A mum with bleeding so heavy she got through 30 pads a day - costing £600-a-year - discovered it's because she has TWO uteruses.
Jade Williams, 31, began getting heavy periods after the birth of her first child, Elouise, in November 2012, when she was 19.
They grew heavier and heavier over the years but doctors didn't know why.
Even after having three more children - Ajay, seven, Maisie, five, and Sienna, four - Jade's bleeding persisted and doctors struggled to pinpoint the reason.
They tried her on various medication but nothing worked and the bleeding became so intense she would have to wear nappy-sized period pads and two pairs of trousers to avoid leaks.
She would get through 30 pads a day - costing her around £600-a-year - and would bloat so much she was "bigger than during pregnancy".

00:00So 2012 I started bleeding heavily. From then I was still bleeding even throughout pregnancies,
00:1120 to 30 pads a day, just constant. I had to have leggings on top, obviously a lot of cramping,
00:18clots. I was taking iron tablets, everything like that. So I just had enough, sat at the GP and said
00:23I can't go until this is sorted. Then got an appointment for a scan, that was eight weeks
00:29later. I then got a call from the hospital to say that I needed to go straight in for another biopsy.
00:36They'd done their biopsy and said they needed to have an operate to investigate more. So as soon
00:40as I come around they said it's one in a million, you know, women that have got two uterus. The
00:47left hand side has now failed, so there's not much they can do. They've been trying to investigate
00:52from other women, but obviously it's hard because it's mainly all in the States. Other women have
00:56got two uterus that has been found. They've had twins. First proper summer I can wear, you know,
01:03as and what I want without feeling like nervous going out. I can go swimming with the children
01:10and yeah, sleep happy. Anyone that's obviously having the same issues, a lot of bleeding and
01:16it's always best to get checked.
