I am happy to see that is thread exists. I finally decided that enough was enough and I have been online for HOURS looking for something that will help me with this. I am 23 married and trying to have a baby, so birthcontrol for me is out. This has never happened to me before. Last year in november 06 I had really heavy bleeding with a blodclot the size of the palm of my hand, my husband made me go to the ER, they did tests and sent me to the gyno. All of the test came back normal. In August my husband and I started trying for a baby, and my periods have been a little irregular, but I figured it was due to the excitement. But now it is the 9th and I have been on my period since like december 20th, and it is driving my crazy. I feel great, no pain. I think my husband is about to go insane. I am tired of this. They can't find anything wrong and my doctor refuses to do anything until it has stopped and returned to somewhat normal. I am freaking out here with that same thought that most of you had that I am bleeding to death.

We just need answers.

You know I just thought of this, everytime that it seems to almost maybe go away it winds up coming back even heavier after sex. Even though I am on my period I refuse to let it cramp my sex life. I have to get mine one way or another and my hubby feels the same way to lol. But I think this may be due to the fact that the uterus contracts during sex and orgasms. And also during orgams my doc said that the bodies natural level of estrogen is elevated. Which can cause more bleeded, heavier bleeding or the start of a period.

I am also part of the prolonged bleeding gang. mine has been going on and off since the start of November. It was very light to start with and by the third week had built up to the point where I was a bit worried I was hemorrhaging and then tapered off after the first week of December - 5 weeks in all. I then had about 2 and a half weeks off with only one day of spotting and then it's been back on again. Once again I'm on about my 3rd week and I'm changing tampons about every 15 minutes or so. This is the only time I've felt at all sick (just a bit shaky). There's been no pain and I haven't felt sick in any other way.

Oh, and for statistics, I'm 36, I've never been on the pill and my period up until now has been normal except for when I was younger it used to be more painful. No kids, not currently sexually active (thank god) but was until about 6 weeks before this all started.

I've read this forum before (the last time the bleeding got really heavy including blood clots) and it reassured me that I wasn't alone and that my choice not to go to a doctor is a valid one considering no-one else here seems to have been diagnosed with anything. But I had forgotten how scary it could get when the bleeding gets really intense. On the other hand, I didn't die last time. And the weirdest thing is that generally there don't seem to be any physical side-effects at all (other than those things that were already there).

This is getting long. So, anyone want to compare notes as to what mental or emotional triggers could be connected? Several people have mentioned stressful situations. Just looking for another way to look at this as I suspect looking for a purely physical reason isn't going to work.

I firgure when I like things a lot they tend to go away. but irritating things seem to stay forever, so from now on I am going to love my period. Hoping it will go away. I am coming to the conclusion that there is no solution or reason for this problem... Maybe our bodies are producing too much blood and this is the only way to expell it.

The only thing that I have read on here and that I have been told myself is the build up of the uterine wall. I just wish it would stop...

I have had my period for 34 days now. I am 22 and a virgin. I have no history of complications, and I am not on birth control. I'm not in any pain, and my flow is medium to light, but it is consistant and red with no sign of stopping. I just don't understand...
