and get some opinions?
I've got pcos, so never really had a regular cycle. I can go months and sometimes a year or more without a period. I can get heavy periods or light spotting. The number of days can be anything from a few hours to a week. I mean, there never has been any sort of pattern at all! Amazed I got pregnant twice tbh and had to have scans both times because I couldn't help them out with the date of last period thing.
but this, this is different. I've had three periods really close together - four or five weeks apart - and they have been so heavy that I have to use a towel - I don't mean a sanitary towel, I mean an actual towel! packed into my pants. And sit on another towel. And i am not kidding.
I did see my doctor the other day, who seemed to feel that it really wasn't a big deal. All part of it. And system having a good clear out except that's not my understanding of it at all! As far as I know, it's not that your womb builds up a year's worth of ruddy lining.
So here I am, hand towel in my pants, feeling like I am weeing, with a doctor who says to come back if it carries on happening (in future periods)
I've googled 'flooding' and it could be onset of menopause? but I am only 39!
Thoughts welcome! have you been through it? Could it be pcos going through menopause or something? Or should I go back to the gp and wave my towel around?

Can I talk to you about periods and PCOS? It's quite graphic.
