Is there a reason for heavy or lighter periods?

Or it is just luck whether you are blessed with light ones?

I think it's luck. Unless you have a medical condition for heavy periods - like fibroids. Mine were much lighter pre-kids.

PAAAAAAAAAAAARP

(lol don't get jealous FA!! Not going there not going there...)

well this month ive felt like i was giving birth and had a nasty bleed right through trousers an hour after changing tampax...

Aww charlie mine are like that atm....one is imminent as well ...

if only i was a man...sigh...why is it only us...well i know why but its just not fair is it????

im like that too..... i have no idea what is going on! Last month i was ligher again, and this month back to full on flooding.

Have just started the pill again so hoping it might calm mine - i know how you feel re giving birth - its nasty - and i had 2 babies to deal with at the same time!

:(

Have you thought about asking your GP about the possiblity of having endometriosis or fibroids? Just in case... it would be better to know! I should really do it myself!!

What's a light period anyway? Never had one yet. Sheets and PJs went into soak an hour ago, and the washer is just starting I'm fully padded,(we're talking Pampers here girls) ready for the school run, hoping that I can survive an hour in the car and no traffic jams pleeease. My head feels full of cotton wool and I just ache right through. Guess I'm grounded for the week again
