Q: Very Fet GIrl: My Period Hasn't Stop Since January!

Question Crying or Very sad Exclamation I have had my period since January of this year. I had a break from it for a couple days in July. I am a very heavy set girl so I know this has alot to do with it, and there might be some stress relative stuff to it since I have worked 2 jobs all year and trying to make ends meet. but I also feel it is very abnormal considering it is very heavy all the time I have blood clots the size of 50 cent peices throughout most of the day and if im not clotting then it is just heavy flow. everytime I have gone to a doctor they just tell me it is because I am a heavy girl and try to put me on birth control I take it for 3 months and it seems to make things worse. I have had symptoms in the past but it would only last up to 3 months. what could this mean? I wont have insurance until december and the free clinic is the place they tell me that its because Im fat. what should I do?

Keep going to the doctor. You need to be seen. It is unusual for the pill to increase your bleeding, it usually causes less flow. Are you currently taking the pill? If 3 months is not long enough to show relief, maybe you need to take is for longer.

Periods
you may want to check to see if you have uterine fibroids, which are non-cancerous tumors very common in many women. I was diagnosed with them after my heavy priod began lasting 11 days. I have now had a period for 3 consecutive months. Awaiting new insurance so I can have them surgically removed.
