How old are you? Are you, perhaps, peri-menopausal? I am 43, and have started having problems like yours for about a year or so. My periods have been out of control and more painful all the time (though I, too, was always one of those "regular and normal" people with my cycle). I finally talked to my doctor and she suggested either an I.U.D. to control the heavy bleeding or a procedure called ablation - which permanently ends your periods (in about 98% of the cases) so isn't appropriate if you still want children. Talk to your OB/GYN about this because I've heard VERY good things about both.
