A member asked:
This is the second time this happens. this month my period is 4 days early and lumpy for the first 2 or 3 days. why could this be ?

DUB: It sounds like dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) which often results from hormonal imbalances during menstrual cycle. Sometimes "lumpy" menses (presume more clots!) results and no ovulation. DUB is treated by trying to regulate the hormones. You don't mention contraception, but DUB is often treated by birth control pills for ongoing regulation of hormones. Pregnancy should be excluded.

When a prescription says take two/three/four times a day does that mean between morning and evening or over a 24 hour period? Like for an antibiotic.
