I am 16 years old, and i have been bleeding(on my period) for 7 months. It was caused by having the depo injection. The nurse and doctors said to have my injections early to stop the bleeding and it didnt work, so i stopped having them. 3 months on, i still bleed. I dont understand. The doctors just want you to take different pills all the time... but they make it worse. My mum had abnormal cells that could of led to cancer when she was just 17 and ive heard that this is a sign of it... do i panic?!
Hi there,
I am suffering the same from the same problem as you right now....AAARRGGGHHHH :-( It's awful isn't it? My probs started in December last year when my periods actually stopped totally for 3 months...which was all put down to stress after losing my mum after a long illness:-(.I wasn't satisfied or convinced of this but accepted the possibility...I was devastated afterall.
Since April 2nd my periods have come back with a vengeance ....still being put down to stress.I have had bloods done and not on the early menapause etc so was referred for scans etc.....a cyst on my left ovary was noticed but this may have no connection with my constant very very heavy bleeding.
Cant see how my body is replacing my loss but its constant and i am still standing so it must be coping with it somehow.
Trying to keep energetic and run a family isnt easy when feeling so weak and uncomfortable all of the time....the joys of being a woman eh?
It is a comfort in a way that I am not alone with this problem.....certainly feels that way at times tho :-(
Hope you feel better soon

Hi again,
Forgot to say before sending before.... that you should perhaps go back to the gp and air you worries and fears....cos like my scenario worrying can be the cause of the problems at times.
Get it checked again if only to give you reassurance peace of mind

Hi Karen. Thankyou for your reply. I have been to my gp again. And this time, instead of just handing out tablets, she assured me that the bleeding should stop by mid-end august. If this does not happen then i should go back at the start of september... this is when i think my worst fears will be confirmed... so i am praying at the moment that it stops.
I guess in your case, they may well put it down to stress. I went through the same thing as you just last year, and again my grandad this year, and i get headaches from the stress of it. I know there are things they can give you to stop the bleeding or at least calm it down, so maybe question your GP about them... as being in the same situation, bleeding so much can stress you out even more... which will obviously make the whole thing even worse!! I agree it is comforting that someone else is in a simliar situation, but at the same time, the way it makes me feel, i dont like to think other people are suffering too!
Hope your doing ok!
