Period 8 days early and has now been going on for 10 days - what is happening?

[WishIWasRimaHorton]

That's it basically. Period showed up 8 days early. Normally bang on time or 1 day early at most. Normally lasts 3 days (sorry gals) - still going strong 10 days later. I use a mooncup so know what it's collecting and it's quite a lot (normal for 1st day flow for me; this usually reduces day 2 and peters out day 3, but it has stayed at 1st day flow rate throughout), but not flooding or clotting.

I have a coil - it's still in place. I don't have any cramps or odd feelings. Oo and I'm 38 so don't think it should be menopause just yet.

Any ideas?

bump. anyone?

That's quite a lot, I think I would be going to the GP in case you become anaemic. I don't know what could cause it but I think it's not uncommon (seem to think there's a name for it?). Hope you're okay and I'm sure you will be :)
