ok, so my mom now for the past 3 years has been having this huge problem with her menstrual cycle, and noone can figure out why, shes in her early 40s and she has seen our family doctor about it and 2 gynocologists.the problem is that for months, she will have a period, with massive blood clots, and nonstop bleeding, which can appear out of nowhere with almost no time to get prepaired. She cant go on birth control because for her age she says the side affects are to dangerous, and she says there are blood clots in our family,i was just wondering if anyone knew what this was or had any ideas, beacause when ever it happens its all she talks about, and she doesnt know why or what it is, shes been having it now, since this december and still it seems to be getting worse, she even has to come home from work sometimes beacuse the blood loss is so severe any comments would be greatly apprecitated
