that doesn't sound good!.
it sounds like you got a headache from losing so much blood
menstruation is when you lose your uteral lining so i can't see why you would have enough to last 3 weeks!
I'd go to the doc Hun!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, since you just started your period 3 weeks ago!.!.!.!.it's normal!. Your period is irregular the first few years!. It doesn't get regular until you are a woman!. When your period is irregualr, you can go 2 or 3 months without getting your period and then all of a sudden you get your period and it lasts for 3 weeks!. It's like this for a long time, so don't stress!. But if the bleeding doesn't stop in the next week to week and a half, go see a doctor!. Good luck & hoep this helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'm not sure if it's normal to last that long, but I know its normal for it to be brown!.!. That's just because all that blood has been sitting there for a while!. It is always common to have brown colored blood at the beginning of your period!. Good luck finding out about the rest!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Definitely go and see a doctor!. Don't be shy - they meet people like you every day and there's nothing to be ashamed of!.
The temple thing sounds like a migraine but make sure you mention all your symptoms when you go!.

If you've been bleeding out for 3 weeks, you should really probably go see a doctor!. I'm pretty sure that's not normal!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I would DEFINITELY go see a Gynocologist! It is not necessarily normal, but it is fairly common!. I had the exact same symtoms years ago and there are many conditions that can cause it (my longest period actually lasted 6 months)! Usually the doctor will put you on some kind of hormonal treatment (AKA birth control pills) as these will help to regulate your cycle!. If you have never had a pelvic exam before, talk it over with your mother or someone you feel comfortable with and ask for all the details of the procedure down to all the embarrasing details! Don't hold back because of shyness or embarrasment because the better you understand what you are having done at the time of the procedure, the easier it will go for you!. Well it isn't exactly a pleasant experience, it at least is generally not painful if you are calm and relaxed!. Face it - nobody likes having a pelvic exam, but it is something that every female will eventually have to do (and do frequently) anyway!. Good luck, and I promise you it won't be that bad!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Its wonderful that you arent having any cramping!.!.Many women dont!.That said bleeding for that length of time is abnormal and can also create anemia!.
It is important that you do make an appointment to see a gyn doctor!.He'll examine you-evaluate and make sure nothing medical is going on!.
If not, he might suggest putting you on mild birth control not for sexual reasons but to regulate your periods for a few months!.
If something 'medical' other than hormone irregulatrities is going on he might want to do a D & C to stop the bleeding!.This is a minor outpatient surgery to scrape the uterus lining to get everyhing 'back to normal'!.!.
No matter what, it bears seeing a doctor and not letting this go!.
