Bleeding heavily during ovulation is not normal- you should talk to your doctor ASAP!  Bleeding can signal many different conditions- endometriosis, fibroids, cancer, ect- get it checked out!

So did I. I later learned that my body was not responding to the ovulation process as other girls and I needed some help to push the estrogen and progesterone.  You need to see a doctor. They can test you and make sure you don't have endometrious (bleeding outside the fallopian tubes) or any other issues. Many times they will put you on an estrogen program (BC pills) to help regulate you. More importantly, you need to make sure you are okay. It's something that can be 'fixed' but you need to educate yourself and get some professional advice and support.  There are too many things that 'yahoo community friends' can tell you and you still won't know.

Unfortunately, periods fluctuate depending on horomone levels. You haven't said how old you are, but it is common in younger girls, like teenagers. Mine will even start heavy, get non-existent, and then go regular until I am done. It is normal.

A complaint of heavy periods is a good reason to see you gynecologist.  In fact, on his or her daily roster, it probably makes up a good chunk of the visits.\n\nThere is no over the counter treatment for this symptom.  The key is to find out why they are heavy - with your doc - and treat the cause of the symptom.  Best Wishes -

2 more common reasons why a women might not ovulate:\n1. pregnancy\n2. weight: \n- once your weight/percentage body fat drops under a certain level, your body stops ovulating (since there obviously must be a famine going on, it wouldn't be good reduce one's chances for survival by having a baby just now). Low weight and weight loss is also associated with ovulatory dysfunction and thus infertility. Even a moderate weight loss of 10-15% under ideal body weight can result in menstrual irregularity. It does not need to be the weight alteration of 30% or more as seen in women with anorexia nervosa or bulimia.\n- Obesity has a strong association with infertility and menstrual irregularities.

Not usually.  Most women have 5 or so years of on-and-off periods with bleeding ranging from very light to very heavy to anything in-between.

I can feel your frustration. :(\n\nFirst, you really do need to see a doctor. Excessive bleeding can be a sign of more serious problems. Get checked out and make sure it's not something that needs to be taken care of! Your life is too precious to play games with.\n\nHow old are you?\n\nFor bleeding... I have found that Shepherd's Purse is effective with controlling bleeding. You should be able to find some at your local health store.\n\nFor bleeding and infertility, you should look into natural progesterone cream.\n\nIf your bleeding is due to PCOS or fibroids, progesterone will balance out the excess estrogen that is causing them. The pain and bleeding should lessen, and possibly even disappear over time.\n\nIt's possible that you are having trouble conceiving because you aren't producing enough progesterone. Natural progesterone cream has been used to increase fertility, and is often given with IVF treatments.\n\nI have a "progesterone baby" in my support group, so I KNOW it works! :)\n\nFeel free to email me. I would be happy to send you some articles about progesterone.

Yes I have heard weight gain & loss can effect your periods.

I researched your problems. I came up with this thing, and you might have menorrhagia. Although I have a heavy period, my cramps probably aren't nearly as bad as yours. You should go to a OB/GYN and schedule an appointment to see if you have that.\n\nHere's the website:\n\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/menorrhagia/DS00394/DSECTION=2\n\nI'm glad I could be of help!\nCrystal. <3

Yes, its common.  Sometimes, when my period is done I bleed just a little bit.  Nothing to worry about.  It seems like it never wants to leave us. lol

Yes.  It is similar to childbirth.  I bled for a month after childbirth, only to get my period two weeks later.  If it is still heavy and full of clots it may be cause for concern.  I would talk to your midwife/obgyn.  At the very least it will make you feel better.  And I am terribly sorry for your loss!

Some girls have irregular ovulation -- that's what causes your period. Most women are regular, ovulate on schedule and only stop when they become pregnant, if there is a medical condition or they hit menopause. But there is a small percentage of women who do not ovulate regularily. In an extreme case - and this is a friend of mine - ovulation only occurs once a year! She had a great deal of difficulty timing things so she could get pregnant, and she and her husband only managed it once. So the answer to your question is yes, some girls just don't get their periods.

One of the most common causes of menorrhagia (or hypermenorrhea)--heavy menstrual bleeding and/or prolonged menstrual bleeding-- is an imbalance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone.\n\nIf you have seen a doctor, your doctor should have one: diagnosed you with menorrhagia after ruling out any other possible causes (other menstrual disorders, medical conditions or the use of medications) and two: should have started you on treatment to correct a hormonal imbalance if that was indeed the culprit.\n\nMy mother had this problem last year, but suffered from excessive menstrual bleeding (to the point she was severely anemic) and prolonged menstrual bleeding (lasting several weeks out of the month, stopping for a few days, then starting back up again). Her doctor said it was due to a hormonal imbalance, and he performed a D&C and then put her on iron supplements and progesterone.

Question:   Can I be pregnant and still have periods?\n\nBabyCentre Editorial Team:   No. Once your body starts producing human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) — the pregnancy hormone — and pregnancy is established, your menstrual cycle is interrupted and normal periods will stop. However, many women do experience bleeding during early pregnancy (for several reasons — see below) that may look very much like a normal period. This can make establishing your due date difficult, since midwives and doctors often use the first day of your last period to determine your due date. If that's in any doubt, measuring how big your uterus is may help them determine how far along you are. And if that's inconclusive, your midwife may decide to send you for a dating scan to measure the size of your baby and clarify exactly when he is due.\n\nMany women who have spotting in early pregnancy go on to have their baby without any complications, but bleeding can also be a cause for concern. It may be the first sign of a miscarriage; if so, your symptoms would probably go on to include heavy cramping and bleeding that is much heavier than a normal period. If you have sharp pains in your lower abdomen, especially if the pain is only on one side, you should see your doctor straightaway as you could have an ectopic pregnancy.\n\nBecause of these potential complications, if you bleed at all early in your pregnancy, it's best to notify your doctor or midwife. She may suggest getting a blood test to check your hormone levels or order an early ultrasound to evaluate your condition more thoroughly.\n\nReviewed March 2006

yep...you're normal.  for the first year you may experience periodic bleeding and sometimes heavier bleeding and cramping almost like a period.  A lot of times after a year the periods go away all together.  That was my experience.  if the cramping and bleeding persists beyond a few days, talk to your doctor.

There are so many different things that could be causing abnormal bleeding. You should see yur gynecologist ASAP. I'm 42 and was having the same problem My gynecologist found fibroid tumors. Had a hysterectomy which removed the tumors(which were benign as in most cases).\nBut could be anything as simple as dieting, stress, etc.\nTrust yur gyn and go see him/her

That actually happens to me sometimes. It's normally during my ovulation time or the week before I start my period. I asked my dr about it & she said it's normal. If it gets heavier or lasts over a week, that's when you need to worry & contact your dr.
