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.
An exploratory surgery revealed an unexpected outcome - she was bleeding from two uteruses.
Despite having been through four pregnancies and countless scans, the rare condition - known as uterus didelphys - had been missed.
Jade has had an IUS coil fitted since then and the bleeding has been significantly reduced, meaning she can go about her daily life again without worry for the first time in years.
