I'm 18 and married and not taking any kind of birth control. I got my period on December 1st and it ended on the 4th (i normally have my period for a week so this was weird) Then i got my period-Again- On December 25th That period for 3 Long weeks. It was heavy, alot of clots, and it ended all of a sudden. it ended on January 18th. I got my period again JAnuary 30th and its only been 2 weeks from the last one!!! It's the same as the last one. i dont want to go another 3 weeks on my period!!!! Could this be wrong for my health??? Could i become anemic?!! I want to have kids , would this affect me? Could i have something wrong? PCOS, endometriosis, PID?? If anyone has gone this through or knows what may be wrong please answer

first. 3 long weeks of heavy bleeding associated with lots of clots is NOT normal, you need to call a doctor about that. it doesnt necessarily mean there is something wrong with you or your health. anemic, no. it usually doesnt last 3weeks if anemic the long period could affect you, yes. you dont know what to chart due to it being so long pcos, no.you will not have a period endo. possibly.but DO NOT jump to conclusions. PID, you'd be in ALOT! of pain,to the point you'd know you had it by now (lots of women end up in the hospital due to pid)
i cant exactly tell you whats wrong, all i can say is.. call your GYN or whatever doctor you have and tell her/him whats going on, may take time to find out, but in the end you will find out whats wrong!
keep me posted. Good Luck. Lot's and Lot's of babydust!
i had the same problem. though i am anemic. i talked to my doctor and he did a d&c which isÉ where they scrape the lining of the cervix and also a historoscopy which isÉ where the use a scope with a camera and ifÉ they find anything they take it out. it worked wonders for me. call your local ob gyn and have a chat and see what they think. but being anemic has not affected my child bearing Abilities. i hope my answer helped.
It could be any of the things you listed, but you can't be sure without a proper exam. I'm sorry, but that's all the info I can give. PCOS, Endo, and PID all have complications. You can't risk not knowing. Please take care of yourself.
