Hi, first time posting on any site, but have found reading your responses to each other very helpful. Also, I am new to the "menopause" family too. I had suspected but went to my gyn. after missing two cycles. After my check-up, we had to do a biopsy, every thing came out fine, but I then start my period that day and had a 12 day period.....Mine have never been more that 3-5 days tops and very seldom heavy. That was end of October, first of November. Now, in December, I am on my 18th day of a medium to heavy period and do not see a end in sight. I am worried about becoming anemic, and I have a hard time taking iron. Is it normal for periods to last this long during menopause and is there anything I can do naturally to balance out my hormones ect. ......... this is just gross.......help!!!!
