Personal experience: this sounds a lot like me. I took an herb called Vitex
Agnus Castus, which is reputed to balance female hormones, 1-500mg capsule
twice a day with a meal, for the last half of my cycle. It helped a lot (or
the placebo effect was very strong!). My flow decreased by 60% in my
estimation.
I would have taken birth control pills, but they screw me up in other ways
(blood pressure, weight gain, depression), so I couldn't use them.
