Re: One for the girls - please help
Hi Lass, If you have always had regular periods up until now then of course this unusual bleeding is worrying for you. However it is very, very common and since the bleeding is not very heavy I don't think it is anything to worry about. I have had periods that lasted a couple of months and I have gone without periods for over a year at a time. Your reproductive system is very sensitive to your psychological and emotional problems so please don't worry about it. When I have had periods that go on for weeks on end I have gone to the doctor and gotten pills that stop the bleeding within 2 days. This was more because I was fed up of the bleeding than anything else!
If your blood loss is very heavy for more than a few days then you should go to the doctor as anaemia may develop.
Other than that, please remember that women who have regular as clockwork periods without ever having any inbetween bleeding are more than likely in the minority!
Take care
Eibhlin
