A member asked:
Could it be healthy to have a really heavy period on your 2nd day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heavier menses: At 44, not using oral contraceptives, the ovary requires more stimulation from the pituitary to ovulate, which increases the estrogen produced, so the menstrual period can be much heavier since the uterine lining is also thicker. At this point, you might ask your gyn about low dose BCP's. PMS, bleeding, and uncertainty may be reduced considerably.
