I am 37 and been very lucky my whole life when it comes to my periods. It was always on time, only lasted about 4 days. I fell pregnant very easy and had awesome pregnancies, absolutly no problems. But here is my problem now. My periods is so lumpy and nearly slimy that I cannot wear any tampons. I have to wear pads. I can feel the lumps coming out and it grosses me out. Its as if the lumps block the flow and when they come down, the blood just flows. Is this normal? And another question is why does my period blood make me burn? If I don't change pads fast enough then it literally burns my skin and leave marks. It sometimes even make wonder if I have bladder infection the way I'm burning. Any thoughts on that? Sometimes I wonder if I am the only 1 with these problems, any one out there knows wht I'm talking about?
