Wow. I have also had my period since about a week before school started in August...but mine does tend to be heavy. I don't have cramps either. I just went to the doctor yesterday, and if you haven't gone to the doctor, you should. You could get anemic. Have you been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome? Insulin resistance? You could have a hormonal imbalance...estrogen dominance and low progesterone. Have you ever been on birth control? If not, the doctor will probably put you on it. They just started me on Femcon Fe. It could also be a more serious problem such as a uterine fibroid. All I can say is work up the nerve, and go the doctor. If you could give any more info...then I might be able to tell you more.
