Having read through all these posts, it is intersting to see that other women have the same problem I do. I get my period for 6 or more weeks at a time. Last year one lasted 5 months. I went to Planned Parenthood and got two different answers....PCOS and Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding. Does anyone know more about dysfunctional uterine bleeding? I have found tons on PCOS. Any suggestions from anyone who deals with this problem?
