Q: Elongated Periods - While On the Pill

I have had problems with my period for over a year and a half now (formerly being on on 777 for 10 years) and I seldomly have a period that last for a week anymore - they now last 2 weeks.
I have changed my birth control pill several times, I have had blood tests, sonograms (for a cyst that was found) and the doctors have no idea why I am still having this problem while on the pill.
I am now on my 4 month of bleeding for 2 weeks and am so frustrated I don't know what else to do!
Anyone out there have any suggestions?? I would appreciate any help you could lend me Smile
