Thanks for the advice, @unlived. I will. I have been taking extra iron supplement, but just two of my regular small multivitamins per day. At home I have a stronger iron supplement I can take.

What has me really down today is that after five days of light, yesterday afternoon it got heavier (though not extremely so) and still is today. Yesterday morning I even thought it was finally over with. I just want to go home already from a quasi vacation I'm on. I'm guessing this is perimenopause or could even be stress-induced (I can be prone to stuffing stress), but won't fully rule out something else. I had something similar happen 1.5 through 1 years ago, but then it normalized. Back then my then gynecologist said it was not perimenopause, but it checked out as nothing concerning. She did remove the polyps I had. I hadn't had any pain from whatever it was. I have no pain now. I'm a little over 50. Back over a year ago the longest it went was 12 days. This is going longer than that. My life average was 7 or 8 days, which when normal was longer than most womens'.

I almost felt like crying this morning, but didn't. My mood is likely affected by this hormonal stuff, plus other things.
