I had my period about 2 1/2 weeks ago, but
for the past 5 days I have been bleeding
very dark brown blood. This is not
spotting it is very heavy. Now I am
bleeding red. My next period starts this
sunday. I think it may be more than
breakthrough bleeding. Also, I do have
pain in my pelvic area after sex and my
doctor says it is possible that I may have
endometriosis. Anyone have any ideas.
I am going to the gynecologist tomorrow,
but I am worried. Thanks

General rule of thumb...If you're
saturating your pad or tampon completely
and have to change it every 1/2-1hr then
you need immediate medical attention.
Especially for prolonged bleeding as it
may cause anemia. If you're changing
longer than that, then you're just having
a heavy period and need it checked out
anyway if it's a concern.
