My period is heavy and over 2 weeks?!
Question: My period is heavy and over 2 weeks!?
I have had my period every other week in the month of May starting last time May 30!. It seemed normal for first 7 days then became very heavy with clotting!. I was soaking a pad every hour!. It has slowed again but still having stringy clots and soaking pad every hour to two hours and very red blood!. I am out of state visiting famliy but called my doctor He said this is normal for a woman my age -51 but if it continued I should make an appt to be seen!. I just was at doctor for yearly pap smear in May!. I have lost 5lbs this month!. The dr seems to think this is normal because of my age Since I am out of town I can"t just make appt with my dr!. Does this sound normal!. Sorry to be so graphic but I am concernedWww@Answer-Health@Com

this exact thing happened with my mom (im 22) and she is 49!. It lasted about 2 weeks and was just as heavy, our doctor said the same thing and that it is common!. It eventually went away and she has been having regular periods now!. I can't really answer your question but I hope you feel a little relieved knowing that it happened recently to my mom too and there were no side effects!. Goodluck and dont' worry, get some rest!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Well have you been on any medication such as birth control and you have recently stop taking such medication!? That could be on cause of when your periods are going "out of wack" Because it could be backed up from stop form or type of medication you may have been or had been taking!. But i'm not completely sure, try talking to your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If this was happening to me, then I would be concerned!. But, I am only 20, so my body is different than yours!. If you feel that something else is up, then visit another doctor for a 2nd opinion!. Also get some blood work done, thats always handy to have done when this type of thing is occuring!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
