Heavier and longer periods since husband passed away 6 months ago. could this be stress related? i have seen a doctor had a normal pap and blood work.

DUB: You could be right. You have been under severe stress. It is termed dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Please be gentle with yourself and take good care of your health while you grieve. Please don't hesitate to reach out to friends, family, and even a grief counselor or support group to get you through the next 6 months. Tell your Dr. if sleep is a problem.
