Need some advice here
Ok so I've been on my period since late April. 2 months later and I'm still bleeding. I'm thinking it could be stress or weight gain but I dont know. Jan 08 my Mom was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. Thats when my very regular periods became a bit more irregular but still came every month. In July 08 my mom passed away. My periods stayed slightly irregular but thats when the Weight gain begain. 45 lbs in less then a yr. I also started back at the job i had prior to my mom getting sick. I left to take care of my Mom, I hated it there. No sooner did I start back to work, I started skipping periods. Then in April i started spotting and by may 31 I was so heavy I was soaking through tampons, pads and clothing all together. It's now steady but when I get stress or upset its like the flood gates open. last friday and last night for example. Last friday I had my Relay For Life event. I got really really heavy. last night I had a break down cause today is my moms Birthday and it got really heavy. I went to the doctors and they said its most likely the weight gain or stress that I'm under emotionally cause of missing my Mom and the memories I have of her being sick but I'm just worried. They did a physical exam and blood work and everything was normal but being 25 yrs old and bleeding for 60+ days is so not normal. Does any one know a way to lighten the at least the amount. the doc told me to take Prenatal Vitamins to help with Iron because of the blood loss and I have been doing that but any advice on how to get it to stop already. Further more, has anyone experienced this and actually saw an end to it? Thanks so much gals
