If your period is something you have to plan your life around every month, it’s worth paying attention.
For many women, periods aren’t just inconvenient — they’re something you quietly work around.
Changing plans. Thinking ahead. Worrying about what might happen next.
You might be:
🩸 soaking through protection more quickly than you expect
🩸 bleeding through clothes or bedding
🩸 having periods that last more than a week, or affect how you feel physically
If this sounds familiar, these can be signs of heavy menstrual bleeding — a medical condition that many women experience, but don’t always recognise.
You’re not alone – and you don’t have to just put up with it.
