They have usually been heavy, w/ minimal clotting. This one does net seem to want to stop. Just when I think it's done for the month, wham! I soak through 4-7 pads a day, and can't even leave the house because they come about every 10- 15 minutes, lasting for around 3-5 hours before it slows up. And when I think it's over, wham.....here we go again. This one started on Sept. 14, and now it is Oct. 5. I am so sick of this! What can I do? I am 36, eat regular meals, and have little stress. Please help!

You will have to see a gynecologist since this can be a sign of some rather simple or more complicated gynecological issues like fibroids, cysts or something else. You also are at risk for iron deficiency anemia if you are indeed bleeding as profusely as you say, month after month - so that should be addressed with a blood test. Get checked out.
