Hey Sunshine....love your name. I'm 48 and around the age of 44 I did the exact same thing you're doing. It got to the point I went to the doctor. I thought I was going to bleed to death. He simply told me it was normal and I was in the latter phases of menstruation. I haven't had a period in 2 months now. I hope I'm done! It's wonderful, except for the little spurts of hot flashes I get from time to time. That's tolerable though. All the best!

I am 43 and mine are horrendous at the moment. Heavier, last longer, but for the last few months only between 3-5 days between periods. Was tested for thyroid problems and other things but they were clear. I guess its old age creeping up on me. Or i have done something really really bad and someone somewhere is paying me back in this way!!!!!!

I had the same problem and it turned out that I had fibroids and had hit the menopause. It was cured when I stopped taking the pill. The progesterone hormone in the contraceptive pill was causing the heavy bleeding.
I have not gone on to HRT as that would also cause problems with bleeding. I haven't suddenly started to wrinkly though.
Have a chat to your doctor.

I'm 45 and mine got worse a year ago (heavier).
It was found last July I have started Peri-menopause.
Your hormones are changing.
Have you experienced any other unusual symptoms in addition to the heavier bleeding like insomnia and mood changes?
Ask your Gyn to check your hormone levels to see what is causing the change in your periods and whether you're starting Per-menopause.

Poor you!
Around this age, they might well start doing strange things. It may be that your body is gearing itself up for Menopause, but no one should risk bad periods for too long - there are too many things that they may be signalling to you.
I know its what many people on these boards say, but the truth is that you need to find a Gynaecologist with whom you feel that you can talk - and she/he needs to do some blood tests and things to make sure that its not a real problem brewing.

Uterine fibroids are usually not dangerous, but can cause immense discomfort and lead to complications like anemia from heavy blood loss. In rare cases, they may cause complications that affect pregnancy.
In cases where there are no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. However, proper diagnosis and treatment may be required if your symptoms are severe or causing complications. Along with conventional treatment, you can try some natural home remedies. Read here https://tr.im/F7IjB
