Heavy period

Has anyone ever had a heavy period for over a month. started with spotting and then my normal bleeding and now over a week of parting of the red sea. Went to gyno yestersay i have 2 small fibroids outside of my uterues. He wanted me to go on Hormones which i dont want to because of breast cancer in my family and ive already had 3 cycsts removed. He wrote me a script for junel fe a low birth control pill but with all the side effects and reviews no way i like doing the natural route. We talked about ablation but that was up to me. i was looking up today drinking cinnamon tea which helps with heavy bleeding. i did blood work on friday and im not anemic . any thoughts ladies i would so appreciate it. All i know is men have it made it in the shade what they might get jock itch or chafing whoop de frickin do and they would be in bed all week lol
