I did this on & off for years… Had to end up changing docs…was told I had endometriosis & could not get pregnant… I ended up pregnant & miscarried… this ended up getting worse & then was diagnosed with cervical cancer… Go see another doctor or tell your doc you want testing done…
Please try visiting another doctor. I had a similar situation but mines was caused by DEPO shot I was taking. Sometimes birth control can make the situation worse than it already was.
I have pcos and I bled for 3 months straight and it got so bad I was basically hemorrhaging they put me on the pill without any testing and it took a few months for the pill to start working but it did end up regulating me good luck with everything
Well I was pregnant and had bleeding
What birth control did the doctor put u on and how long has it been since you’ve been on it ?!
My mom was on her period for 3 months at a time and it was always super heavy.
I had my baby in sept 2019 and had my first period a month later. Bled for 10 MONTHS STRAIGHT after!!! I went to dr many times had lots of test and such…never found a reason why it happened I tried birth control it made it worse so we stopped it after 3 months and eventually I slowly stopped bleeding and now I’m having normal periods. Still no idea why it happened
You may have uterine fibroids. They cause you to bleed a long time
You could also be having an eptopic pregnancy as they don’t usually show up on a test and needs to be found by ultrasounds ect. If that’s the case you need to go see another dr today and be checked as it could result in death.
You need to find a new dr & quickly.
Did you take the jab? Or have you been around anyone who did take the jab? They have been saying that that can be the cause. I have a niece and her daughter who had the same thing happen to them. They didn’t take the jab, but they have been around their mother a lot and she did take it. They had blood clots the size of your fist. But by all means seek another doctor and demand an ultra sound. A person is not suppose to loose that much blood.

You need blood work and a new doctor. I hope you saw a gynecologist, if not get to one asap
Have you had your thryoid checked ? If not, do so
I would be trying to find a new Dr.
I had to have a hysterectomy when I was 35 for this
Greatest favor I ever done myself. Hope you get help. Love and prayers.

You need a pap to check for cervical abnormalities
I would definitely get a 2nd opinion. I had irregular ones and it was my thyroid, then several years later I would go 2 weeks be off few days and start again and passing bigger than half dollar size clots, was told it was bc I was premenopausal, I went and got a 2nd opinion, she listened to me and did internal ultrasound and saw some cysts and abnormal growth, had a hysterectomy and turns out I had adenmyosis, and not premenopausal yet.

maybe u had a miscarriage. u shd see a different doctor
Nuvaring for me … still feel like my uterus will fall out but its only for 3 to 5 days not 3 weeks at a time
You should really just go to the emergency room. My sister in law ended up being rushed to the hospital and need idk how many blood transfusions due to loosing so much blood on her period. but she was in rough shape but she is also a vegetarian which was affecting her iron she’s on the bigger side and I do belive she genuinely has pcos but I’m not a dr but really wish you would go to the er
Unfortunately pcos can severely mess with your menstrual cycle. It can cause you to go months without a period, or have periods that are several months long. For some birth control does help, and others it doesn’t do a thing.
I went thru this after getting my tubes tied. After bleeding for a month straight the doctor did a test on my uterus, and found out I still had placenta inside of it, they finally decided to do a dnc and endometrial ablation and cauterization. Never had a problem since!

I did this for several months also. It ended up being endometriosis. I had a laparoscopy surgery. That along with birth control pills controlled it for awhile. I ended up having 3 laparoscopy surgeries and finally had a hysterectomy. This was a 17 year journey to finally get relief. Hope you get some answers and relief.
I would get a second opinion. With all that blood loss, you are most likely anemic. Please get help.
New Dr, I did something similar and almost died. Had emergency hysterectomy for my issues. There were few other circumstances that made mine necessary.
I’ve had 2- 9 month periods and 2- 6 month periods and it’s awful. I have pcos.
O wow 
take care of yourself God bless 
Please ask for a referral to an OB I had this problem and regular docs just think it’s no big deal but when I finally got the referral they treated it very seriously. I was anemic and had to have iron injections which suck! I got an the Bc shot of every 3 months even though I’d had my tubes tied. Insurance didn’t want to pay for it my docs office paid for it for 1 & 1/2 years. I finally had a partial hysterectomy which solved the problem. Sorry for the novel but please see the OB you’ll save yourself so much hassle.
I was bleeding like that had to have polyps removed to stop and slow bleeding i was almost point taking extra clothes to work with me. U might have some problems like this or more but see a dr tofind out for sure
I had the same issues for year i was changing every hr if i was lucky 2 went threw a bunch of testing to find out i needed a hysterectomy at the age of 29 due to endometriosis
Bled for like a year straight, nothing was ever found wrong. My body just hated me
Cysts, hormone inballace, pcos, endometriosis, tilted uterus, inviromental factors, and stress.
Endometrial ablation! I was the same way with horrible cramps as well as blood staying so low all the time doctors were always trying to give me blood. Bc pills, shots , patches nothing worked. Had the ablation done after years of suffering and I am telling you it is a life changer!!

Yes. They told me the same thing. I’m about at the point of taking my uterus out.
I had my period for three months and I went to my gyno who did some blood and sent me to a hematologist and that’s where I found out that I had hereditary elliptocytosis
Get a second opinion and birth control can make bleed up to 6 months.
I have PCOS and I had at least 7 vials of blood to confirm it. You might want to look for another dr
You need to see a new doctor. PCOS needs testing, not assumptions. It could also have been a miscarriage, and your body hasn’t passed all the placenta yet. You could go into shock. You might need a d+c
Endometriosis or change of life … how old are u ?
Have you ever gotten you thyroid checked out?
Get off the birth control ASAP! Not sure what you’re on but when I took Depo it did the same thing to me!
I just found out I have endometriosis ask your doc to check everything!
You need a different doctor.

Victoria Moskal just reading through the comments look at all these issues, just like the symptoms you’ve had.
The birth control didn’t work for me either. Had a D&C…didnt help…ended up putting me on megestrol…Started out taking 4 a day and had to be spread out 6 hrs apart or I would start bleeding again…I have weaned my self down to 4 a week now but have not had any problems for like 10 years
I would go get a second opinion. This isn’t normal, and if you’re truly losing that much blood you’re more than likely anemic at this point.

Did you get the vaccine?
After my first child was born i was on mine for 14 months straight, no matter what they done nothing helped, 3.5 years later I had my second and done the same for 9 months. My doctor wouldn’t even see me anymore because I had to go so much that I racked up so many bills. It’s was horrible so I found another doctor and they did a hysterectomy, it was my last option!!
First of all, this is the only comment i think I’ve seen on here without someone laughing and being a dick! So yay! Anywho, get a second opinion. Yes, it may be pcos but still bleeding for months straight isn’t good. When i first started my period (age 12) I bled for an entire year straight. My grandmother raised me so I was too embarrassed to tell her, but by that year Mark I couldn’t get out of bed, couldn’t do really anything I was so weak. Went to the dr, and they did put me on birth control to help regulate. I do have pcos, but regardless, bleeding still, after the birth control, you need a second opinion, and some other treatment
I wouldn’t even stop for the week on the BC pills. Eventually you will stop having a cycle or if you do it shouldn’t last more than a day. I did this for about 12 years when my periods were so bad. I wasn’t diagnosed pcos just a lot of ovarian cyst and very heavy long cycles. Like 17 days on 10 days off and repeat. Took about 6 months to really notice a change.
I think you should see an OBGYN. Theres definitely something not right.

I had this exact thing happen when I was 38. My GYN ended up taking a biopsy during a papsmear, sent it off and called me 3 days later…it was uterine cancer. I was referred to a gynecologist oncologist who confirmed it and that it was just at stage 1A thank the Lord. I had a complete hysterectomy (with the DaVinci Robot) 4 weeks later in which it was ALL removed, with no chemo or radiation. I had to follow up twice a year for 5 years. I am so happy that I was cleared and released from care this past January. I have been cancer free almost 6 years.
Thankful every day. Good luck.

I did for over a year straight… Finally opted to have a procedure done… After I tried everything else … Good luck!
I had mine …for a whole year !! Yes … 1 solid year. And then I would get it 2 or 3 times a year for 7 years…until I finally went to a infertility Specialist because I wasn’t getting pregnant and I was diagnosed with PCOS.
Was in the same boat. Discovered a benign tumor the size of a grapefruit on one ovary and large fibroids. After hysterectomy life became so much better (still have one ovary so not in menopause yet)
I had an endometrial ablation done due to cysts and endometriosis that worked for a year and then had a full hysterectomy -I would see a different doctor.
I had a period for 9 months when they put the nexplanon on. Doctor put me on a small pill on top of it and my period now lasts 20-25 days😩
I went through the same thing. First have them check your hemoglobin. I went 3 months and the new dr checked that and the next day…blood transfusion. Losing too much blood… That will help with the exhaustion. I have PCOS.
My dr prescribed me some Progesterone (Provera). My periods would stay too long or be away too long. This medicine helped me. If the period did not come like it suppose to, I took the pills as prescribed, and it came. If it stayed too long, same thing but it cut it off and it come back regular cycle.
This worked for me…find another Dr. Your body and you demand results and not throw something at you and see if it works. Good luck to you. Xoxo

I bled for 6 months straight. It was so bad that I ended up in the ER three times and was always given some pill and told it would stop in a few days. It never did. On my 4th trip to the hospital I met a doctor that changed my life. She ended up performing a hysterectomy on me and it was discovered I had Adenomyosis, a cousin to endometriosis. Keep pushing until someone listens!
Go to a womans clinic
I had a 20 day cycle before my first son and they said it was irregular uterine bleeding.
I also have struggled with irregularity and after more learning I discovered imight and do have pcos after my 2nd son.
I am on birth control pills and my period comes on time like clockwork just some cycles are heavier than other.
I would consult your ongyn for sure if the pills arent regulating.
Also if u skip a pill or take different times a day that could affect u
Mine got like this in my 40 i got an IUD
This happened to me a couple of years ago. My gyno put me on Microgestin 1.5/30 and in 2 weeks it stopped and eventually got to normal-ish. I never had a normal period, ever. But that made it less crazy. What are you on? Ask her about the one I tried.
I have the same Problem. The Cause was my thyroid. I had my thyroid removed and have Graves. But still have this problem. My dr put me on Progesterone hoping this works. I did birth control and IUD no help. So new dr and now i just started progesterone hoping it works
I went through his after my last son and my Dr at the time was horrible she done 6 dnc and it didn’t stop it she then put me on birth control hat didn’t stop it and this was heavy bleeding 3 times I had to get blood. Finally I was so out of it and made it to a different Dr he done a bunch of test and said my body couldn’t handle anymore he ties my tubes done a dnc and I got the Nova sure done in 2010 after 8 months of heavy bleeding and multiple blood transfusions and a new Dr I’ve not had any problems or a period since!

My doc also didn’t check anything and just pit me on birth control injections
Now have an iud should have stopped periods but still get heavy ones that often last over a week
My girlfriend went through this ever revolving cycle for 2 yrs out of frustration and resolve ended up with a hysterectomy problem solved
If you do have PCOS birth control is unlikely to help. Follow this page for help navigating it. Healthy PCOS
You should be able to request blood tests to confirm you have it tho

My daughter has this and they did some tests. Best they came up with was “ abnormal uterine bleeding” 
Had that too from start of my first period. Bled for 6 months stopped for 2. Doctor could never figure it out . Birth control had no affect on my periods. I got fixed . Fought those periods from age 10 to 32.
My sister had undiagnosed ovarian cancer …insist on an ultrasound and blood test
Get another Dr. preferably an Ob./Gyn who specializes in that part of the body. Hopefully he/she will run test to find out Why this is happening! Then they can find out How to treat it. Best of luck to you. Take care.

See another doctor who will give you a proper diagnosis. In the meantime, I am pretty sure the reason why you may be tired is that you need iron supplements. It sounds scary.
My treatment for PCOS included Metformin and a birth control called Lo Loestrin Fe. It stopped everything for years. I had a definite increase in joint pain so I stopped taking both meds.
See a gyno. And a different doctor. I had to have a full hysterectomy (tubes and ovaries too) at age 31 due to endometrial hyperplasia. The doctor cannot diagnose PCOS or anything like that without the proper tests.

Had this issue. My uterus was huge and the wall was thick. Get a few tests done mine turned out to be uterine cancer and I had to have a full hysterectomy prayers for you
Fibroids I had the same thing I went to a trip to Colorado and I think it was the altitude it came down to the point I could not walk… dr was talking about a hysterectomy I’m almost 50 I am much better now but I think it was the altitude
Go get checked! I had the same and turned out it was uterine cancer…luckily they caught it in time…dont wait…see your gyno asap
This happened to me after I had my twins. Turned out I blew my thyroid out. Your thyroid is in your neck and controls all hormones. Have your Dr check your thyroid levels. I also have the merina to stop my cycle for 5 years
I had same symptoms and it was endometriosis, I had to have a full hysterectomy which through me into full blown menopause at 36… GET TO A Gynecologist!!! ASAP as this is not normal.
Prayers to you, and good luck

I had this and it was an eptopic pregnancy n I was having a miscarriage. Stick to your guns n see another Dr.
I had the same symptoms, one time I bled for 4 months straight! I have pcos. At first they thought it was endometriosis but I had a laparoscopy and was totally clear apart from cysts on my ovary. I’ll go on the pill once finished ttc to help control the symptoms
My sister just had the same thing at 31 she had a cyst that grew to the size of an apple in her uterus they put her on me a pause pills to shrink the cyst she had to get examined she list so much blood she passed out and ended up in the er cause she didn’t want to get examined stayed there for 5 days
I would find a doctor that will do blood work and ultrasound to find the primary cause.

Same thing happened to me after getting the copper iud removed due to complications. Started the pill immediately after the removal and my body was struggling with the switch. One day I woke up and was bleeding heavily from the start, I put a tampon in and within 15-20 minutes there was blood dripping down my thighs and also passed the biggest blood clot I’ve ever seen come out of me. I immediately called the dr and was able to be seen that day. Drew blood to run tests to see if I had become anemic and luckily I was good in that way. My dr prescribed me pills to stop the bleeding that I had to stay on for a couple months to regulate my periods once again as I have been fine ever since. My periods are so light I barely even bleed on a panty liner.
