My period has gotten heavier and longer these past couple of months. is there anything i can do to control it more?

Check thyroid!: One of the more common causes of excessive heavy menses is hypothyroidism. But this is quite treatable and important to detect for other reasons. Afterwards, a uterine ultrasound and an ob/gyn visit may be necessary!
