My period has been heavier, that I've noticed, since my diagnosis of Endo. I was the same earlier this year- going 3-4 hours if not longer then all of a sudden I began going through Super tampons in an hour or so. Have you discussed this with your Dr?

Hang in there!!

My periods soak thru a pad in an hour. My clotting is very heavy. When I stand up from my desk at work or just stand, I feel like I'm peeing my pants when a clot comes thru. It is so thick that my pad can't absorb it. I am going in for an ablation in a couple days. Talk to your doctor. It might prevent you from having a hystorectomy.

when i had my period i would go through a super-plus tampon in 30 min sometime more.. but that was the usual. im in highschool so it made it hard.

I bled alot, most of the time it was just longer than I was 'supposed to'. I bled almost continuesly for 3 years. An idea, I was told that if I was bleeding like you are saying, even though I didn't want to, wear a pad instead of a tampon. Especailly if you're bleeding that much that soon. It seemed that I would bleed more if I wore a tampon, due, I'm sure to the fact that I had something inside of me. I don't know...just an idea. Good luck to you.

Thanks for the input. It helps to know I'm not the only one.

I was never able to wear a tampon because of the heavy bleeding.I would wear two extra long pads and fill them in a hour.

Hi newbe, I have never use tampons before, I prefer to stick to my pads. I had lots of issues with heavy bleeding. I once when through a box of 72pads in two weeks yes! It was really heavy and it came for 3mth. That was very stressful. Just hand in there Girl!

Ask your doc about Adenomyosis. I experience the exact same thing but didn't until I was diagnosed with endo in my early 20's. I am not sure of your age or situation, and I know that this disease typically targets women 35-50 that have had at least one child, but I am 27 with no kids and I was finally diagnosed 2 weeks ago. Good luck.

YES I have bled through covered a pad in a half hr! it is scary.. only happens on certain months, other months i have very little bleeding.. i also have this 'spot' bleeding as i hit age 35-37 and got closer to 'peri-menopause'. i also had sunshineB symptoms, the ultrascan revealed fine.. that hurts a bit too.. as you have a very full bladder and they press on it..and the exam is long.

who could prefer a tampon? yuck! they are both yuck.. pads are so gross, being a woman who bleeds heavy is so gross..try since the high school yrs for the majority of 25 yrs! however, imust say the bleeding got wonderfullylight in recent yrs as hit 'peri menopause.. AND the hot flashes started at age 30 for me! doctors have been told and they just say 'uh huh'.
Cutting out all sugar (and imean alls weets and fats and junkfood, any type of chips or snacks) ends the pain AND the heavy bleeding.. for most. Of course mostof america isnt willing to give up all their chocolate, sugar, and junk food. My taste actually is heightened in pms and tongue is.. that leads to buying all the chocolate and crunchy food and pizza you can eat.. but that totally went away (the cravings) when i cut that food out. Cottage cheese helped me a lot, but for others dairy makes the pain so much worse! Some months it calms,(dairy) others itdoesnt.. i dont know what is up
however, both grandma and mother had hystero..COMPLETE removal of all organs.. this can be prevented nowadays most times.
