for you.

    If you can't afford a doctor, there should be a clinic that can offer advise, or even going to planned parenthood.

    And by the way... in my experience, Birth controls do a lot more good than harm. If you are not taking it just because the risk of side effects, I hope you are not taking Aspirin, or cold medicine, or allergy medicine.

    Birth control is awesome. Clears up your skin, makes periods very light. I rarely had cramps at all when I was on the pill. It was awesome!
