I have always had irregular periods, but about a year ago they went crazy. I began skipping or having very late ones. Now for the last 3 months I have had none at all.. yet I bleed every single day..sometimes fresh blood and other times it is brown like you get at the end of your cycle. It's only spotting here and there never a constant flow. I have no "extra" pain other then cramps.. I am only 28yrs old and have been over weight my whole life. Cervical cancer runs in my family but they all had alot of pain and I do not have any. I know I am not pregnant this has been going on for a long time. I don't have insurance and I can't find anyone who will see me... even a clinic. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this may be?????
Please help!

You can't find anyone that will see you? I find that hard to believe. It might be expensive, but you really do need to go to the doctor. I'm also overweight and my doctor told me that this can cause abnormal periods.. but it's never a good thing when you go so long without, and then bleed constantly for a long time.
Planned parenthood could most likely help you out. You could try to head down there at least.
Good luck!

the only advice/suggestion I have is if you have had a relation with a man you may have an ectopical pregnancy in which the fetus is growing outside the uterus. My tests were negative saying I was not pregnant, an ultra sound revealled I was. I experienced daily bleeding for almost 14 weeks and then miscarried, which was fortunate in a way as I could have bled to death myself and my now 14 yr old son would be without me. Do some online reading and see if this sight helps w/ coverage:

Hello. You need to see a doctor. I am aware that there are hospitals available to people without much money, or health insurance, in America. As you are loosing blood everyday, it is pretty important that this problem is solved as fast as possible. Why not bring some sandwiches, a book or a magazine, and spend your ten hours waiting for a doctor in a hospital. It's alot of time, but it is critical that you solve this problem fast.
All the best.

this may be a condition called PID pelvic inflammitry Disease. I am thinking this because i have always had regular periods but a couple of months ago i started bleeding in between periods. After being rushed to hospital by my doctor for suspected eptopic pregnancy i was found to have this PID. I think you really need to see a doctor because some problems in that area lead to being infertile as i have now found out.
Good Luck

Cervical infections can cause this kind of bleeding to occur. I had a huge problem with cervicitis during the years of 2003-2005.
The only way to know for sure what is going on is to have your dr evaluate this situation further to see what they think is going on.

well for one I don't understand why you say you can't find anyone who will see you. They can't legally refuse you because of inability to pay. Just tell them you are paying out of pocket and they have to bill you. If all else fails, go to the E.R. This doesn't sound normal. Are you sure you're not pregnant? Some women do have breakthrough bleeding when pregnant. Either way I suggest you get it checked out girly.

YES. YOU NEED TO GO TO THE E.R. I KNOW U DON'T HAVE INSURANCE. BUT THEY WILL NOT TURN U DOWN. LIE IF U HAVE TOO AND SAY U ARE IN PAIN. I SUGGEST. U CONTACTING SOCIAL SERVICES TO SEE ABOUT INSURANCE. AND U DO SOME HEAVY FOOT WORK INCLUDING CALLING AROUND TO AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY. ALSO SEE IF SOMEONE CAN REFER U AND U CAN WORK OUT A PAYMENT PLAN. U MAY JUST WANT TO INVEST IN INSURANCE I KNOW IT IS EXPENSIVE. BUT THIS IS UR LIFE!!1 GOOD LUCK

I would say go see your doctor. With a family history, you can't ever be too safe. Do you take oral contraceptives? When I was on the shot, I had spotting every day for a month.

Insurance or not go to the emergency room. They can't turn you away. Most states at a hospital will give you financial assistance for the bill. In my sons case they paid for the whole visit.

Emergency rooms are required by law to treat you--and it sounds as though you do need treatment. They used to call it a 'scraping' or a 'D&C' for persistent bleeding. This could be the sign of something serious--I would not waste time in geting to the ER.
