Irregular Periods, For Years Posted: 12-30-05 06:40am
Hi, i'm 27 and for years i've had
irregular periods, I sometimes have my
period for months at a time and then
sometimes I don't have them at all for
months but this year I had it for most of
the year and from sept oct until now i'm
still bleeding, a couple of years ago
doctors had me take a ultrasound and they
said everything is ok, I had this one gyn
doctor say if I lost weight it wouldn't be
like this and I told her even before I put
on the weight my periods been like this
since I was 13 @ 13 I started to miss my
period, a year before that I had stopped
eating meat and since then my periods have
been messed up they say it has nothing to
do with not eating meat but that was the
only change in my life.
Well i'm still bleeding and sometimes I
have blood clots, I don't know what to do
I go to the local health department
because its all I can afford and they said
they are only a screener just do paps,
since the test from a couple of years ago
came out fine, does anyone have any
suggestion on what maybe causing this???
I am so sick of having my period, I don't
know what to do, the health station pretty
much can't do anything they wanted to put
me on birth control but I have high blood
pressure since I was 18 and now I also
have diabetes got that about a year or 2
ago.
Just wondering if anyone else ever had
their period like this before? :(

I have had two friends with such extreme
bleeding. They each had to go on birth
control - and it can take some time to
find one that works. For one friend,
this hormone change solved the problem.
The other has to have follow up visits and
has since been diagnosed with something I
can't remember the name of.
Find out if your state has medical public
aid, or ask the clinic if there are any
other offices/hospitals/whatever that
might be able to treat you. Bleeding for
several months on end is not safe.

Thanks for the reply, sorry but birth
control is out of the question they wanted
to put me on birth control but I have high
blood pressure. No clinic will take and
the health station is just a screening as
they told me they just do paps nothing
more. I am still bleeding guess I just
have to live with it. Not sure if I
should go to the hospital.
I really just don't know what to do, so
depressed from bleeding everyday and just
seems as tho no one understands
