What Causes Heavy Bleeding With Clots And Painful Cramps During Periods?
Does it really matter if you were not already on birth control pills if you go ahead and start them prior to starting your next period. My periods are horribly bad.....horrible bleeding, excessive passing of clots and extremely painful cramps and I would like to just go ahead and start them now.
