Thread: 13 days... starts and stops

I am beginning to be really worried. My period usually lasts 7 days, but it has been 13 days this time. The first 5 days were normal, then I stopped for a day and then started again. The weird part is that I will stop for about 12 hours, bleed semi-heavily for about an hour and I will have a large clot, about the size of an egg yoke. I will then stop for another 12 hours and then repeat the process. This has been going on for about 7 days.

I have had a few longer periods before, but nothing like this. I did have a really long cycle last month, about 38 days. Could it be stress?


Thank you

Hi ladies. I just registered to become part of this forum, as I stumbled on to this post while researching the same issue that I have been having for about a year now.

Unfortunately, it seems to be getting worse and my husband's insurance sign-up doesn't kick in until May.

I've had cysts on my ovaries and cervix before, but nothing of concern. I am hitting the big 36 in May, so is perimenopause out of the question, or can women start in their 30s?

I'll be digging around to research other similar posts, but figured I'd start here first.

Just hate the waiting game until I can get checked.

Have a wonderful weekend, ladies!
