What if the bleeding gets heavy?

If bleeding becomes sudden, severe, very heavy, or different from your normal pattern, you can ask for care and bring this sheet even if it is partly blank.

What details help most at the visit?

Dates, product counts, clots, pain scores, dizziness, fatigue, birth control, medicine changes, and what changed from your usual period help more than vague words like bad or weird.

Can I use Floriva for the notes?

Yes. Floriva can hold short bleeding notes on your device. You can also print this sheet or use a notebook.

Period Won't Stop Visit Prep

A plain visit prep sheet for bleeding that will not stop, with a one-page summary, daily log, symptom notes, and questions to ask.

When a period will not stop, the details can get messy. Was it spotting? Was it full flow? Did it stop for a day? Did it come back heavier?

This sheet helps you bring a clear story to a visit. It is educational only. It does not tell you the cause. If bleeding feels sudden, severe, very heavy, or different for you, you can ask for care and bring what you have.

One page visit summary

Fill this out before the visit.

Question Your answer Bleeding start date How many days has it lasted? Was there any day with no bleeding? Is it spotting, light flow, or full flow? Heaviest day Products used on the heaviest day Biggest clot size Worst pain score, 0 to 10 Any dizziness, weakness, fatigue, chest pain, or short breath? Any bleeding after sex? Any missed period or pregnancy test? Current birth control, IUD, hormones, or blood thinners What changed from your normal period?

Daily pattern log

Use one line per day. If you do not know the exact count, use your best note.

Date Day of bleeding Pattern Flow Products used Clots Pain 0 to 10 Symptoms Notes : : 1 steady, stopped, came back 2 3 4 5 6 7 8+

Plain notes help:

"Only light pink when wiping." "Needed a liner all day." "Flow came back after one dry day." "Used three pads." "Felt dizzy after standing."

If it is light but will not stop

Light bleeding can still be worth logging. Your clinician may ask:

How many days has it gone on? Is it every day or on and off? Is it after sex? Is it after a missed period? Did it start after birth control, an IUD, or a new medicine? Is there pain, pressure, odor, fever, dizziness, or fatigue?

You do not need to guess the cause. The goal is to show the pattern.

For a day by day version, use the long period bleeding log.

If it turns heavy

ACOG and Office on Women's Health both list heavy bleeding patterns that matter. These include bleeding that lasts more than 7 or 8 days, bleeding through pads or tampons every one to two hours, passing large clots, or feeling dizzy, weak, tired, or short of breath.

If the amount, pain, or symptoms feel sudden, severe, very heavy, or very different for you, you can ask for care before the log is perfect.

Questions to bring

Choose the questions that fit your case.

Does this count as abnormal uterine bleeding? Does the length of this bleeding need follow up? Should pregnancy be ruled out today? Do I need a blood count or iron check? Could this be tied to birth control, an IUD, hormones, or medicine? Should I ask about fibroids, polyps, thyroid issues, PCOS, or perimenopause? Do I need an exam, lab work, or ultrasound? What should I track before the next visit? What changes mean I should ask for care sooner?

Keep the notes private enough

Bleeding notes can include sex, pregnancy tests, birth control, and location clues. If you use an app, know where the data is stored.

Floriva can hold short notes on your device. Paper is fine too. Pick the record you can bring to care.
