I am 42yo and mother of 3, with the youngest at age 5.
I've had very regular menstrual cycles however this month I started spotting and bleeding during my ovulation time. My abdomen feels heavy and with daily ab. Massages and baths, I feel temporary relief. Pain/cramping changes from side to side. I have a strong flow that doesn't seem to be slowing down. The quality of blood is dark red thick, and clots present. There's some swelling/bloating that goes down after lymphatic massage. I also notice pain while having bowel movements. What could be happening?
My normal cycles are heavy at onset but complete after 2.5 days. This has been my new normal since having children.
