[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would call your doctor. How old are you?[/quote] I am 43. My periods are typically very regular, which is why this one is noticeably different. I guess I am just wondering if it is normal to have a one off, weirdly heavy period as you get older. Given the lack of other symptoms, it is really only the quantity of blood that is a concern. Do I need immediate care? Or just mention at the next regular check up? Or schedule a check up this week but don’t bother with wasting ER resources?[/quote] Schedule the checkup sooner, and ask what they recommend regarding the ER when you make the appointment. Advil can help in the short-term, and having a Mirena eventually placed is often recommended for regular heavy bleeding, if feasible.
