I just wanted to say what I always say on this forum, which is have your blood iron level checked, you might be anemic from the blood loss. And anemia will make you feel a bit depressed.
Anyway, maybe this is the beginning of the end . . . yaHOOO!!

Glad it has given you some relief, and long may it continue. Rest up! That is a long bleed. My sympathies!

it's great and a proof that harbals do work. I would take some iron+ folate for 6 months to rebalance the blood loss you had. Your ferritin levels must be very low by know.
Take care. Teresa.

Just remembred: citrus bioflavonoids are also recomended for womens bleeding.
I hope you don't need them though.

As I said citrus Bioflavonoids are recommended for this as Vitex is too.
If you want to go for non naturals the NSAIDS that is Ibuprofen is what mst doctors prescribe.
I know how draining it is...A Gentle hug. Teresa

in the UK and EU it's Utrogestan in the US it's Prometrium. You'll need a prescription and it's taken for 12 day before menses. Considering your age most doctors will probably assing to to some form of HRT.
In the US you have over the counter progesterone creams.
CEMCOR website has valuable information. I'll PM you some.
Let us know how're doing. Teresa.
