    Default Three and a half month long period

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    OK, so I got the depo shot back in early February and it spiked my hormones (of course)...then I did not get my refill shot in late April as I had been on my period for 6 weeks by this time. By not getting my refill shot, my hormones went from way high to way low. I had been on multiple types of contraception within the past 11 months or so and wanted to give my body time to normalize and get back in control. Unfortunately, I am still on that same darn period, and I'm going on week 15 now. this is really upsetting and my gyno says there isn't really anything I can do except let it run its course. I would like to have a break in this never-ending annoyance. I understand that a period is natural and is nothing to be ashamed of...but i'm seriously tired of feeling disgusting for so long now. the cramps, headaches, nausea, bloating, constipation.....its all very annoying. I was reading other threads and there was mention of using ibprofen? does that really work? if any one has any advice, please help.
    thanks for your time.

    It is the same situation I am in right now.... I have had my period for 3 weeks... I have been on the PAtch EVRA for about 4 years now.... They think I have endomitriosis... and they are trying to stop my period... which isin't working. I have taken Ibprofen to help with the headaches and the rest. It worked some what for me....I am still wating too see the next step.... Good luck
