Ive had my period for over 2 months!

[laguayaca]

Update:
I want to thank yall so much for your support I do in fact have PCOS and if anyone has had any of my symptoms I highly suggest you go see a doctor and dont settle for unanswered questions! PCOS is not life threatening but it causes infertility something im dealing with right now. It causes weight gain, insulin resistance, your more prone for diabetes, hair loss, and abnormal hair growth like back hair or a mustache--Luckily I didnt get this one, it causes cystic nasty unstoppable acne and depression. It is serious and doctors need to take it more serious. So if you have symptoms please please go. I thank God I went through this and was able to find out what I had. I have changed my life around I am on a weight loss/ cure journey. I just started a raw food diet you can follow me on youtube and you can see my progress. I hope this thread somehow helps others!

Love you!
Pray for me.





I just want to know if anyone has ever experienced anything like this! I went to the doctor already and they were no help. She said oh its normal blah blah blah tried to convince me I was depressed, I had an STD and that I REALLY need to get a job, im a stay at home wife for those who didnt know. Im really happy and I KNOW I have no STD because my husband and I were both virgins until we married! I am fully confident in that! I hate when doctors try to convince me otherwise. Makes me mad and I feel disrespected I guess its just hard to believe. My period started like normal Dec 17, 2008 and has not stopped since then. I have family in South America, Ecuador to be exact thats where im from so my husband and I decided that for me to go there and get the best medical assistance possible and e will get more for our money. A big plus is going to see my family.

I was diagnosed to have ovarian cyst 3 years ago had it removed and after that i have been regular until now. I am thinking I have a ruptured cyst or something point is im really freaked out! So ill be leaving in about 2 weeks to go seek medical treatment there I will try to keep yall posted.

I just hope that this helps someone or that someone could help me if they had ever had anything like this before.

I just cant take the mood swings, blood loss and breakouts anymore.

I'm sending you blessings and hugs. I'm sorry that I don't have any info about this issue, but I hope you feel better.

I am no way a doctor but it is possible that you PCOS ( polycystic ovarian syndrome). All the things you have said sound just like it. It basically is a hormonal imbalance and cyst on your ovaries is part of the condition. It is easily treated with birth control pills to get your hormones in line. There are other treatments though. Do your own research because i am not a doctor. I have had an extra long period like this and my doctor said it could be PCOS or stress. She suggested i take motrin for the bleeding as directed on the bottle until i could come in and see her. The motrin help stop the bleeding.

If you have any questions you can pm me. It couldnt hurt to have your doctor look into it if you have PCOS. Its not life threatening. But if you are bleeding very heavy you need to get treatment no matter what maybe wrong because you could become anemic with all the blood loss.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[iadoremac]

Something similar did happen to me but it was for like 3 weeks, i drank some herbal stuff cant remember what it was and then it stopped.but i was told its normal as for your doctor not being of any help i suggest you get another opinion

 

[MissResha]

that sucks!

when i first got my period, i was bleeding for 30+ days. i became anemic, weak, and my health took a plunge. they put me on birth control at the age of 14 to regulate my cycle. then i gained hella weight. i hated that shit. over the years, my . has been irregular. even now. i just got off mine after NOT having one since last september during an Obama rally in Fredericksburg! i got off the pill maybe 2 years ago because it fucked up my sex drive and made me an emotional wreck. i'd only want some wang like, one week out of the entire month, and i'm a scorpio soooo...yeaa... i kinda need it a LOT lol. but just last week, i bled really really heavy for the first 3 days, i had EXCRUCIATING cramps. its weird but...definitely go see a doctor because it could be a number of things going on. it sucks that has to happen to you

 

[vocaltest]

i'm no help as to why you're bleeding.. but i've been bleeding now since august last year so i feel your pain!
mine is due to my pill. i can't take the combined pill due to migraines, so i have to take the other type (can't remember its name). i don't want the implant, injection, or coil so this is my only choice unfortunately. but its not like... full on period if that makes sense, i just basically have a few drops every day and for 2-3 days a month i get what would be considered a normal period. some days its heavier, some i get nothing at all. what i get now is mild compared to how it was when i first started on this pill. but anyway, i'm tampax's biggest customer right now, they should bloody reward me i tell you. i hope you get it sorted out okay

 

[laguayaca]

aww thanks for your help...
yeah its making me a wreck!
i miss my time with my hubby

i am not in birth control i dont believe in it. i use condoms.
i dont use tampons since last time i got a cyst.
ive been gaining weight like crazy for no reason , i eat at home snack through the day and eat one meal a day. i drink plenty of water.
im going to south america for 2 months and get any treatments i need i will keep yall in the know.

I am so sorry that you are going through this. I have had problems with bleeding for 2 years now. They have done numerous tests and everything and can't find what the problem is. I have been anemic for about 8 months now and generally feel like crap all of the time.

They have put me on pills to stop the bleeding but doesn't work for me and I am taking 9 a day to just control the severe bleeding. Ask you doctor to prescribe Norethisterone or Tranexamic Acid. I am taking both of those right now and either should work for you.

I just recently had more tests done and the doctor said that if everything comes back normal they will be giving me a hysterectomy.

It sucks going through this but go back to the doctor and tell them it isn't normal to be having a continuous period for 2 months and that you insist on being sent to a gynecologist. Good luck with everything.

its good to know i'm not alone...i hesitated on posting this but decided to because it may help others

My doctor gave me norethisterone when my bleeding was really heavy but I had to stop taking them because they made me SO constipated, it was horrible! I know its not a nice thing to talk about, but I couldn't go for about 3 weeks, I felt even more awful because of that than the bleeding. Needless to say, they did stop the bleeding for a good few months even though it was only supposed to be temporary.

I've never had anything like this so I'm not really much help, but I am sending good wishes your way! Please keep us updated on how you're doing

I do have problems sometimes but I have IBS and so it sort of contras everything then for me. I go normally but without the added problems of IBS. I have been taking N for about 5 months.

Sometimes... i feel like i am a walking illness. I am sick all the bloody time with something.

I don't think I can be of any help here medically as I'm not a doctor, sorry =[.

Although one time when I was 15, I had gotten some light spotting a few days before my period was due (that was awkward for me at that moment because I never got any spotting before my period only had spotting as my period was about to end). It stopped after that one day. It came back two days later and then stopped until that night when I went to the bathroom blood just kept gushing out (sorry if it's TMI!). It looked like a murder scene in my bathroom and I was scared. I ended up filling up a whole tampon and pad within like an hour and a half to two hours. I had to miss a few days of school because I didn't want to have an accident and be embarrassed. When I finally did go back to school I had to tell all my teachers about what was going on so that they could let me go to the bathroom practically every hour. This went on for about a week until I went to the ER finally. The doctor said I had menorraghia and that he could put me on birth control pills to prevent this from happening again.

I haven't had my period before this month since the end of October (I'm doing the whole Nuva ring thing where if you immediately put a new ring in instead of having that "placebo" week you can skip a period.). Today is the 9th day I'm on it!

I understand about going back to your country to receive treatment. My mom has some health issues and the doctors that our insurance pays for are seriously the most incompetent people ever. They don't give a crap about her either. My mom is planning on going to China this summer to see a doctor and receive treatment their instead.

I just hope everything works out fine for you in Ecuador and they can finally figure out what's been causing all of this and do something about it.

I have IBS too, I wish it that effect on me! I feel like that sometimes... I'm not as bad as I used to be though touch wood.

I am so sorry you have to go through this. My mom who passed away in Jan 08 had the same problem. It turns out she had endo and possibly a cyst. This happend before she passed though. They gave her an ablation and she never had that problem happen again. I don't understand why doctors don't listen to women. Not just about girl issues but every issue.

 

[TISH1124]

Over 2 months...girl I would have been on my 30th 2nd opinion by now....I hope you figure out what is going on...this does not sound right....

 

[SparklingWaves]

I would defiantly go to another doctor. Your body is talking.

I'm glad you started this thread. I used to have a very regular cycle. Over the last couple years it has gotten very bad. I have had severe pains from time to time and I once had my period for 3-4 months straight an it was very heavy. I didn't feel well. Losing all that blood made me tired all the time. I was faint and weak. It was horrible. Even now it's not regular. I went to the doctor and from the preliminary testing he did he thought I had PCOS. I was on the pill for a while to manage it but I didn't like HAVING to take the pill so I stopped. Then, I went to a health food store that my parents have been going to for 20 years. They recommended the Super 75 multivitamin. It was a lifesaver. My energy was up. I stopped bleeding. I just felt normal.

Super-75 - 180 - Tablet | VitaminLifeHealth

The woman at the health food store was very familiar with PCOS and suggested a much more natural approach to fixing the problem. She explained that cysts occur in our bodies when we can't effectively eliminate toxins from our system. Her suggestion was to prevent the toxins to begin with. She recommended that I change my diet and eliminate processed foods. My dad has been telling me that for 20 years. She recommended getting rid of dairy and eating more natural foods, not organic but eating foods that come from the ground and eating them in a way that isn't far off from the way they occur in nature. For example, lots of vegetables, whole grains, beans. Cut out pasta and bread. She did say that it's very important to still eat protein. She encouraged me to eat meat and fish and poultry - even eggs! It makes total sense but it is VERY hard to do. But, I am thinking it's probably going to be the best way to go to improve my overall health.

ETA: If you decide to try the multivitamin know that it does turn your urine a yellow-green. Don't freak out though. It's very normal.
