[quote=Anonymous]There is no immediate danger unless this lasts more than a few days, OP. You are at risk of developing anemia. I'm sorry this is messing with your life. I am 45 and this happens in about half my periods these days. I talked to my Gyn and she scheduled a transvaginal ultrasound (away from my period) to see what was going on. I am suspected of having endometriosis due to pain and the aspect of my ovarian cysts, but other than that, there was no fibroid or polyp that could cause this bleeding. She suggested that I could go into chemical menopause by taking Depo-Lupron, but I don't want that. I have a family history of breast cancer and the pill/HRT is not recommended. I am slightly anemic, which for now I manage by tweaking my diet. Maybe I'll have to take an iron supplement at some point. [/quote]
