I'm currently on my period for the last 8 days. It's extremely heavy, with non-stop blood clots and heavy bleeding that requires changing a super tampon and nighttime pad every 30 minutes. I'm 49 years old, not using any contraceptives, and have a history of irregular periods with heavy bleeding and blood clots. I'm also a type 2 diabetic on insulin, Ozempic, and thyroid pills. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I need advice on contraception. I just had a baby at the end of January and have been getting my period every two weeks since about 5 weeks postpartum. I've had trouble with hormonal birth control in the past and am nervous about using it again, especially with my current irregular cycle. Additionally, I'm experiencing pain with using a tampon and am unable to have sex. What are my options for non-hormonal contraception, and is it advisable to start birth control with an irregular cycle?
