TMI but.  this week I've had the longest/heaviest period ever.TMI but. this week I've had the longest/heaviest period ever. I started the diet on November 12th, so shouldn't my body be used to this by now? I already suffer from anemia, so I've been doubling my iron pills and eating lots of spinach. Any advice?  

Answer 1

Extra vitamin C when you take your iron for better absorption. If the bleeding doesn’t improve, call your doctor’s office. Lots of options for heavy periods.  

Answer 2

The lower your HCT goes the more likely you are to bleed. If you haven't had it checked lately you might want to see a Dr and get advise.

@carpetbag4987 Dr told me that when my Hgb/ Hct went to 5/15. the lower it goes you can have heart issues as well

Answer 3

Same here

Answer 4

I started in September and was getting mine every 20 days, not bad but still a pain. Did you talk to your coach/or Dr?

@rollin I hear you! Good luck, remember it’s worth it. ❤️

Answer 5

I had the same problem. Mine wasn’t a regular flow. I just had a lot of spotting. I talked to my Obgyn and she said to take ibuprofen so it would slow down the bleeding. My coach wasn’t too happy with that because she said ibuprofen contained a lot of sodium. I followed my doctor’s orders.
