Prolonged period

It’s been three weeks and counting for this period. I’m 48 and this the first prolonged period that I’ve had and am so over it. Anyone else experienced this and have you found anything that helps? I’ve started drinking raspberry leaf tea as I’ve heard that helps. I just recently went to 2 cups a day and I have seen it slow it down, but each time I get my hopes up that it’s ending, it starts up yet again.

Yes I experienced 2 periods in a month …started taking maca powder which a natural dr recommended and now I am regular again. Should see a Dr of some sort about it

When I first entered peri around 36ish, but didn’t even know what peri was, I didn’t have an OB that I trusted since the one I had for years for regular pap visits treated me so awful during my first pregnancy. I had tried several diff OBs & made an appointment with a new woman doc, I was so happy she had a new patient opening, bc I had 5 periods in a row, or at least that’s how it felt, 1 would end and start up again a few hours later equaling 5 weeks straight. She didn’t even tell me about peri and basically brushed it off as no big deal. My periods are really painful & my BP was really high at this point, but she basically told me to relax, didn’t even do an exam, just vitals & q’s. Sorry I’m no help, I think it’s pretty common for us to blown off for this issue. From there my peri symptoms bc more obvious & I basically diagnosed myself for my next and final OB, who actually does take my health seriously. I did get a 9m break from peri during my last pregnancy, it’s almost temping😂
