Not normal: This change in your normal menstrual pattern is probably worth checking out with your primary care clinician. The fatigue may be due to anemia, a common finding with excessively long or heavy periods. Fortunately, if anemia is present, iron supplements are usually helpful. I would suggest having this evaluated.
