Thread: 2 Week Long Period? HELP!!!!!!

I'm 20 years old, sexually active but not currently on birth control.

I have had mostly regular periods, sometimes late sometimes early, but nothing that has ever made me worry, until now.

My period this month started a week early. It started light, then went to about normal, and then got light again toward day 7. I figured that just meant i was almost done which would be the norm for me. Well, im going on day 13 now and im still having a light flow like a regular period.

All the information i can find is for women already on birth control or women approaching menopause. The only factor i can think of that has changed is that I very recently became sexually active. I also took Plan B after my first time, I have heard that can change your cycle but this is just too weird!

I dont have insurance, so I cannot really afford to see a doctor unless it is absolutely imperative. I'm hoping someone here can help me!!! I'm seriously scared!

Hey Lindsey I just happened to glance at your post and it's funny I just asked a similar question on another post.

I'm experiencing the exact same symptoms as you after taking Plan B but my period seemed to have stopped for a day and is back with a vengeance or something. I'm on day 10 currently and going through tampons veryy quickly, it's absolutely bizarre. Hoping to learn when to expect this to end, as I've never needed to take Plan B before.
