Please help!! For well over a year ive been gettin my periods every 2 weeks, im always really heavy and clotting. I also find im brusing all the time and sooo eaiserly.
I am only 25 im physicly drained n tired all the time.
If i have sex i bleed aswell for 7 or more days.

My periods always last over 7 days and im heavy from the day i start till i finish then ill finish for 2 weeks and im back on again

Im really worried none of the pills are workon at all n the docs are not doin anything

Does anyone have any ideas!

That's worrying, particularly the blood clotting. You must be losing so much iron with the bleeding as well, making you tired.

What kind of pills did your docs give you? And what exactly have they said?

Are you taking any vitamin supplements, particularly iron? If not I'd start immediately.

Do you smoke? Do you have any other health issues? How's your weight, diet, exercise?

Thanks for the message the docs have tryed all the pills goin from the implant to all the pills, the injection and there last hope was the coil but none have worked.
My waight is ok i lost 2 stone over 2 years but not drastic just eatin heathly n gradually losing the waight so im now in a size 14.
I dont excersise loads but ive troed more the last 3 months when i got a new job so i walk to work now n with me bein a waitress im always on my feet!
I smoked years ago but started again about 5 months ago im tryin to quit again now tho and have cut down.
Did not think about takin iron tables makes sense will start immediately tho thanks!

Go to the gynecologist you were referred to and try not to be too worried... Seems like you've gotten a string of doctors who have just tried to put you on some pill so they could take your money and get rid of you! You're bound to find someone who will actually listen, sooner or later.

Please consider stopping smoking for good, or at least until you can get this figured out. Smoking coagulates the blood and contributes to blood clots, which you are already having an issue with. The last thing you want is for a blood clot to travel somewhere it shouldn't and cause a stroke.
