I started my menstrual on Nov 30, 2015, My primary care physician does not seem concerned and told me because I am now in my 40's (43) I should see a gynecologist. I soak through heavy flow pads every 3-4 hours, 90% of the time, 5% every 2 hours 5% every 5 hours. It has been going on so long it is affecting my sleep (cramps, with no relief from IBU any longer) and work. I could not get into my clinics gynecologist until Jan 30. I went to a different clinic yesterday. The clinic gynecologist also did not seem concerned and told me I could have my menstrual for many more months. He did prescribe Prevara and told me to start it on Feb. 1st. I dont understand why this does not seem concerning to my doctors. It is stressing me out! The gyn., did do a full work up. I was taking the pill for a decade and had regular menstrual. I stopped taking the pill June 2015. No period until Nov. 30
