Thread: Irregular, early, heavy, prolonged period!

Im 17 and have had regular periods since I was 12.
Ive always been pretty heavy but not terribly, ocasionally with excruciating pain [but not often the last couple of years] and they always last 5-6 days.
This month I was two weeks early, starting a day or two after I last had sex.
It has been extremely heavy with alot more blood clotts than usual and Im onto day 7, with no signs of letting up.
Not that long considering other posts of month long periods but its really unusal for me.
I am not on any birth control.
I am under alot off stress ect lately and hope that it's the problem.
Im trying to get a doctors appointment asap.
If anyone has any ideas or similar situations please share.

Thanks for reading!

A little but no more than usual. I've been under a lot of stress ever since my divorce. That was over a year ago though. It was a light period. I'm thinking maybe it's my back that is out of whack and I may need to go to the chiropractor. I'm having other problems too like sensitive to the touch parts on my back and arms. I've also had really bad headaches. Anyway, guess I'll find out soon what's going on. Stress sucks!
