No to the children. I did not always have heavy ones. I wouldn't say they were lite but I wouldn't have to change pads during the day. Around 37... somewhat gradually I started having to change the pad in the middle of the day on my heaviest day. I would also get ghost white looking.
I believe that as you get older your natural progesterone in relation to estrogen starts reducing. This increases the thickness of the uterine lining. Restoring your levels of progesterone to closer to what it used to be will keep your lining thinner and reduce bleeding.
One reason I tried the natural progesterone was to see if it worked. It did. But I know a friend who had a uterine lining ablation procedure and that worked too. She had kids.
