How heavy is your flow?

Question

Answer

My was different I suffer from cysts and I can't remember when I had a normal period. I had to change so many different brith controls . Also now that I'm on the end of my pregnancy I'm not looking forward to getting it back to having my period ?

Answer

I used to have SUPER heavy flow, but I've changed a number of things since that time.

First, I had a Mirena IUD in for six years so I didn't have my period during that time. When I had it taken out I had the mother of all periods, and used tamping for a couple months.

Then I switched to a menstrual cup instead of tampons. Since then my periods have become significantly lighter, but also shorter - they last four days instead of six.

I don't know if I can attribute this to the menstrual cup or if my period simply regulated itself after going off Mirena, but I remember my long and heavy periods from before that, so I'm not gonna mess with the good thing I have going.
