Im debating about going to the doctors now!

I often passed large clots, but since I seldom had cramps, I thought it was normal. I have heard some men claim we only lose about a tablespoon of blood... hell, some of my clots were much bigger than that! (morons!) I wish I could give you easy periods, but along with all your other problems, this just seems tied into them. And, oh joy! another 30 odd years of this junk!

911Ricki, Hey there. Now I've had period problems from almost the very beginning. When they first started they were very heavy and I was drinking a lot of caffeiene which was a factor for it. I had such bad cramps as well and eventually was prescribed naproxen which is basically a higher dosage of ibuprofen. I was taking 500 mg's whenever needed. Then my periods would be few and far between or I'd go two months without and then six months with. Six months without, two months with. Then it got where I just couldn't leave the house it was so bad, blood gushing to no end. A lot of it towards the end was factored because of stres. I split up from my ex, moved, and my cycles got somewhat normal. My diet changed, but really for the worst. I read a few months ago about raspberry tea and drink it atleast twice a day when I think of it. When I do drink it keeps my bleeding very minimal and so no cramps. It tones the uterus. I'd recommend talking to your doctor of course, but in the mean time I don't think one cup of Raspberry Leaf Tea will do you any harm. They also have raspberry pills. Vitex (chasteberry) Black Cohosh Red Goji Iron (there is an FE name for it as well, stronger) I know you take Iron already. Now these other things I've read up on and they are good for you. They make a teah with Red Goji and raspberry, it's also a green tea. Three in one, however I've read online that if you have cysts Goji can be harmful to them. Goji is an Asian fruit supposedly linked (folklored) to be a longevity fruit. I hope all this helps you.

You should at least call the doctor and tell him about the large clots and pain. White willow bark tea is supposed to be good. Have you still not heard about the ultra sound?

There is only ASA in asprin Try Tylonol or Advil or Motrin or even mydol! All work for me!

I suggest you to go to the doctor and check because it may be something else. My cycle isn't regular one too.. and I always get through cramps while I am hving my period.. I have checked and I was told that I am okay. So you better check.. and if there's something wrong you still can fix it soon..

Taking Vitex capsules (from the herb store) and drinking Red Raspberry tea help balance out all female-ailments. White Willow bark is a natural, mild pain reliever, which should help tone down your pain. Anything to help you relax will help. Breathe in Lavender to soothe yourself, take a shower or bath, and a hot compress on your lower abdominal area will all help. Good luck!
