Thread: 40 day period

Hi, I am new here trying to find some advise on my 40 day long period!!! I am 41 and have always had 2-3 day periods every 28 days on the nose. I am getting SO weak from the loss of blood and "clots"... Do i need a dnc? I have just purchased some liquid iron...will this help? Got a business to run and feel like I am losing my mind!!! ~lucendzz

Hi Lu..I am new on here too..and am looking for support and advice because of my messed up cycle as well. Yours is the first I have read so I thought I'd post a comment ..
40 days? wow..I am at my wits end cause I am 48 y/o,and have had my period for the last 3 weeks..with me tho, my periods have been all over the place, last 2 years being the worst, due to the fact that I am in peri-menopause..Man..It sucks...sometimes I get them 2 x a month..mostly tho,the thing is every month it is between 5-10 days earlier..
I am wondering if this 3 weeks thing is just another lovely side effect of my age and peri-meno or something else..
Are you by any chance in peri-meno? but if you are you'd know it,and would have had problems before this probably..
When this started I had horrible pain, now it just medium flow for 3 weeks..ugh..are you getting pain? If you are weak and clotting , man, I get to the doc.I dont feel weak, mostly its just slight cramps and a major annoyance!
I am going to make a doc appt. since this is driving me nuts..I can imagine what you are going through! I will post any findings.
wishing you Peace
