I am only 41 years old..i just recently had this problem..it has completly stopped my life with my fiancee..it has been 5 weeks now that i have had my period..it started out ok but then come the clots which for me that is normal..i have always had a period with clots and heavy flow..dr took test and h and h level and all are good..but i havent had hot flashes at all..i have just been so cold and just want to cuddle all day n my bed..it has taken a toll on me bad..i think im goin thru depression with this..my kids are only 9 and 10 and they are asking questions now... iron pills dont work..it makes your period heavier..
