Period lasting for about 6-7 weeks

[Dreamena]

I'm 25 and I have always had irregular periods, but now I have had one that has lasted about 6-7 weeks and counting. It's sometimes heavy and then most of the time it's light. Sometimes it's like 'period' blood and other times it fresh - like i've just cut myself. I've been to see the nurse and she did a few blood tests and the results are i have to go back for a prolactin test in 3 months. She also did a pregnancy test - but I can't be pregnant. I'm about 3 stone over weight and the nurse said that wasn't the problem. I am not taking any medication and i'm not on any birth control (my fiance had a vasectomy in 1989). I have recently changed my diet for the better - eating fresh, homemade food instead of processed. I also haven't had any major stress in my life recently. When it first started i was tired a lot - but not after 6 odd weeks, i don't seem to have any side effects. Can someone help please.

i have had my period now for a month and 3 weeks, and when it seems to be going away and i get stressed for any reason i get a heavier flow(but its still light) I've been to the doctor but this was last yr and prescribed me birth control pills, i was suppose to go back within 5 months but never did. i had them test new for anemia but luckily everything came back ok, i was told that maybe it was normal because im little, im 21 yrs old 4"11 and weight 90 lbs. i also had a cyst that caused internal bleeding back when i was 16 due to my irregular period, i was in pain for days couldn't move only from my bed to the restroom. i really want to know what's going on!

I'm 50 and going on a 14 day heavy bleed. I am so sorry that most of you are younger and going through that. Mine = THE CHANGE. Only problem is, I am anemic, and weak and tired of bleeding. No one understands unless they have been through it. IT *****.
Good luck to us all, stay away from drugs and hormones, do as much natural as possible.

what is sad is i been seen by so many diff pple for this problem.. had problem not having my periods then after took 6 years to have my baby girl since after having her few months latter i started  back the same got the depo and for 8 months now been on my period, cat scan, x-rays blood work, and Constant ER visit random guesses LIKE endomitriosis could be some of your ladys answers can be pain full or not at all and can cause long periods or none at all no cure.. But Now day no insurance no sugary were the best answer relies having LONG periods IS NOT NORMAL EVER... but it will be said to u if ur insurance dont cover a simple exploratory sugary. Witch now a year latter fighting getting it done on the 24th pray all u ladies fined ur answer or a doc. that will take the time to look in to it.. Last person i seen said the Clots is my body fighting off a infection..

Hi,

OMG girl, how are you doing?  It's almost a year since you wrote this, and I have just found your entry.  I hope you are well into your recovery, cancer-free:)

You make me want to schedule with a GYN ASAP!

Hi KiraKoi. I am 31 and my story sounds so much like yours. I was wondering if you have gone to the doctor or had any changes since you last posted in January of this year?

I started my periods when i was 12 and has been irregular from the first year or so. Recently i went 4 months without a period which has become my normal and then started. The only problem with finally starting is that it has been ongoing for the past 6-8 weeks. A friend gave me some birth control pills to try to stop it so i can go to the doctor but they dont seem to be helping at all. This is all so frustrating!
