Answer 1

honey, i hate to say this, and i know you don't want to hear it, but you need to go to the doctor.
this is not normal and you shouldn't be embarrassed by it.
if you aren't comfortable telling your dad, try talking to one of your friend's moms. See if maybe they can take you.
Remember doctors deal with this sort of thing everyday and you shouldn't be embarrassed in front of them.

wishing you the best of luck

Answer 2

if your period has been continuous for the whole 2 months, then probably it is not actually your period. Menstration is the sloughing off of the uterine lining which build up in the 3 wks between periods. This is triggered by your hormone (estrogen and progesterone) levels. If your bleeding has been lasting for te whole 2 months, then my best educated guess is that you are actually bleeding from a non-menses source. This is a serious problem.
You have mentioned that you are already feeling faint and dizzy. This, as others have already told you, is due to the massive blood loss, which lead to anemia. Anemia is decreased red blood cells in the blood. These blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to body tissue. Because you have lost alot of blood recently, and are therefore most likely anemic, your body (muscles and brain) is deprived of oxygen. When your brain is hypoxic, you will feel dizzy.
The loss of blood also results in decreased blood pressure.
In terms of making more blood, I would make sure that I drink at least 2 liters of water per day. But because not to drink more than 3 litres of this can be hard on your kidneys.
While I haven't been through this myself, I have heard of this before. And no, THIS IS NOT JUST GOING TO GO AWAY. You do need to seek professional medical treatment. I'm seriously worried for you. If you continue as you are, your dad might soon find you passed out on the floor. And since you don't want your dad to find out, please go to a teen clinic. These provide free health care. They won't call your dad. And they will help you no questions asked. Please don't be scared of them. My mom, here in Canada is a doctor at one of the teen clinics here, and she sees youth, such as yourself, all the time. You are not alone. You are not the first. You will not shock the doctor. They can help. They will help. And most importantly, they can make you better.

Answer 3

If you don't go to the doctor your dad will find out anyway because you will pass out. He will need to take you to the hospital, and if they can't figure out what's wrong quickly enough (you'll be unconscious, so you won't be able to help them) then you will die. It sounds like this will happen soon. You cannot solve this problem on your own. Please either tell your father or go directly to the hospital. If you are truly having this problem you will not need his permission to be there, they will treat you anyway. He will find out, but perhaps finding out from the doctors who have saved your life, with you still conscious, will be easier for you to take.

DO NOT WAIT FOR SCHOOL ON MONDAY. ITS TOO LATE TO MAKE A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT. GO TO THE HOSPITAL NOW. Please do not wait at all. If you are dizzy, and it has been going on as long as you say, you need to get to the hospital right now. What if you don't wake up in the morning? Your father will grieve for you. I'm sure you don't want to do that to him. He is probably not as naive as you think, he knew enough about females to make a baby with your mother. He knows that much bleeding is dangerous. Tell him. Now.

Answer 4

This is a medical question, and should be directed to medical people. Why don't you want to hear "Go to the doctor". It's the only reasonable answer this question can generate. If you're losing enough blood that you're weak and dizzy, and you think you're dying, why don't you want to go to the doctor? Why tell people on Yahoo! Answers? You'd rather try to 'make more blood' then get medical help? Why? Are you willing to die because your dad is naive?

Answer 5

If after two mos. you are still menustrating and this is not normal for you, you should see a physician because you are losing a lot of blood which is not good for you or any one in a similar situation. You cannot as you say make more blood because where are you going to get more blood since you already lost most of it. See a Doctor as soon as possible, what if you pass out and they rush you to the nearest hospital, you will have to get a blood transfusion so you can get your strength back, or die for lack of blood. I hope you come to your senses before it's too late.

Answer 6

Seriously, you do need to see a doctor. Excessive blood loss can deplete your iron levels, which in turn can damage many organs in your body.

Feeling weak and dizzy are key indicators that this is more serious than you might realize. At this point, professional medical intervention is required. See the link.

It could be a benign infenction, but it could be something much worse. GO TO A DOCTOR NOW!

Answer 7

If you are a teenager and are in school, talk to your school nurse if you have one.

If you are a teenager, ask a friend with a car to take you to Planned Parenthood. Even though you do not want to get birth control, they should be able to either help you with this issue or refer you to a place that can. In the meantime, try to eat lots of iron-rich foods such as spinach and meat to replace the iron you are losing.

Do you have an aunt, older sister, or female cousin you can turn to? If not, how about a good friend's mother?

Answer 8

Yeah so you said not to go see a doctor, you need to see a doctor. you may be right. Go right away, you may need blood. The other thing is you may have endrometriosis and if you let this go it may mean you can never have kids. Until you go to the doctor drink lots of water, this will help w/ volume depletion. But like I said, GO TO THe DR!!!
Teenagers can legally see a dr for gyn problems w/o a parents concent. So If you don't want to tell your dad, get someone else to go w/ you. but go.

Answer 9

Your not dying hun, you just have a womans body......What is happening to you has happend to me when I was a teen ( I am now 25). I went 3 months straight with my period, then I went 1 year without it!! After talking to my mother, she sent me to the doctor. The doctor told me to go on Birth Control to help regulate my 'system.' It worked. So, perhaps your system is out of wack, like mine was. If you can get some birth control pills it might ease some of your pain.
As far as loosing so much blood....you need to be very careful! Please either take iron supplements or eat more red meat.
Best of luck to you....you are not alone!
Hang in there,
Stacy

Answer 10

This is a problem, you do need to get help. You do need to seek help try a women's clinic or something. I had the same problem mine turned out to be Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. But the problem is you're losing too much blood and iron so ur most likey anemic. But its nothing to be embarrassed about you did nothing wrong. But seek help, perhaps the school nurse. Best of Luck

Answer 11

#1 Sweety, you really should go to the doctor. I'm no expert but it doesn't sound normal.
#2 On your way to the doctor eat a big bowl of 100% iron fortified cereal.

Iron deficiency anemia can be associated with low dietary intake of iron, inadequate absorption of iron, or excessive blood loss [1,16,35]. Women of childbearing age, pregnant women, preterm and low birth weight infants, older infants and toddlers, and teenage girls are at greatest risk of developing iron deficiency anemia because they have the greatest need for iron [33]. Women with heavy menstrual losses can lose a significant amount of iron and are at considerable risk for iron deficiency [1,3]. Adult men and post-menopausal women lose very little iron, and have a low risk of iron deficiency.
