    Should I go to emergency room
    I have been on my period for more than a month now. My flow got heavier today with clots. I can't afford to go to the clinic for maybe 4-5 days. Should I go to the emergency room or wait? I'm just having light cramping and a little dizziness.

    I doubt that anyone here is going to advise you on whether to wait or go now. It's the 3 day holiday, so you may find the ER crowded and understaffed. You may be dehydrated and anemic, so drink liquids and take multi-vitamins at the very least, and don't drive if you are dizzy. Regardless of what you can afford, you should go to the clinic the day they open, not when you can pay, if you pass on the ER. A big question is do you have a fever? If you don't have a thermometer, get one.

    Thank you, I don't have a fever, the cramps have stopped, and not dizzy as often. My sister's going to drive and I will just keep hydrated and see how it goes. I really don't want to go to ER. Thank you so much!
