Hi Jenn, I was plagued by ridiculously heavy periods ever since I could remember. I used to suffer from PMDD and I would empty out a large box of super launch pads and missiles each round--usually by day 5 on a 7 day adventure. When I went on the pill, it dramatically changed my period. It really regulated not only the flow but the cycle as well. But what helped me the most was a hysterectomy. I feel so much better, I don't have the cravings and mood swings, and I'm no longer bound to those feminine products. I don't have the bouts of the blues either.

When you see your ob/gyn doc, talk to him about your options. You really shouldn't have to suffer through that.
