Hello,

i dont honestly know what the problem could be, but I can relate you.. Sorta

i dont have any children but when I was younger, I had horrible periods. I once had a period last 5 months.. Every single day for 5 months. I was extremely irregular. The doctor finally put me on birth control. Only reasoning behind it was that I was irregular.

About 3 yrs ago I had my period for almost 6 months. (i know way to long to wait to go to the doctor, but I never go unless I ahve to) anyway when I went she did a pelvic and found what she called a paulup. It looked kinda like what you would expect a cyst to lookl like. She removed it (which hurt) and had it tested, she thought it might be cancer. Turns out it was not thank god but not even a week later my period stopped. So I think you need to get into the doctor and have her/him do an exame and find out whats going on. Better to be safe then sorry. Good luck
