I feel your pain, almost-- I'm 23 (w/ no history of cervical, vaginal, or uterine cancers in my family... that I know of) and I'm on day 31 of what seems like a never ending period. My doctor seemed to think it was hormonally-birth control related, but that was a week ago and I disagree. I was on ortho tricyclen lo for 2 years and was so regular I could predict to the hour when I would start. In May I spotted for like a day (for the first time after starting that particular pill in July 05) but it went away and my period came like normal. The next month I started 6 days early and then my period lasted for 13 days! The doctor felt nothing was wrong and it was perhaps stress related or something. The next month was fine. The next month again I started early - 8 days early this time - and I haven't stopped yet! That particular doctor changed my birth control about 2 days prior to this and I started it when I was supposed to, but it hasn't helped my period stopping AT ALL-- I could attribute this prolonged bleeding to that, but its another oral contraceptive and I've torn up forums on this subject and bleeding like this only seems to occur with Depo... which I WILL NOT get.

Since the change, when I didn't stop I made an appointment with a different doctor, who told me the same thing. I've heard the same thing, ALL they've checked on me is my hemoglobin level (its 15. I'm fine there), ZERO physical exams, and the office didn't do a CBC in office so that wasn't done either. Tomorrow makes day 32 and I'm really really starting to freak out! These 31 days have not been days of spotting-- its an actual blood red freakin period! Albeit its light, but still. Help?! Does anybody know what it could be?? I'm in nursing school and as a student of self diagnosis at the moment, any thing I can come up with is on the horrible end of the spectrum... and I KNOW a month long period isn't normal!!
