Due to irregular bleeding and prolong spotting I had two hysteroscopies (June 2010 and June 2013). Just a few weeks ago the spotting came back right after my monthly period. not wanting to go through any more procedures I did research and came across the ACV on this site. I tried the raw apple cider vinegar and water and the next day the spotting has completed stopped. I was in shock because I thought it wouldn't work for me. The only question I have is how long do I have to drink the ACV? Does anyone know?

Hi everyone, I just want to share my story about heavy bleeding for anyone who is going through the same thing. I had my period in May for 5 days it was really light (i have irregular periods since I was 13 im now 33) then 3 weeks later my period started again and for the next 8 weeks I had really heavy bleeding and I was passing blood clots. Whenever I stood up I could feel that I was going to have a really big flow and had to get to the toilet asap. It was awful some clots were huge and I thought that the bleeding would never stop.
I was going on holiday at the beginning of August and I was dreading it as I couldn't go swimming like this so 4 days before I went I came on this website and read about Apple cider vinegar, to be honest I thought it was too good to be true and I didnt expect it to work but I went to a health food store and I bought apple cider vinegar and also the apple cider vinegar tablets. I put two tablespoons of water in a glass with some water but I couldnt drink it as it made be gag so I put some orange juice in it but I still couldnt drink it so I had the tablets, within 2 days the bleeding became so light and by the time my holiday came it had completely stopped!! I couldnt believe it I have no idea why this helped.
If anyone is going through the same thing please try ACV as I thought the bleeding would go on forever and im sure it would if I didnt take the tablets! Sorry for the long post but I just wanted to give some hope to people who are going through the same thing.

I started taking Apple Cider Vinegar for weight loss reasons. So I had been taking 2 tbsp 2x a day a week before my cycle. When my cycle started I noticed that my cycle was very light. So I looked it up and sure enough, it said it can help with heavy bleeding PCOS. What a difference that made!!! Plus I stopped drinking alcohol for that time...I read that alcohol causes heavy bleeding too. So with both of these changes, my cycle was enjoyable. I hope this helps others!!

I was taking ACV for about 9 months--2 tablespoons in orange juice every evening. For my fibroids. Then I stopped for about 2.5 months. I just started again. ACV never really lightened my heavy periods. It just made my period shorter. That is, the 2 days would be very, very heavy. Then much lighter the next few days. And then gone after about 3 or 4 days. ACV has helped with other issues (lethargy, respiratory cough). But I still get heavy Days 1 and 2.

I would like to share my experince with Apple Cider VInegar (remedy):
I am 50 years old and had been experiencing flooding (term I was unaware of until my OB/GYN used this label for extremely excessive menstrual and mid-cycle bleeding) for about 6 months. I was bleeding 6 months STRAIGHT, without stop.... to the point where use of a maximum-flow tampon would not inhibit blood from running down to the floor, 5 or 6 times a day. It was just horrible. I was searching on-line for a solution to this demoralizing, debilitating problem, when I came upon references to ACV as a remedy for excessive bleeding.
I started the next morning: 2 T ACV mixed with 1/2 cup water or orange juice, quickly sipped down with a straw, then followed immediately by a full glass of water. I mention these practices specifically, because you'll want to drink the vinegar as quickly as possible, and then, be certain you have rinsed it all down your throat and diluted it in your tummy. (vinegar is so acidic that you need to protect your teeth, throat, and tummy).
I am sorry to frighten you with the preceeding warnings, but they're important precautions to take. However, it is worth drinking ACV, and being careful about it, too, because I found that it entirely stopped the flooding problem I had been experiencing. About a month ago, I became complacent, and missed an entire day of using the ACV, and I immediately had break-through bleeding the next day. So, I started faithfully right back on my routine of 3x a day, and NO MORE BLEEDING PROBLEMS FOR ME! That brief day when I got lazy and stopped using the AVC, and the immediate relief I found when I started using it again, are sufficient to keep me using ACV.
I have never been any sort of holistic/organic/folk person when it came to making decisions about medical care... but I certainly have changed my mind, now!
Good luck to anyone who tries this- I hope you have the success that I have had!

My cycles came twice a month and heavy each time. I start taking Apple Cider Vinegar everyday with one to two tablespoons added to one cup of water a day every day and throughout day drink plenty of water. It took about 2 months for the heavy flow to stop.

I found this website when looking for a home remedy for my prolonged menstrual bleeding. I was getting my period for 3 moths or more at a time. I have PCOS and before, I had to take progestrone to make me get my periods so I could get pregnant. Once my son was born, I had the opposite problem and couldn't stop bleeding. I bled very very heavily for months on end, feeling tired and weak. Also just feeling disgusting, and it was causing some feelings of dissappointment because my husband and I weren't able to share any intimate time because of my constant bleeding. So I read this website and thought to myself, I doubt this will work, but let's try it anyway. To my complete amazement within 1 week of trying this I stopped bleeding completely! It's been 1 week now with no period at all, not even spotting! (which is a miracle because I wa constantly spotting inbetween). I've been taking it for 2 weeks now. I am also surprised, the taste isn't bad at all. I expected it to taste disgusting, but it's really not bad.
Another amazing surprise, my sister said it looks like I've lost some weight, so I got on the scale today expecting little or no loss at all, but I was SHOCKED when I saw I'd lost 18 lbs! WOW! This product is fantastic and I'd reccomend it to anyone!

I was so over the heavy period situation every month, I had to find a remedy so I've been drinking ACV two times a day and I have really noticed the difference it is definitely an acquired taste but its something you can get use to, especially if its going to help you.

I started using ACV 2 months ago. Originally I did this in order to help lose weight. But I noticed that my period dramatically decreased the first month. I thought it was just a good month that I had a normal period without all of the heavy bleeding. So 2nd month came around. I didn't do the ACV the 1st day, I had a heavy flow that night and that morning. I immediately decided to resume my ACV just to see if it actually worked. Within a couple of hours, the flow decreased drastically. Also, the benefit is that I am actually losing weight slowly, but I'm losing weight.

I just went through an unsuccessful IVF cycle and I was having a horrible menstrual cycle - crushing pain and very heavy bleeding. I have a history of endometriosis and I started to get worried about what was happening and whether the endo was going to get worse. In addition, it was difficult to function because I was in so much pain and I don't like to take any medicine unless I have to. I read about ACV for menstrual issues, so I tried it - 2 tbsp in a small glass of water three times yesterday. By yesterday evening, I had stopped bleeding and the pain was completely gone (in the am, I was bleeding heavily and in terrible pain). ACV works and I am hoping that continued use will help me to get pregnant!

I had tried so many remedies for excessive menstrual bleeding all helped a little but did not stop my bleeding. I was told my only option by my physican was surgery yet my blood count was so low that she could not even do that. ACV stopped my bleeding completely in 2 days! So after 8 months of non stop bleeding and numerous natural remedies I found relief in 2 days from ACV. I tried the liquid but switched to tablets due to stomach upset. I now can address my anemia caused by my blood loss. I am not sure how or why this worked, only know that it did!!!

The problem began almost 2 years ago, it may have been a coincidence, but it was after I began drinking oregano tea.The menstrual blood was dark, thick and my periods changed. They became regular (had never happened) and they shortened but they were heavier. Went to several doctors, received no help and was diagnosed with various terminal illnesses that I ended up not having.
Fast forward to last month, the bleeding didn't stop. The periods arrived every 25 days and lasted for over a week. I was spotting and having clots as well. Of course, I was terrified. I couldn't see a doctor due to the pandemic, and so I decided to try remedies.
ACV worked immediately, but after 2 days, my stomach hurt a lot and I got acid reflux. I decided to stop and the bleeding came back.
I tried another remedy from here, cinnamon tea, and it worked magnificently for the bleeding (1/2 cinnamon stick boiled in 1 lt. of water, 1/2 a cup taken 3 times a day).
If I stop the cinnamon, the blood comes back. As for the stomach problems, I cannot eat anything slightly acidic or I get the pain and reflux again and it lasts for several days.

Thank you Earth Clinic!!! I have no idea how it worked or why it worked but it did. The apple cider vinegar stopped my bleeding. I was bleeding for 28 days and it did not look like it was going to stop anytime soon. I stumbled upon your site and saw that people said apple cider vinegar stopped their bleeding. I took 2 tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar 3 times daily and in 7 days it completely stopped. The heavy bleeding stopped in two days. I was ecstatic. Again thank you!
