Ongoing bleeding for over 1 year now...

I'm 19. I've had a fairly regular period until last year, where I missed it for 3 months, which I thought was because of stress. I was graduating high school and trying to get into post secondary. My mom was pushing me to do things and it was just really stressful.

Then at the end of October, I started bleeding... and I didn't stop. It took me until February of this year to see a doctor about it and he didn't seem surprised. I told my mother. She didn't seem surprised either. I told my friends. They don't seem to care either. Why is it, that when you tell someone you've been bleeding for 4+ months, they aren't surprised that something serious could be wrong?

Anyway. My doctor prescribed progesterone and it didn't do anything. Zip. Nada. Zero. I went for an ultrasound and blood tests and nothing came back. No tumors, growths, or anything serious. I had a scare with some raging emotions, so now I'm on bi-polar meds, because it runs in my family, and my doctor is planning on putting me on B.C. two weeks from now, if the blood tests I get done next week don't have favorable results.

I'm overweight. But obviously this isn't an issue if there are other women out there who only have a few pounds on them. 

I seem to be the only one in my immediate collection of friends and family that seems to be concerned about this. I want kids someday, and I want them to come from my body, not someone elses. I also want a normal relationship with someone, not every guy in the world is okay with having intercourse with their significant other while she's bleeding, and even if they are, surely they'll grow irritated with constantly engaging in sex while you're bleeding. I know I would.

As a young female, this is scary. I haven't even had time to adjust to the bodily changes and hormone changes that have taken place, and now I'm faced with an unexplanable problem with my body that no one can give me answers to or tell me future things to expect. What if when all this is over, I can't have kids? That would kill me. I guess I'd be able to cope eventually, but seriously? I know men say that women are rubix cubes, but this just takes the cake.

Hi, I am having the same problem. have been bleeding from December 2013 and it's feb 2015. I wonder where does the blood comes from. It's so scary.. Please help anyone if you can..

After a morning of being on the phone with my latest gynocologist, and being referred to a "reproductive endocrine specialist" I'm sitting here shaking and crying as I read this thread. I'm both grateful and heartbroken that this thread has been going on for years. Thank you all for giving me some sanity, and for making me feel normal in a world of "abnormal."I was given the "99.9% likely of having PCOS" label, with no definitive confirmation because "PCOS is diagnosed by process of elimination." Add my ulcerative colitis into the mix, which flares up when I have my period, and this past year has been a year from hell. I'm just tired of... this. I want control over my body back. I'm 25. This isn't normal, and I'm hoping that this specialist can help lead me to answers. Maybe.

I'm 27 years old, I've suffered with irregular periods my entire life. But for the past 14 months I've been non stop bleeding. I have days where it's light but then it will come on full force. I can't take the normal pill because my BMI is to high for it, I'm shifting weight slowly (Very slow as I have an under-active thyroid) and I've had many tests but apparently it's "Due to my weight" which CANT NOT be an excuse as I have larger friends than myself who do not suffer from this problem. I am going for an ultra sound on the 29th April and I fear that I will be told there is nothing wrong in my womb. I'm at my wits end as it's ruining my relationship and my mental health. Has ANYONE had any luck with finding what is wrong or finding something that will help stop the flow? My GP keeps asking me to have a coil fitted or an implant which I do not want.

Hi there, I went through this 3-4 years ago, my period is back to normal now but that was scary not knowing and frustrating too cause all these tests and nothing even the doctors couldn't give me any answers I was looking for. Until this dr who was filling in for my GP explained to me it may have something to do with the wall/lining of the uterus was not there or something like that and also suggest that I eat oysters, I didn't tell her the only seafood I eat is fish from the takeaways. But maybe if you mention the lining of the uterus to your doctor they'll explain it more to you. Hope this helped in some way. :)

Wow here I am reading all these girls with the same issues well I have had my period over a year and getting same answers from Dr. I get told your test are fine you just have am irregular period. Boy I love that line like no kidding lady a tampon is my close friend ugh

They did scans of my womb, they said it was fine and the only thing they noticed is that my left ovary was "missing"

I am so sorry to hear you are all so young and going through this for so long! I have been bleeding for the last month and I am 48 and pre-menopausal since 45. I really hope you all find answers.

I have been bleeding for a few years. I'm only 25, Been diagnosed with ovarian cyst and anemia. I can't stand the cold. I Been bleeding light and heavy I pass golf size clots. And It hurts in the lower abdominal area . And lower back. I also have thyroid problems. And got tested for infection and stds and everything came back clear , the doctor said I don't know what is causing the bleeding. So what is wrong with us?

I've been bleeding for almost a year. I can't stand it anymore! Changing pad and underwear every hour and sleeping on towels. Passing clots that make me feel like a chicken laying an egg! I guess it's good to know we aren't alone. Dr has me taking triple the dose of bc pills to stop it but it isn't stopping. Oh I don't know how much more I can take

I'm suffering from this as well.
Ugh.
I got my period when I was about 12 and had irregular periods (some months I would never see it and then it would randomly come on). Usually I wouldn't feel pain but every once in a while I would have really bad cramping for a few days. During my senior year of high school I had a really bad heavy period for about a month long, but after that it stopped. When I started my Freshman year of college it started up again and my period was heavy, I passed clots, and it was horrible. It continued until my Junior year. All of the bleeding had stopped, and I didn't get my period for about five months. But then it started back up. Non-stop bleeding. Most days I have light bleeding, but other days its heavy with several clots passed. I don't have insurance at the moment and I can't see a doctor about it so I just feel stuck. I feel tired all the time.

I just want it to stop.

Im daisy, try agnus catus tablets. I started taking them after 15 months of bleeding and so far i get regular periods. I still get clots but they are tiny! Ebay has these tablets for cheap. I buy two months supply for around £4

I've also had problems with bleeding. But mine has been able to be stopped temporarily for over a year both times. What I had was a DNC surgery where the doctor went in and scrapped the lining around my uterus wall. He stated for some reason my wall is almost 7xs thicker than it should be. It is not 100% sure why it does that, but I have PCOS (that they BARELY were able to diagnosis and it took over 5 years to do so). My doctor believes something about the PCOS may be causing it. When I have the scrapping surgery done the bleeding stops for a little over a yr, then for some reason it comes back. I know this information may not help much, but I hope it helps some. Tell your doctors to check the lining around your uterus, I'm sure it will show it's abnormally thick. Like others my bleeding became worse after sex, and my doctor stated that the intercourse was actually shedding some of the lining causing the bleeding to be worst. About me, I'm 32 and haven't had a normal cycle since I was about 17. The constant bleeding started when I turned 26-27.

Hey Daisy! I'm glad I checked back on this site. I'm going to try them out and see if they help! Thank you

Daisy here. At the moment they stopped working. Although i have been more stressed recently. Let me know how they work for you.
