Period every 2 weeks - any ideas?

[TracyK]

I was on hols with my friend last week and she told me that her period has been coming every 2 weeks for the past couple of months. She is v. worried that she has cancer!
She is on thyroxin for her thyroid glands - but she's been on that for about 5 years with no probs.
Any ideas for diag? she is going to see if she can get appt with GP.

is she on any form of contraception at the moment?

[TracyK]

no - just abstinence I think - her hubby is away 4 nights a week and she's usually too tired/pissed off when he comes home for any sex!!

I had the same two week problem in February, it eventually settled down.

My periods have been very very heavy since DS was born 4 years ago, I thought it was as a result of the aspirin I am on for my heart, but seemingly not.

TMI alert I was filling a super tampax in an hour or less sometimes.

I have seen a Gynae, who recommended ?.. guess what??? the Mirena coil, they are handing them out like snuff at a wake at the moment . I refused her kind offer , she had mentioned two other possibilities, which also didn?t appeal.

Tranxamic something or other acid, basically tablets or cauterisation of the lining of the womb(lovely)

So??? there was a tumbleweed moment after I turned down all her suggestions and then and only then did she mention the fact that I could have Microval in tablet form, which is the contraceptive in the mirena coil, and no need for a foreign body to be inserted into my nether regions. I am only on for about 15 days, so I am not in a position to say whether it has worked or not.
