Hi, i am 26 and have pretty regular periods until i got pregnant in 05 and yes, had an abortion(i think i was miscarrying anyway), then i went on BC. i used a few different kinds, but i was on the NuvaRing for the longest, about 9 months. I stopped taking it in march 07 and have had 6 periods since then...the first 4 were separated by many months and when they came they were pretty normal and light. last month my period was about a week early and extremely heavy (at least for me). TMI alert: i was soaking through a pad in about 1 hour and gave up using tampons because they would last 15 minutes. that lasted about 5 days. My period came last night, about 30 days since the last one, and is heavier than normal ones, but not as heavy as that last one! my concern is that i'm going to have heavy periods be a norm for me or could this be a possible phase as my body adjusts? And, is it normal for your period to change like that? 16 years of light periods has been nice! any input would be welcome! Thanks!

Hi there,
Whenever there is a major change in our cycles, it's always a good idea to see our gyn.
