Really long, heavy period and lots of nausea...

mamaley · Sep 28, 2007

any idea of what could cause this? Or do these things just happen?

My period is usually 5 days long, with the first two days very light (spotting), 2 heavy days, and the last day light.

This one was 8 days, with 4 heavy bleeding days. It's over now, but I've had nausea for the past 4 days (my period ended yesterday).

Well, I'd be confused if I were you, too. However, I did have a TWELVE day period (with 8 days of real bleeding and 4 of spotting afterward) last spring. It freaked me out as it was such a departure from my norm. After an exam and ultrasound to confirm I was fine, I came to accept that "these things just ahppen" sometimes. If I were you, I'd wait to see what happens this next cycle, and if you're still concerned, see your doctor then.

Thanks for the response and for sharing your experience. I'm still queesy, but able to eat, etc, and feeling better. Maybe I'm just "off" this month.
