A.C.
I have a history of endometriosis in my family. I have not been diagnosed with it but I think that I am predisposed to heavy periods and abnormal bleeding. That said I had normal periods for the first 10 years from age 11 to around 21. Then they started to get really heavy with no medical explanation. I started on the pill and took it until I was ready to concieve my son. When I went off the pill I did not have heavy periods. However I feel that some people are more predisposed to problems. I don't like taking hormonal BC but for some people the alternative is also not good. I think you should try a hormonal method. I am on the shot which is extremely low-dose and progesterone only. I have been happy and only have light spotting every 2-3 months. Good Luck. Be aware that you may have early endometriosis.
