For worried.teen, when i was your age I roughly had periods lasting three months at a time. I eventually got past it, and I'm comforted now knowing that it can be common for the first few years to be irregular.(Though I don't know if it should have been THAT irregular) Though it may seem like torture to withstand. If it still continues to bother you, you can go to a doctor.
However, I am suffering again. I'm now 19, and I have now had 4 weeks of prolonged menstruation. Sure, I've dealt with this a long time ago, but from then until recently I'd had an abnormal 2 day period every 2 months. Which was a pretty good deal. For it to be prolonged again is really stressing me out. My mother and grandmother have had similar problems before me, however, no major problem was ever found with them. I wont go to the doctor, because it cant be afforded. I'm not on birth control, and I've never been sexually active. I'm hoping it's just a hormone imbalance as they once thought I had before. But I've never read of anyone who's been very similar to me. Can anyone offer any advice?
