Have you seen your doctor? If so, what did he/she say? Are birth control pills? You might need to set up an appointment to discuss surgery. I did this myself.

Let me PM you. Hang on.

If clots are bigger than the palm of your hand, see doctor, in fact cause you have pain you should go anyway.

Hi I'm 48 and I to bleed heavy always have to be fair but lately my periods are coming quicker like every three weeks plus this month an extra one after a smear. Mine to have clots. I have a fibroid have you been checked for this?? Plus I know periods can get heavy a closer then go the other way lighter a less as you get older. Right now is like it all to stop so I feel for you.

I had periods every other week before I had surgery 3 years ago. They were very heavy back then.
