I am so happy I found this site. I too have been having my period for close to three months now. I kept thinking it would go away, but it just hasn't. It isn't anything more than spotting to a very light period, but I am so sick of it and scared at the same time. At first I thought maybe it had something to do with my IUD, but now I just don't know. I will be making an appt for sometime this week hopefully. If anyone else has found out any new info about what is causing this for them I would love to hear it. You can email me at krkoerth@hotmail.com
Thanks |

I had gotten married when I was 17 years old and after that I became very irregular! It started out as I would skiip a month, and it happened. THen skip 2 months and maybe I would spot alittle. And it has become really bad that I haven't gotten my period in over 7 months!!!
All tests say negative, even pregnancy, but all of a sudden I think I got my period but it seems really thick as if it is trying to come out and it is a deep brown color! And it is REAL stinky!
Do any of you know what is wrong? If you do, please e-mail me at *****

Thank you |
Hi I'm 16 years old, and I'm experiencing the same thing as you. I started having my period when I was about 11-12 years old and had regular periods. I haven't had sex yet, but I would masterbate like once or twice a month (but not putting anything in my vagina) and lately I've been having IRREGULAR periods. I haven't had them since november of 2006. and I'm really scared. I take prescribed drugs for my pimples, but my doctor said that it does not affect periods. SO WHAT IS WRONG? Can someone please tell me? I'm really really scared  |

Hi. I'm 23 years old and I'm already having my menstrual periods over than six years.
Most of the time I had really regular periods and I didn’t have any complaints on it. Some of my friends did have some problems with shorter or heavier menstrual bleeding, but, I could say was very lucky because I experienced none of these symptoms.
I'm sorry to say, but this isn’t true any more because, in past three or four months, I started to suffer from some prolonged menstrual periods.
This worries me a lot because this isn’t something women often suffer in the beginning of their menstrual periods, but something that occurred six years later.
Please, someone tell me what could cause this?

| I'm 18 years old and my period has been going on for so long it is literaly killing me. first of all i would like to thank all of you especially the first person to post about this topic. i thought i was dying and i was the only woman in this world experiencing this. now i was on birth control pills about 2 years ago and i stopped taking them because i could no longer afford to pay for them. i just quit em. after that my period became so sparse and irregular i used to forget i had one. last july i had one that lasted 15 days and i didnt have another up until 3 weeks ago yesterday. like most of u it started out light but these past two days it's been unaturally heavy, even from when they at one point were regular. it's scaring me. the prospect of something being terribly wrong with me makes me not even want to go to the GYN. it doesnt really hurt that much, just the occasional cramps. i am so afraid and any words of advice would be welcome. i am stressed out from work and family issues but i think that thats irrelevant. help me ladies. please. |

| Posted: 06/29/07 - 21:26 Post subject: long periods |
|
|
| I recently experienced a 3-month-long period. I went on Depo-Provera because my doctor thought it would help with my very painful periods. Unfortunately, I didn't stop bleeding until the doctor started me on oral contraceptives, which were supposed to give me only 4 periods a year. I had one about a month into the pills. Then, 2 weeks later, I had another one. I stopped taking the pills and am now on a mildly painful period which is so heavy at times that it feels like I am leaking urine. I don't currently have health insurance so I can't go to the doctor a lot. I'm just so frustrated and scared that something's really wrong. I've always had pretty heavy periods and have a family history of endometriosis, which is what my doctor thinks I might have. I had a child in May 2006 who, while healthy, came a month early for no apparent reason, according to my doctor. Since then, my periods have become increasingly horrible with each passing month. I can't help but think that all of these things are connected. Am I just jumping to conclusions? If anyone has any ideas, suggestions, or just general input, I'd love to hear it! |

| Posted: 08/11/07 - 13:54 Post subject: Prolonged Menstrual Period |
|
|
| Wow am I glad I found this forum! I am 46 years old and my period has been tapering off over the last 5 years or so, but now, as of today, I have been bleeding like a regular period for about 8 days now, and have never had anything abnormal happen like this. I am eating healthy (actually dieting, but on a good program: Lindora) and am taking vitamin supplements and additional iron and drinking a lot more water. I am almost sure that I am peri-menopausal. I feel for all of the younger ladies with this problem. I do hope that someone comes up with some answers for you! I will report back in a few days with what is happening to me. I know this thread is probably the furthest thing from anyones mind, but I hope for the benefit of others that come later everyone that posts will post what happened to them or what they discovered! Thanks everyone in advance for any input that you have! |

I work in the health care field and being overweight very commonly causes heavier/prolonged bleeding. If all other tests have come back nl (including an US) the weight probably is the cause even if you have always been heavy. I have seen many patients who have lost weight and periods have improved.
| stressed!!! wrote: | Im nearly 21 and always used to have regular periods. A few months ago i started to have 2 periods a month and they are really light and each last for around 10 days.
i have been to the doctors and had tests done and they all came back clear. The doctor has blamed my weight for the problem but i feel this is an excuse becasue ive always been a size 14!
If there is anyone out there that has or had this problem, id love to hear about it, its really upsetting me and feel like the only one.
thanks |

Well, I am just updating on my own post. I am on about day 13 of my period, and the flow is exactly the same. I am taking iron and vitamin c together every morning. I have been doing some reading and it looks like this is definitely a menopausal "symptom". I am going to start exercising more to see if I can help get my homones back into "whack". I am not really scared, as I am pretty sure because of my age this is my problem. I'll update in a few days.  |

Well, it stopped yesterday. Actually, it tapered off, and then is completely stopped today, so it was about 2 weeks long! That was strange, but I am grateful that it is gone and I am most likely okay. Other than getting old, lol!
I started exercising more (increased my cardio and did a bit more with the dumbbells) and I also "cheated" on my diet as I was on a weird plateau. I cheated with sherbet and cookies, and then did more exercise to compensate and went right back on my program the next day. The cheat day is when it stopped.
Hope this info helped someone! |

|
|
| I have been having a slight discomfort when I have intercourse and after intercourse I have noticed a pinkish discharge. Is this normal? Since the last time I had intercourse, my period has been on. It has never stayed on for this long, 19 days. What do you think my problem may be? I have an appointment to see my doctor next week. |
