according to my doc...the heavy clotting (i didn't have a period for
over 6 mo's) is because the (uterine?) lining is shedding. it doesn't
shed when you dont' have a period. that's actually how i wound up being
diagnosed with pcos, was because of the periods (allof a sudden no
periods and gained 30 lbs in less than 2 mo's)
but anyway, maybe u should get another doc's opinion....like an
endocrinologist?
