Irregular periods

[jeanette1976]

Hi all, some of you may remember that i wrote about my VERY irregular periods, ie. once i was on for one and a half YEARS non-stop and another time i didn't have one for 10 months.... I came off the pill as I don't have a partner and my mum has had breast cancer twice at only 51, so thought it unnecessary if only to regulate my periods.

Anyway, I have just started taking Omega capsules, which include 3,6,9, flaxseed oil and starflower oil... which help to balance or regulate hormones... so now I have come on my period a whole week early (they're ALWAYS late) and its like Niagra Falls... I've literally just had to clean my seat at work... and I was wearing a huge thick bed-time surfboard....good job all are in meetings!

Although I'm happy that the capsules are working, I'm now worried about bleeding so much, I've never seen anything like this and i've had heavy periods before! Is this safe? Thanks. X

By the way, there apparently isn't anything wrong with me as 3 doctors have said that it is just down to my natural cycle...

Has anyone ever told you you've a wonderful turn of phrase Jeanette?! Mental imagery is definately a strong point of yours.... yikes. ;0)

Anyway.... aside from all that. Get yourself double checked with the quack just to make sure it's normal that you're this heavy, if he says it's ok then just make sure that you're taking in extra iron during this time I guess.

(And next time less of the visuals my love!)

You poor thing. Go back to your GP (or a different one) & insist on being referred to a specialist. You shouldn't have to put up with this.
