Thanks for your reply. She has had all the blood work to rule out
bleeding disorders, one clotting factor was a little out of line but I
was told that would not have impact on this issue. She had an abdominal
US which was normal too. She started having very light periods at age 9
and just since last spring they have become predictable and heavy. I
will talk with her primary and the gyn again and see what we can figure
out as far treatment. She literally can not leave the house for about
three days every period because it's so heavy.
Thanks again for the advice!
