Period won't stop

[hitc]

I started my period last week. It went on for the normal 5 days,stopped for a day . Now it's back again I have had it for almost 3 weeks now. I am very tired . Has it got something to do with the blood loss.

[dana anne]

Hi there
I would definitely go to the doctor about this to be examined.  Yes the fatigue can be from all the blood loss and possibly low iron.

[tnt406]

[Heather428]

You might want to get worked up for a bleeding disorder.  Von Willebrand's disease is common for females and can cause elongated periods.  Many can be controlled with birth control.

[JoAnnaRF]

Heather, Thanks for noting the chance of Von Willebrand's Disease. I never heard of it until my teenage daughter started her period and it just didn't stop. She was tested for EVERYTHING under the sun including Ultrasounds, bloodwork etc.. She was also tested for Von Willebrand's and was negative but for it as well. We to this day have NO idea why she has this problem. She has been on a number of different hormone therapies which have to be changes every few months when they stop working. Without the pills she would bleed non stop. This has been the case for almost 3 years now and she is a Junior in High School and thinking ahead to her future which hopefully will include children. She asked me recently if she will even be able to have children considering the fact that stopping the pills means she has a neverending period. I don't know what to tell her. We have been told so many times that her body will work it all out, but after several years, I am doubting their advice. She has an annual in November and I intend to push for more answers and not just a refill. Anyone else have a clue?

[hitc]

Thanks for your advice. My period finally stopped a few days ago.

[jenny_is_busy]

I am 25 years old and have not been able to get my periods under control either. They just last forever. They used to hurt really bad too, but now they don't. The only thing that has ever made any sence that I have been told is that my hormones are not at the levels that they should be. (Maybe due to a low thyroid). Unfortunately I have been suffering through the periods without medication since October 2004 because I was hoping to get preg. I was told this was a possibility because the bleeding does not always correspond with ovulation. It is emotional to live like this, it is really depressing to wear a pad everyday. Please share any help that you find and I promise to do the same.

If anyone can help please do thank you x

[CARBONAPUNX]

I AM 19 AND I HAVE RECENTLY GOT THE DEPO SHOT NOVEMBER 8 OF THIS YEAR. NEVER BEEN ON ANY TYPE OF BIRTH CONTROL.WELL I DIDNT GET MY PERIOD UNTIL  THE 14TH OF DECEMBER.IT WAS 5 DAYS LATE BUT I HAVE HAD IT SINCE. IT IS NOW THE 26TH OF DECEMBER.  AND ITS STILL GOING. DOES THIS MAYBE HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SHOT?

[Lisa129]

Yes it is because of the shot, I'm having the same problem.   I also took the shot in November 19 and started bleeding on December 10 haven't stop since then.  I'm not going back for my next shot, I rather go back to the pill or just use condoms. I have contacted my doctor and she told me that this is a side effect of the shot.  I have been going crazy trying to find out how to stop the bleeding myself but there really seems to be no way of controlling this.  I have read if you take Ibuprofen for 10 days or if you get your next shot earlier then you are scheduled, or if you start on the pill.  I have tried the Ibuprofen I have been taking 1000m a day and it has been 6 days now it has not stop, so I'm thinking of just riding it out and let it get out of my system on its own.  

[steph999]

i was on the depo shot for about a year and i had the same promblem for about 6 months. im not off the shot and it started back up again. i have been on my period since sepetember. and it is now january. if anybody noes what to do please let me know.

[XGODDESS]

I WAS ON DEPO FOR 5 YEARS, I HAD BLEEDING THE FIRST YEAR STEADY, THEN 1 DAY IT STOPPED AND I DID NOT HAVE A PERIOD FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS TILL I WENT OFF THE SHOT!

[vonsha]

I too have been on the depo shot since December 11, 2008 it is now April and i've been bleeding everyday since then. I think I might have been without this drama for 1 week, and then it started again. I really need to no how to stop it...first it was light bleeding that i could handle but now Im bleeding heavy, Im in hell. Whats the point of this shot if you cant even have a life with it. One thing i have to say is, this is the best birth control ever, cause i refuse to have sex period, now.........Someone help me.

[Rae81]

I am 27 and have been on my period sense February, recently it has become very heavy with huge blood clots.  Last night I went through 8 pads in 5 hours.  My period has always been irregular lasting for 3 months then not getting one for 2-3 months.  I had blood test and an ultrasound but everything is normal.  Does anybody have any suggestions?

[zee123]

last year i had my period for 6 months straight. now itd back again and ivve had it for over a month.  heavy constant  bleeding. went to few different doctors tried few different birth controls. I gained over 40 pounds from birth control.  nothing has helped. doctors dont know whats wrong with me. i am tired all the time. all i wanna do is sleep. i am so depressed. i dont wanna talk to anyone anymore. its so frustrating.  i just wanna know whats wrong with me??  

[tiffles87]

i too was on depo for over 4 and a half years and never had a period! loved it!
i then decided to stop (JAN2008) and let my body clean its self out .........worst mistake ever!!!  
At first it took 3 months (APRIL 2008) before i started having my period, it was bad , lots of clots , pain ect and it went away for less than a week, it came back abnormally faster than usual (previous to depo) so i decided to go back on depo straight away.
i hate my period.
but it seems this time it has had the opposite effect on me and it didn't stop and i still have it.
its going on 3 months now since i first started bleeding, i too am very tired and i have tried 2 lots of medication that hasnt worked and am now at the stage i am going to see a gyno asap!!!
wish me luck ladies xoxo

[tylerohh]

In November I had the depo provera shot. I didn't have my period for 2 weeks and then it came and has not stopped. It's now 3 days until August. I have a doctor appt. for the 1st and that was the soonest I can be seen. I want it to go away. I'm scared it won't. I think I'm getting anemic and that might explain some of my severe exhaustion etc. But it's been 8monthes almost 9. Know one told me this was a possible side effect.  

[yid83]

about 5 years ago i had my period for 3 months straight- went to the gyno and she didnt see anything wrong, a week later it was gone and my period went back to normal. now im 25 and this march it went back to being crazy. it has gone away several times but only for a couple days and then came back. yesturday i only had it for about an hour of the whole day. i dont feel any pain, just occasional headaches and i get tired faster

i hate going to doctors, i dont have medical insurance, and i am deathly afraid of needles. am i crazy for wanting to let it ride out in hopes it will just go back to normal again?

[j568]

Hi
Phew.  Sounds like depo provera and stuff mess us up.  I was on Depo for 10 years and didn't have a period once.  Stopped a year back and periods started again as normal once a month for 5-7 days and with pain, then I stopped long term oral steriods in April this year, periods were fine then only last 1-2 days, then 10 days, then 1 day and now 3 weeks ahhh.  I have been prescibed 200mg Utrogestan 3 times a day for days.  Anyone else had this treatment?  is it rough?  the pamphet has scared me a little

[kickasst]

I have been on my period almost solid for about 8 months and I have siddenly gained lots of weight. To the others in the same situation how did you get it under control?

[daisydeseree]

im 23 years old. i have been on my periuod for 8 weeks. Im so over it!! they switched me from a month period on the patch to a aver 6 weeks a period well bad idea i guess for me. Since the 1st 6 weeks i was on my period for 4 weeks (which i expected it to mess it up at first) but than a few weeks late i started again and this time around its 8 weeks. They put me on the 200mg of estrogen and it was horrible it didnt make me stop it only made me a basket case!! My emotions were out of control i bloated so bad and had horrible cramps and back pain!!! since that didnt work they put me on the 600 mg of ibuprofen every 4 hours (for inflamation (inflammation) of the uturus) it didnt work. On sunday they have me starting the ring (a new birth control) and 1 week of estrogen.... i will update you with how it works at the end of the week.... let me know if you have any thoughts....

[lilbonna]

I have been on my peroid for the last 4months. it acts like its going to stop one day but the next day i have a very heavy and clotie day. please tell me what i sould do?

[summi786]

you should go doctors and theyll put u on the pill. they should help, same thing use to happen to me!

[brookepaige]

I've been trough all of this & more.I am 32. I used to get mad at the Dr's b/c they would rush me & thow me on a pill that only made me gain weight. I was tipping the scales at 320+. I got to the point that I didn't care anymore. I gave up. I finally got tired of being obese and not being "normal" w/ my period that I decided to see a nutritionist. Here is what I paid a lot of $ for. So far I have lost 40 pounds in 3 months and my period is NORMAL! Kinda funny that I was told that my weight was the problem. It was the food! I am now on the Glycemic Index Diet and have learned that foods can alter your hormones and cause several problems with your body. The period is usually the 1st thing we notice at a younger age. Then as we get older we notice more problems like Asthma, Type II Diabetis, Edema and several other problems. You don't have to be 300+ pounds to feel the effects of not being healthy. Some people are skinny and look fine (ON THE OUTSIDE). The diet below teaches you how to eat foods that keep your pancreas from spitting out insulin which grabs every little bit of fat, carbs & sugars and stores them which becomes body fat that begins at the stomach. Below is all of the info you need to start on your own and save you some $$! This is so easy it should be called dieting for Dummies! Diabetics can do this diet as well as anyone who wants maximum energy, cardio health, and level hormones.The foods that you will be eating will make you feel full and digest slowly which help your insulin (hormone) to stay at a normal level.

Get the book called THE ZONE (it's not a lot to read or learn)
Read the web about Glycemice Index Dieting
Check these websites once you read the book:
*http://www.active.com/fitness/calculators/calories.htm
*http://www.nutritiondata.com/tools/nutrient-search
*http://www.onlineconversion.com/weight_volume_cooking.htm (enter the weight you want to become if you're trying to lose)

Helpful Hints:
*drink only water with no additives (they change the H2O chemistry) and cause you to dehydrate
*for every 25 pounds you're overweight add 1 8 oz glass to the 8 you're supposed to drink
**cold water, no ice (the colder the water the slower you drink it) Only drink room temperature water when exercising so you dont cool your body back down & have to start the caloric burn over again.
*IF you drink any tea, diet soda or other liquids they do NOT count towards your required water
*buy only foods that were once ALIVE (meat, cheese, eggs, produce)
*do NOT buy fat free! it's not good for you!
*Dont think "I can eat all the meat I want" you still need to watch fat & caloric intake.
*eat breakfast!
*do not eat egg yolks. there is something in them besides cholesterol that makes you gain weight.
*Pumpernickel, Rye, multigrain or whole wheat bread only 1 slice.
*do NOT pressure cook your food. It breaks it down & you digest it fast
*corn off the cob only. cob carries most of the starches.
*watch the salt!
*if you crave for pasta only eat "NO YOLKS" in moderation
*berries of any kind are very good for you!
*max of 3 fruits a day (1/2 of a banana) No melon unly Honeydew.
*don't gorge yourself. watch your intake. eat meat the size of your palm. You can have all the veggies you want. except pumpkin & squash.
**EXERCISE! only do cardio if you're trying to lose pounds & fat. Weights will cause fat to harden & muscle to build which will make you appear bigger & weigh more. Get the pounds off before you tone.

Don't go for cereals or oatmeals. No bars either. Eat egg whites w/ cheese & bacon bits or veggies instead. Hot foods are more satisfying. If you are on the go. take a hard boiled egg, pop out the yolk. For AM snack have some fruit w/ low cal cheese. or cottage cheese. Salad w/ boiled chicken breast for lunch. Apple for PM snack & lean meat with lots of veggies for dinner & for evening snack some hot herbal tea with some fruit. I usually dont eat the evening snack b/c I'm too full. I drink lots of water & go to the gym before bed.

*If you work out before bed your body will continue to burn calories while you're sleeping!


Good luck & best wishes to a healthier you! God Bless!

[brookepaige]

I forgot to mention a couple of things above...

No potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams or rice. every now & then is ok. Not w/ every meal.
No Juice. you can have an occasional glass of DIET V8 fruit juice.

Cinnamon (in pill form) and Chromium Picolinate (helps to metabolize sugar) B6 & B12 Vitamins. All of these are from the vitamin isle at any store will give you lots of energy! I take Chaste Tree Berry  and **** Qui to help with my periods (research it on the web).
Also, you can take a diet pill with this diet (I don't b/c I want to do this as naturally as I can). Check with your Dr. before taking anything. Check this site for good prices:
http://www.vitacost.com/index.aspx

Weigh yourself & measure everywhere write it down & put it away for a month. Give this a try & I bet you will see the difference to a healthier you & a normal monthly cycle that you can depend on being on time.

Plan your meals!  Brown Bag meals that you need to eat while you are away from home. If you need fast items, boil chicken breasts & put seasoning after or hot sauce or mustard. take boiled eggs & fruit buy the pre packaged lettuce & throw together a salad. Use oil & vinegar for dressing or low calorie dressing. Get some sliced turkey from the deli to munch on. (Stay AWAY from the fried **** they thow out to tempt us with)! Rotesserie chichen is really cheap & quick-remove the skin & fat & toss in a salad.
**Buy your food every three days instead of a whole cart full of stuff you're going to stuff yourself with & blow your $ on. Try to stick to natural choices not boxed or over processed foods. Watch for empty calories (stuff that has calories & doesnt fill you up).

This is the cheapest & healthiest way of doing a "diet". Believe me! I'm on a very tight budget & actually have saved $.

[thiinamaree]

I am 29 years old. Every since I started my period it only lasts for about 7 days. This month, my period started and it has been 3 weeks and I still have my period. I am a big woman, so I don't want to get on birth control just to gain more weight. Is there anyone who has maybe experienced this as well or has some kind of advise. I don't like having a period at all, and today when facing public I came home to find a period spot on the back of my pants. This is driving me crazy.

[jammers122]

i have had my period sence halloween and its the 2nd of december at first it was a normal period and then it stoped around the 11th i wasnt scared cause my period usually does that but then on the 15 i got it again very light it stayed that way for a week then it got very heavy to the point where i gotta change my pad like 12 times a day and ive been having some large blood clot can some one please help me

[jammers122]

im going to the doctor tomorrow and im really scared of going because my period has been all screwed up fo a long time about a year but the last time i got it it lasted from 10/31-and is still going on december 4 so im kinda nervous cause some one told me that it sounds like cervix cancer and i was just wondering if i had that and didnt know for over a year now and never new could it spread to other areas of my body and would i still be able to have children in the future if it did
    ~just a little nervous
-but if anyone thinks this sounds like cancer to them please let me know

[Gulabo]

hello all you elongated period folks
i am 24 yrs old right now, but when i was 14, i had my period for about a year.  it was light and spotting all the time in between the real periods.  i was depressed, tired, everything you all are going through.  then i went on the pill, and the first period i got on the pill was like a mad rampage, i thought i was internally bleeding.  i could only wear a tampon for less than an hour without soaking through it, so i wore a tampon and extra extra mondo pads.  after that though, things became more regular.  i'm not saying that you all are going to have the same happy ending, because believe me, i still get elongated periods.  the most recent one was a month long.  the pill helped me a bit, but i still had some spotting.  i am no longer on the pill and i barely get my period anymore.  it all depends on what my body feels like doing.  this seems like such a common thing and nobody knows what the heck is going on!

i spoke with my cousin, she has had the same thing.  my aunt on the same side of the family also used to have it like this.  maybe it is a genetic thing?

[jammers122]

i went to the doctors today and he said i dont have cancer but i have large cyst on my ovaries and that my period would just work its self out maybe thats what wrong with a cupple of you he said that i have nothing abnormal in young women im only 20 years old so he said that i was perfectly normal weird that its normal to have a period for over a month and very heavy but i just wanna thatnk everyone who wrote on this because it  made me feel better knowing that im not alone

[nicbar33]

Hey ladies, I’m 33yrs old. I’ve been on my period for 12days now. I’ve always had an abnormal period. Sometime I have my period three times a month, but it has never stayed on this long. I’m what should I do?  

[AquaGrl08]

Hi Nicbar, I suggest you to go and visit your gyn, he or she might ask you to go and do an ultrasound to check if there is some fibroids, cyst or any other condition that causes the long period, I am not sure what you can have but I just recently found out i have large uterine fibroids and due to them I am experiencing heavier periods.
What I have read that is important to check the level of the hemogolobin or iron in your  blood which can become very depleted due the heavy flow and that can lead you to weaken your system.
He or she might put you on an iron rich food or therapy to restore the levels to give a good quality on life while finding out whats the deal with the heavy or longer period issue.
It is not a burden at all to get back your iron either way. the most important thing is to find the reason why you are lving this...and from there take action.
Good health to you! Take good care!

MY PERIOD BEEN ON FOR LIKE 20 DAYS AND AM ONLY 18 YEARS OLD WAHT DO I DO

[liz408]

i been having my period almost a year i will stop for one day every 2 monthes and come back what could i do

[beauti5]

hi everyone. Its nice to see that i am not alone in this. I am now 24 years old and have being having trouble with my period since I was 17. At first i missed it for a whole 6 months. As i was not sexually active i wasnt worried but happy i didnt have it to deal with. when it came it went for 4 months. It was heavy, full of clots and quit painful. After going at it alone for 2 years i finially went to the doctor. They place me on the pill which controlled it. I gained 100 pounds on the pill and last year i took myself off it. Bad mistake. My period is out of wack again. It is now going since last November and we cant get it to stop. I went back on the pill but it isnt making a difference. It just keep getting heavier. I am back to the doctor this week, we will see what they say.

It is hard. I am always tired and feeling sick. I have no energy and most the time cant tell if i am up or down. my emotions swings from one extreme to the other. Its not something you can explain to people. I feel as if i am alone in this. My family expect me to be normal, and that is the farthest from what i feel. They thinks its just my period no big deal. they dont get that it affects everything. It takes everything i got and more just to get through the day. All i want to do is just sleep.

[Infamous29]

My gf is 16 she has a lump on her right breast and her period has been going for about 3 weeks,Any ideas?I'm really scared of losing her

[joanna18]

Im 18 years old and have been haveing my period for a month now, Iv been really skeptical of going to the doctor because it feels like its almost going to stop, but the next day I check my pad and it is full, I usually have really irregular periods, like Ill get it really heavy for one month but I wont have it for several months after that, this is the second month that my periods been going for more then 3 weeks, Iv recently started working out so maybe that might have somthing to do with it, can someone please help me.

[am8zing_one1]

hello, i'm 15 years old. i started my period when i was about 12. ever since then i have had very heavy periods. this consirned me so i went to the doctor and they said that heavy periods were normal but that my body was loosing so much iron that i needed to start taking iron pills. i have been on them till this day but baout a month ago i started again and i knew it was unusual becasue i had been on my period 2 weeks before. but i thought it was just going to be a short period well it will be 4 weeks this saturday. i'm have been reading all these and i getting really worried. i'm supposed to be going to the gyno sometime this week, but i also am a big girl and i really don'e want to gain 100+ pounds from being on birth control. it really ***** becasue i don't want to have this problem when i'm so young...i'm worried about being able to have kids and everything...if anyone can help me please...i'm listening

[skydancer88]

I went through the same thing last year. I'm 21. I've had my period since I was 11, but it has always been irregular. I would get it for 3 months and then not get it for 3 and the cycle goes on.

Last year, I had my period on March and I didn't get the next one until September. I thought it would only last a week, like it always did and because the flow was lighter, but it didn't. I had a really heavy flow, way heavier than my usual (1-2 pads per hour), with huge blood clots. It's like the pad would be soaked the moment I put it on, like I was just leaking blood/blood clots. This went on for another 3 weeks until I decided that it was too much. I was tired all the time. I was lethargic. I stayed in bed for days, only getting up when it was time to change the pad. I couldn't even get up without getting dizzy and having blurred vision. I lost too much blood.

I told me my mom about it and she took me to my primary physician. He suggested that we go to the ER to get a CBC and ultrasound stat. The results were normal except for my Hgb which was 6 and the ultrasound showed the I had some extra uterine lining (? - I think that's what it's called - the part you shed when you get you period).

I was diagnosed with PCOS, based on symptoms. I was put on BCP to regulate my period. I know there's a risk for weight gain, but I still weigh under 100 lbs even after almost 1 year on BCP (yes, I eat a lot.) It worked for me. I've been getting my period regularly and with a moderate flow until now. I was suppose to get my period on Monday/Tuesday, but I still haven't gotten it. It's making me worried because ever since the pill, I've always been on target. I get it Monday/Tuesday after I start the placebo. It's already Wednesday and I still haven't gotten it and I'm scared that history would repeat itself.

Rae: I know you posted this a year ago, but I just want to know how yours was managed. I don't want to be on the pill forever. I have plans to have children, although I hear it's quite hard with PCOS.

Beauti5: My gynecologist told me that I would probably only need to take the pill for a year, just to regulate my period. I'm suppose to go see her in a month. You said that everything went back to how it was before the pill when you stopped. Do you know why?Did you find an alternative for it? I don't want to feel the same way I did last year, but at the same time, how long would I have to keep taking the pills. For now, it's okay, but what if I want to start my own family?

[adore26]

    I'm 21 now and have my had my period non stop for ten years, ever since the day I got it.
    The old gynecologist I went to years ago, put me on medroxyprogesterone, apparently I had been prescribed to high a dosage which caused me to faint, and I do not care to try it again.
     Yet this put aside, I know many other people on this medroxyprogesterone prescription and it does works wonders for them.
    I was recently told through a friend that there is a herbal vitamen called "chasteberry" seed extract that can be found in vitamin shoppe, it helps to regulate your hormones. I started taking that along with iron pills and did manage to get my period to stop!  I took  these two pills and did stop my period with no side effects.  And no  fainting occurred!   I continue to take the iron pills daily, however I stop taking the chasteberry when my period stops though continue to take the iron. So now whenever my period wont start or is continuous I will start up the chasteberry again.

Check it out ladies!

[draconic]

I am 25 and currently on day 8 or so of a period. Yesterday I did feel fatigue and cramps but today I feel fine. Aside from that I have no pain and the bleeding, while red, is very light. Only one pad a day. There doesn't seem to be any blood clots that pass either. When I started this cycle I did have a very bad cold, I'm not sure that's related though since everyone in my household got the same cold. The blood was a bright red for a while but now seems to be dark again.

I have no history of sexual activity. Will this resolve itself? It may not be a hindrance on my life much but it IS annoying.

[missyr22]

I also am having problems with my period! I have had mine for going on 10 weeks! I am 28 and have had my tubes tied two yrs ago. I dont know if I should be worried or what. I have a doct app next week but wonder if I shouldnt wait and go to the hospital

[luzana2]

i Started my period the last week of September, Peiod was normal (as I always get very hrtfull cluts of it... and alot of pain..!) but ended after the regular 5 days and came back a couple day later. it has been almost a month now that i have had my period and My boyfriend id begining to worry.. I dont have Medical Ins. so I am sorta hoping it just goes away and goes back to normal. I have been feeling eatreamly tired and have had a headache most of the time to go with the bleeding.... I do feel very weak when I wake up in the morning ( have to be in bed for like an extra 20 min after I wake up just to feel up to Standing..). I am only 24 years old and am begining to get worried... What should I do?

[kristaxjayy]

i really think you should go to the doctor and ask them to check your iron levels.
this has happened to me about 1year and a half ago. i had my period for 5 months before i went to the doctor.
You're probally anemic because i was.

[kristaxjayy]

i'm 18 and when i was 17 that happened to me. I had my period for the regular 5 days then it came back a week later for 5 months! the tiredness and headaches is from the loss of blood. Most likely you are anemic. you should go to the doctor so they can check your iron leval. you might need a blood transfusion but you might not.
As for the stomach pain, not to worry you, i also had an ovarian cyst growing in my abdomen that could be the case for you but i'm not a doctor. i'd suggest you go get checked out insurance or not because i almost died and that would be terrible to happen to you.

[C0ncernedM0m]

--- UPDATE---

To All that is experiencing absent periods, irregular periods, heavy periods, Non Stop Periods, etc. My daughter has had her period for over 6 months now, straight. She has gone to her regular OBGYN and he has did a pap, and an internal and exteranal ultrasound. Her test came back negative. He said this appears to be a "HORMONAL' matter and recommended her going to see a Reproductive Endocrinologist  Specialist.

Because of her symptoms, she has the following: Long Heavy Periods, Anxiety, Acne, headaches,unusual hair growth, excessive weight gain, and even depression.

We saw the specialist today, and she is going for extensive blood work tomorrow and then a biopsy on her uterus on Tuesday.

I will keep everyone posted.... In the meantime, Please don't wait another minute to find help, ONLY YOUR DOCTOR can help you. If you are experiencing any of these systems make arrangements with your OBGYN or DOCTOR, and let him/her know what is going on.

Take care all!
