    From the first day of the 1st period to the first day of the 2nd period are they close to 28 days apart? And when you say extremely heavy what does that Intail?

    Hey. You sound like me a few years back. I'm sorry cause I know how awful it is. You more than likely ha a uterine fibroid. I had to have mine removed. Which helped so much. If I would you I'd make an appt with a gynocologist to get a transvaginal ultrasound to check for fibroids. The quicker. The better so you don't have to keep suffering.

      I don't have insurance so would I be able to go to my local health department and get it taking care of that way

      Yes you should be able to. Let them know your symptoms and you suspect uterine fibroids. Good luck sweetie. I feel your pain and understand your fear. It will be ok. Good luck. Keep us up to date
