Hello! I'm Elaine from Malaysia, I'm 35, Chinese and a Christian.
My problem is this, I had very heavy periods in my teens. Then I got sick and had to take some meds which stopped my periods for 3 years (Yay! I thought, I'm free!). Well, about a year ago, the doctor said I don't need those meds anymore and she said those meds are not mean to be taken long term so my periods came back about 9 months ago.
Now, I said I had heavy periods in teens but when I hit my 20s, they became lighter. But in March and April, they became almost as heavy as they were in my teens! Should I be concerned? And I usually have problem free periods, maybe a little diarrhea and bloating but no cramps. Well, in March & April 2008, I had menstrual cramps for the 1st time in my life. It didn't stop me from work but I still hate them and don't want them. Why now after so long? Should I be concerned?
And in April 2008, my period started around the 24th of Arpil, 2008, but now I'm getting copious yellow discharge! Why?! Can't I be free from pantiliners for at least 2 weeks?! Must I suffer everyday of my life!? If it's not heavy periods, it's icky, uncomfy and 'wet down there feeling' discharge during the rest of the month! Pantiliners are expensive! And I need to use them almost everyday! Sometimes, I wish I were a man! Shaving every morning is not so bad!
Oh, btw, the yellow discharge doesn't smell bad, so I'm sure it's not UTI. However it smells like period. Oh, and 1 more thing. I understand that our cycle is 28 days, so how come I get my periods after 20-23 days? It's not fair! This means that I get periods more often then other women with normal cycles. I HATE being a woman!
Thanks for listening, I just had to vent!
