Hi @Autumn75 I have recently just gone through the menopause and before that for the last 6 or 7 years I was put on the mini pill because my periods were like you, sometimes I would bleed for 2-3 weeks, my doctor did send me for an ultrasound and they found fibroids and they reckon that's what was causing the heavy irregular periods, the mini pill helped my periods hugely, It stopped my periods and I stopped the mini pill about 18 months a go and haven't had a period since stopping.
