You shouldn't have your period for two weeks, especially not with blood clots. You are right to have some slight concerns. You may have an ovarian cyst, for instance. Just in the last couple of months here on EmpowHer we had a 16-year-old girl whose period was VERY heavy and wouldn't stop (longer than yours) and she ended up having large cysts and an infection and had to have a hysterectomy. I do not want to scare you but I do want to give you that information so that you know it IS possible to have a problem at your age that needs a doctor's attention. Are you having any pain with your period? And is this the first time it has gone this long?
Here is the thread from the other girl who had such trouble with bleeding and pelvic pain:
She would definitely tell you to get this checked out. Most likely since you are on birth control pills, it is just something hormonal. That can happen very easily and it isn't serious at all. But if you start having pain or if the bleeding just doesn't stop, you need to get it checked out, OK?
