You could have endometriosis. A lot of woman are getting this disease. There has been research done to suggest it can develop from using Kotex type pads because of the chemicals (dioxins) they use on them during the process of making them. This does not sound like menopause. Heavy bleeding and blood clots are common in endometriosis as well as extremely painfull periods. What state are you in that you can't get medical for low income? You need to get checked up by a doctor.

You are a little young for menopause but it does happen. However, menopause is when you STOP having periods. If you are having this bad bleeding then you must go to a doctor. Find a free clinic if you have to. You could have fibroid tumors which will cause heavy bleeding. But do go.

Sounds like menopause. Or pre-menopause. Go to your local free clinic.

Could be menopause. My mother had her period for months without ending when she got into menopause, then not at all, then for months in a row again...
