I'm 17 years old and I've been having problems since I first started my period. My body tends to skip my period for three or four months and then I'd bleed for three or four months. During my very long periods I have extremely large blood clots (if thats what they are). My doctor eventually perscribed birth control pills. I took those for about two years and took them correctly. After a while I decided to stop those pills for a while so I wouldn't damage my reproductive system. Once I did that, my period started up the same way it was before. I don't want my body to be dependent on birth control pills just to have a regular period. Any suggestions on other ways to solve my problem would be greatly appreciated.
