Change in periods.

[Dorasmum]

OK I'm going to describe my last two periods and my history and see if anyone has any ideas.

Since I had kids my periods have been pretty painless and easy and I guess a normal flow, I did get some odd ones of course in the year after each birth. But the last two I've had have been strange. I normally get either pmt or cramps, not both, if I get pmt I know it'll be an easy one. But lately it's been absolutely no pmt, and much heavier cramping and a really heavy flow for the first 3 days then almost nothing. And this last one I felt really faint for a day and sick to the stomach. I also had more pale thready clots. (excuse the graphic desc). By day two though I felt ok.

Any ideas for me to think about? I really did feel off, I had to take into account too that the night before I had a phone call at 3am for FIL from the US so didn't get enough sleep but normally I'm fine after only one sleepless night- it would take few in a row to drag me down to feeling faint. oh and i'm not a "fainty" person, even when pg.

And I'm not pg...unless it was an immaculate conception.... so it's not an early miscarriage or anything.

Could you be low in iron?

hormonal changes? Might be worth seeing a naturopath or homoeopath. See your GP for blood tests, too. Vhech the colour inside your lower eyelids - deep pink is good, pale pink to white can indicate anaemia

Hmm, no idea really, but i would suggest telling your gp next time you see him/her.
