I have never used birth control contaceptives. This is the first time I have experienced large amounts of tissue during menstruation and my period has lasted more than 10 days. It seems to be clearing up to nothing, but yet sporadic minimal amounts of blood is still discharged. What should I do? I have an annual exam in a month. I will be traveling so I won't be able to see the doctor until then. Should I wait for the annual exam and deal with the problem during my traveling? In other words, would it be okay to wait that long and just monitor the bleeding.
