I'm 29 yrs. old and I've been having my menstrual cycle for 3 weeks to 1 month with about a 2 week break between each period. Along with my period I have huge clots. This has been happening since I had my daughter in 2006. I saw a doctor about it and he just put me on birth control pills to try and regulate it, but that just caused me to have blood clots in my lungs. I went on Coumadin and my period was normal while I was on the meds. Now I'm off Coumadin and my period went back to being long again and with the huge clots. Is there something my doctors should be testing for? Why am I having a 3 week menstrual cycle? Can this cause complications with conceiving again? What is wrong with my cycle?

I'm 33 been bleeding for 3 mths, it is steadily getting worse. Have been to dr, he can't seem to get me in to see an ob until May, that's another month! I have been cramping a lot, huge blood clots, and have to change my pad about every 2-3 hours. Is this something I should visit ER for or just wait the month and see what happens?

Hi there, i have been bleeding for about a month. I went to the ER in the first week this was happening because my period was very strange I would soak through a super absorbency tampon every 30 mins, this latest 3 days straight, I called they gyn, they actually refused to see me and had me sent directly to the ER. The ER trip only told me a few things, one that my life was not in danger, two they gave me a script for sprintec that stopped my bleeding for about a week. My period is back and it's still the same month, I have a gyn appt in the books for next week. Bottom line if your very concerned and feel you are in a life threatening situation def, go to ER. To be honest I wish I didn't go, it didn't really solve my problem and I was sent home from the ER as girl that had a heavy period, I kinda felt silly and was left with a 1700 dollar ER bill.

Hi I've had the same issue and I just started taking prenatal vitamins and it stopped after a few days. I'm sure it's different for everyone else but hopefully it works.

I have never taken birth control pills until a few weeks ago. When I first started, I took the pill one week before my period. I got my period on the expected day, however it won't seem to stop bleeding. It's been almost 2 1/2 weeks since I've been bleeding.

I've been having my period for three weeks now. My period has been normal until this month. I bleed about the same amount everyday, and it is maybe enough to fill half a pad. It isn't a lot, but it is a real mood killer, and I'm ready for it to stop
