Maybe TMI (actually *for sure* TMI) but I am weirded out
My period has always come like clockwork. It's always been really predictable in duration and flow. But, for the last few months it's been whacked right out! It's come early twice, and late once. The flow is all over the place...heavy then almost nothing, then what I would consider normal for me, then clots...crazy town. The thing that weirds me out is the clots. I know these are supposed to be normal but I have never, before a few months ago, had these before, and they are really huge and kinda scary.
My doc poo-poo'd my concerns. Many of the women in my family, including my sis and mom, have Endometriosis, but the doc says that that wouldn't explain what I am describing. Has anyone else experienced this kind of drastic change?

I would look for a second opinion.
If you are worrried and your doctor isnt addressing your concerns you need to find someone that will listen you your concerns and send you to someone else who can help or recommend some tests; You have the right to know what is going on....
As Dr. Oz would say.. you need to be incontrol of your own care... as sad as it is.. we have to advocate for ourselves... no one else is going to do it!

gettingGL with getting or finding out what is going on!
I would ask for a 2nd opinion too. Maybe if it was one or two months I wouldn't worry, but since it is ongoing, you never know what could be going on.
Not trying to scare you or anything, but, my dad was getting really bad headaches. The dr told him it was just because his spine was misalined. His spine has been like that since he was 18 and the headaches started when he was 58. After 6 months of visits and the dr telling him it was nothing, he asked for a 2nd opinion. He had a tumour, and had it been caught sooner, they could have done radiation. My dad just had a 13 hr surgery to remove it.
Go get another opinion!!!
If you're TMI, then I'm worse
My doctor asked me to track my periods for a few months. When he saw how many days in a row it would last, how close together they were and how bad (I went an extra step and marked each day S (spotting), L (light), M (medium), H (heavy - which was lots of clots) and HH (really heavy, like bleeding through super duty tampons in an hour and needing pads/tampons together and STILL having to change each within a couple of hours) he changed my birth control right away.
In his opinion my current pill was no longer strong enough.
I haven't gone through a full pack but my period finally stopped so I'm hopeful.
I got a calendar that showed the year on one page. I think when he saw it written out like that he realized what "my period is getting really bad" meant. Since January I had more days with a period then without. And since my normal period is one medium day, the rest light or spotting and I was going over a week with heavy/really heavy he could see just how bad it was.
Happy Easter
