Menstruating for 8 weeks?!
Question: Menstruating for 8 weeks!?
I have had my period for almost 8 weeks now!. It has been quite heavy with a day or two of spotting and two weeks ago I enjoyed 1 day with no bleeding at all!. This Monday I woke up to a rush of blood, and clots!. And for the rest of the day I was dizzy and light-headed!. My emotions have been all over the place from really happy one minute to screaming and yelling the next - for no apparent reason!.
I cannot afford to go to the doctor!.
Before this 8 week period I had not had a period since Feb / March this year!.
I am 24 years old with one 2 year old child!. I was not pregnant before the period so its not a miscarriage!.
I have been under a lot of stress since January which seems to account for the loss of period (my body basically stops functioning well when I am stressed) and having a period for 2 weeks after missing it for 3 months is normal for me!.
But it has been 8 weeks now and I am getting very worried - can anyone suggest what might be happening!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to see a medical person even in a free clinic, or even regular docs can have sliding scale!.
Sounds to me that you may need a D&C(a clean out, basically), or there might be something else going on!. Fibroids(fatty tissues deposits that some women just have, even in the breasts!. Very most likely non cancerous as well) can cause this too, your uterus engorges with blood and you just keep flowing!.
You seemed to have lost alot of blood, but as a nurse once told me, a lot of period blood really isn't that much if you were to measure it!.
Please, try calling even Planned Parenthood, they will work with your financial woes, but frankly my dear, your health matters to your 2 yr!. old! So, see someone, please!? Most hospital have funds that you can apply for, just ask the billing office!.
good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

My guess is that if you're period stopped for a long time, then your body still needs to rid itself of the lining in your uterus that has been built up for so long!. I would save some money and head to a doctor soon!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
u need to visit a doctor seriously!. coz 8 weeks is something to think about!. dont take any chance just visit the doctor firstWww@Answer-Health@Com
Obviously, I'm not a doctor but my best friend had symptoms very similar to yours and was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian disorder (sp!?) or PCOS!. I've included the link so you can see if it fits your symptoms!. Even severe stress shouldn't effect your periods to that extreme!. If the bleeding doesn't stop soon you should really find a clinic or something!. In the meantime, try taking an iron supplement so you don't get anemic while losing so much blood!.
