periods blues!!!

hello, i am a 29 year old female with 2 kids aged 6 and 3. After my second delivery which was a c-section, my periods reduced to 1,2 days . before that i used to have them for 4,5 days. plus discharge is minimal usually. i have gained weight during last one year and my tummy is constantly coming out. from last 3 periods i am noticing blood clots whnever i go to toilet. 10-12 days prior to periods i get swelling on ankles, feel nauseated in mornings to such extent that i feel pregnant, and extremley exhausted. After 1,2 days of my periods i feel well again but that stays only for next 12,15 days. i am not using any oral or other contraceptive or any other medication. please if anyone could help me out as 15 days out 0f 30 a month i have to suffer due to this periods problem :( .
thanks,
maria ali

Re: periods blues!!!

Periods often change after certain events... but this is bothering you so I would have your cervix checked out with a smear test and then ask your GP for a transvaginal ultrasound scan. It might be worth going on some form of contraception that supresses your cycle such as the pill, or considering a Mirena IUS.
