Q: the Neverending Period!!!-ahhh!:)

So I just began the first week of my third month on ortho-lo. I had my period fine, no problem the first month, but now my period has begun and just won't stop. It's been a week and a half already, but it's still pretty moderately-heavy. I have to change my super tampon every 5-6 hours or so, only get about 4 hours on a regular one. It's a real pain and I do believe i'm beginning a yeast infection, and I don't know how I can put that monistat tablet in while I also have a tampon in or while i'm bleeding so much. I have a nice chunk of that bloody goo/uterine lining/whatever each time I change my tampon, as well. My mother, a nurse, tells me to see my doctor and I know I probably should anyway, but I don't really have much time to nor the ridiculous amount of money she would charge to see her. I was wondering if it'd be alright to just try to wait it out and hope it stops on its own little lonesome, or if I really do need to just stop everything and submit to visiting my md... I'm taking the pill for acne, not for menustral regularity or as actual birth control. Anyone have any experienced advice? Thanks!

Wow
You might get so weak and anemic, you have to go get this checked
at least take some iron, you could bleed until you're in shock...It's happened
if the bcps are not helping, something's not good...Fibroid, endometriosis, some lesion...Cannot dx over internet, it's called money well spent to go check

Thanks for your reply and advice. It doesn't matter that the pils do seem to be helping my acne? Because it's lightened up considerably in just these past two months! I'm so happy about that!
So the md, if you insist.... Darn!
