The only other thing I can think of that might be affecting it would be the addition of sexual intercourse to my life in the last couple months. There has not been any pain before, during, or afterwards, so I can't see how that would be affecting my period.
The reason I am asking on here is because 1) I'm a broke college student 2) I don't have any health insurance and 3) The University Health Clinic costs much more than I can afford.
Again, PLEASE HELP ME.View Thread
I have a VERY abnormal period. Let's take a step back and talk about what it was like growing up first. I got my period when I was 11. From then on through my freshman (I'm not exactly sure) year of college, my periods were very irregular. They were SUPER heavy, causing me to use overnight pads during the day time AND super plus tampons, put together. Even then, that would only hold for maybe, at its best, 2 hours. And they would only happen once every 3-4 months. And last anywhere from 7-20 days. I went to the gynecologist and she prescribed me birth control. I was on it for almost a year, and it didn't help anything at all. So, I took myself off the pill. So, after my freshman year, or sometime during...my periods became even more irregular. They would only happen once ever 4-9 months and instead of red blood, it's brown, and will only last 1-3 days. What's wrong with me? I know I should see the gynecologist, but I have an appointment set up for the fall. I just wanted WEBMD's take on it.View Thread
straight weeks and my OB did not have an answer for why this was. My husband said to get back on the pill & it took several weeks for it to stop but I still had slight bleed through anyways. I take BCP for three months then stop for a period. I now just started my period and am feeling anxious about what this period will be like. I don't understand why the medical community cannot tell us why we are bleeding for so long? Any answers anyone?View Thread
I am 27 years old, married, and on the pill. I am on my last week of pills before the placebo ones and after going to the bathroom I noticed there was blood on the tissue. Later when I went to the bathroom it was the same thing. I shouldn't be starting my period until next week so I am a little freaked out. This is the first time it has happened to me. Any idea what it could be? Or what I should do?View Thread

All of a sudden, today, I start bleeding. I don't know who to see or why it's bleeding.
Can someone help?View Thread
At age 59 I had 10 days of heavy bleeding. I went to the emergency room when the bleeding started. Test showed high levels of pregnancy hormones. A dnc was preformed and no cancer was found. No one can tell me the reason for the bleeding or high levels of pregancy hormones. Does anyone have any thoughts on this matter. ThanksView Thread
