Hello Everyone
It was such a blessing to find this site. I am new here and I hope I can be as helpful to you all as you seem with everyone else.

I am 34 yrs old, the mother of 2 boys ages 15 and 8.
I would not describe my period as normal but this recent situation has me baffled.

I bought a house in the summer. Well it was a stressful time. the move was quick and sudden and we really had to uproot our lives to make it happen. During the months of June-September I had the lightest period you could imagine. NO pain , no need for heavy pads and this for me was highly unusal since I am usually about 7 days and heavy.
I spoke with a nurse who told me with no other symptoms it could be related to the stress and if something was to change let them know.

well October I missed a period and then November it came back to being moderate in flow but lasting about 10 days .
December 13 I began my next period and I am still on my period now on Jan 3
the first week was light, almost just a few drops of blood and nothing more. and the next week was a little heavier with quite a few clots. It seemed to taper off a little but still I passed about a clot a day. Now today its been very heavy . Lots of clots lots of bleeding. Its like there is no end in sight.

I have a gyno appointment on the 26th of this month and they are aware of what is happening and only advised me to call if I begin passing large clots or soaking a pad an hour or any pain or fever.
I am TERRIBLY scared. I honestly fear the worst and I just cannot stop thinking about all the things that could be wrong. A lot of the nurses think the stress from my summer threw off my schedule or ovulation and its just regulating itself again but I am freaked out. Honestly the bleeding is the only symptom I have although since its been three weeks I can say I am a little more tired and drained. Has anyone ever been through something like this before?

My mom went through this last year. Her periods would last weeks and weeks and be very very heavy.

They had found some cysts, I believe, but she ended up having an ablation done and has been fine every since.

Sorry I can't be anymore help, but try not to think the worst of it.

Welcome to the forums and be sure to keep us posted.

I'm having the same problem. My period has always been irregular. Some months I would get it and some months I wouldn't. This has happened to me once before when I was 19. It lasted a month and went away. I had my period in November 2009 and did not have one until the end of January. Like I said that's normal for me but it's now April and I'm still on it. It won't end for some reason. I've been on my period for 3 months!!! At first, it was light and brownish for a while then about mid February it was red and heavy, there was large clots, and I would soak through the pad within 20 minutes. For the past 3 weeks it would go from light to heavy all day. I don't know what to do. I know I need to see a doctor, but I just graduated from college and no longer have health insurance. (I had the school's health insurance) What's worse is that I'm anemic and some days I'm so fatigued I can't get out of bed. I don't know what's wrong with me. Is there anything I could do?

I'm having the same problem so far. I've been on my period for a week and a half and it's showing no signs of letting up. And now it's been doing some clotting too which has never really happened to me before like that. The strange thing is though I don't have to change my pad every hour so it's not a heavy heavy flow but the clotting is scaring me a little plus with my period going on this long is concerning me. I'm sick of wearing pads already! I don't know if it's because I've missed my period for three months that's causing the heavy bleeding. I hope it stops by the end of this month at least.
