Heavy painful periods, what have you done to aleviate them??

[inthepink]

That's it really, dreadful, heavy periods, have had tests at the doc's but she can't find any reason for them, could be my age!

doc suggested the mirena coil (she seems to be pushing me in that direction) but was wondering if anybody had an alternative answer and what worked for you

TIA

Thanks Attila, have been checked for fibroids but don't have them, will speak to dr about endo, thanks for the information and will check out the website before going, like everyone here it seems, also suffer with huge clots, I didn't want to go down the coil route without checking out any of the other possibilities.

Thanks everyone - hope everybody else manages to find a solution to their problems, will keep you informed of the outcome.

Another vote for tranexamic acid here.
