Q: 

Should I see a doctor?

Last month I got my period like normal. Only this time it was different it lasted 4 weeks. I had no cramps, no moodswings, nothing. For the first two days there was only spotting (which was odd). Then the remainder of the four weeks was medium to heavy flow and blood clots the ranging from the size of a quarter to a half dollar or bigger. It's only got a one week break from my cycle. It started again Friday. This time it was right straight to heavy flow. I'm feeling nauseous, and crampy. I'm not sexually active. I'm a college student, but not under stress. I actually enjoy my classes.

Hello and thank you for sharing your question.

Any time you have periods more frequently than 28 days a part you need to see a doctor.  Your case is especially urgent since you only have a week break between bleeding.  This is very dangerous and needs to be treated as soon as possible!
