Hello all
This is my first post on the main boards, so bear with me.
I am 45, and am pretty certain I am going through the menopause. I have had a lot of dryness, sore boobs, periods coming every 2 weeks for the past couple of months, and then this morning I got up and despite having a super plus tampon PLUS a super plus towel it was like a scene from a horror film. I continued to soak through 6 tampons and doubled-up towels before lunchtime, and although it has slowed down somewhat it is still really heavy. The only time I have bled like that was when I was miscarrying back in 2002. I did go to the GP about possible HRT as I am younger than the average age and there is a risk of osteoporosis but he said I didn't need HRT and told me to take evening primrose oil, which I am. I can cope with all the other things but this flooding is horrendous, I couldn't leave the house.
Is this normal, and should I see the GP again?
Thanks
