After I had my two boys everything just went back to normal. After my DD it was heavy, odd cycle lengths, mid cycle bleeding. I spoke with my OBGYN and GP and went on the pill to regulate the flow and cycle. My DD was about 18 months old then. (2012) A few months ago I went off the pill because I was getting very bad and very frequent headaches and they were putting me out of action. I had a gut feeling it was the pill and I have now been headache free for about three months buuuuuuuuut the bleeding! A super tampon every hour for the first two days. Maxi pads as well if I am going out for more than an hour. Libra Goodnights at night and sometimes getting up once a night to change. No cramps though. Thank goodness.

I am also starting to notice how drained and tired I am during AF. Do you get this?

I am not sure what is worse. Headaches and multiple painkill ****tails or bleeding like an overflowing dam!
