Really Long heavy Period!

ok so my periods usually last at least 6 or 7 days, but they arent very heavy.  this month however, it came 3 days early and its been over a week now ( like 10 days) and really heavy with a LOT of clots.  is there any reason this might have happened?
i just recently started going to the gym and getting back into shape but i heard that is supposed to make your periods lighter or shorter.  im miserable is there anything i can do to stop it!  

ugh

When i first started, I had 23 day periods... Ten days isnt too long, mine are generally around that mark. I would go to the doctors though if it continues.

I have had similar periods such as the one that you are having or have had, there could be many reasons for this. I went to my OBGYN and they put me on medication to slow down or stop my period. My advice to you would be to at least call your OBGYN and speak with a nurse about this, If they were to put you on a medication such as the one that they put me on and it does not work you could have to have many tests done. When it happened to my mother she ended having cervical cancer. I just don't think you should sit around and wait for something to get better when it could be something getting worse..
