I agree there should be some concern, but at the same time, did you change any meds, or your birth control? is it possible that you had a miscarriage, and didn't know you were pregnant. Constant bleeding will happen with this. Also, say you were on the depo shot for birth control, that shot makes your body think you are pregnant so if you come off of it, then all those periods you missed will come with it. If none of this applies to you, then you should go to your Gyno.

There could be many reasons for your prolonged period - infection, uterine polyps, fibroids, ovarian cysts, hormone imbalance, or miscarriage. Taking too much aspirin or certain vitamins or herbs that have blood-thinning properties (i.e., vitamin E, garlic or ginkgo biloba) can also stimulate bleeding. Regardless, you need to make an appointment with your gynecologist so she can do a complete physical exam to ascertain what might be causing your irregular period and to determine howbest to treat it. Irregular periods are, indeed, common, but they are not to be ignored!

You could have endometriosis, bleeding between periods, long periods, pain during sex, a dull achy feeling below the belly button, these are all signs of endometriosis. I would seek medical attention to try and get it controlled, before it takes over your life. My journey with endometriosis ended with a complete hysterectomy, no uterus, no tubes, no ovaries. I was 27, and was immediately into menopause, taking hormone therapy for years. So, don't ignore what your body is saying.

This is ironic, but I'm going through the exact same thing. I'm usually irregular, but this is just too out there. I went to the doctor today and they told me I was anemic, from blood loss so get some iron! And they gave me birth control to regulate my period.

obviously you should go to your doctor - but to answer your question - the only sure way to stop your period that i know of is to get pregnant

Do you happen to be coming off of the Depo shot? This happened to me and my hormones were all out of whack. I had to go on the Yasmin pill to regulate them.

You need to go to a doctor. That's definitely not normal!

OK, I don't think that's normal.
You need to talk to your Ob/Gyn ASAP.
