okay, this might be a really odd story but i need someone else's opinion fast! im scared and i dont know what to tell my dad because he's a single father and he never knows how to handle these womenly issues.

mmk, i got my period when i was about 12 years old...it was regular and normal. then i started gaining quite a bit of weight when i was about 14 or so and my period completely stopped. my dad freaked out and thought i was pregnant so he took me to the doctors and have it checked out. the doctors said it was my obesity that stopped my period or something like that, then they prescribed me some medicine that would make my period come. it was bad because it made the heaviest flow ever!

there wasn't a refill on the prescription and it only had 10 pills. i took them for about 2 weeks and that was it. i didn't go back to the doctors because i got scared. then for 3 years i didn't have a period and i just assumed it was because im obese.

but the strange thing is, this late winter around january i believe...my period came back all of a sudden. for 3 years no period and now it comes back again. and the worst part of it all is that my periods are way too heavy, i go through so many napkins and tampons each hour. and it always comes with a disgustingly abnormal sized blood clot.

i really regret not getting this checked out when i was 14 but does any one know what the heck happened here? i'm so scared and i don't understand how all of a sudden my period came back. i mean, i'm glad it did after 3 years but it doesnt make sense why it's so heavy and why there are so many clots. help?!
