Answer 1

to bad, so sad really. its your body. body tend to be stupid.

Answer 2

Yes, we are all different, but periods should not last more than 2 weeks or you'll be risking anemia.

1. Go see a dr. The old or a new one, but something has to be done. Do not walk out of that office without some action being taken. She needs to run more tests, give you a prescription, or tell you something you can do to heal yourself.

2. If your mum says no dr., go to the school nurse. Ask her how you can get confidential help. If she offers birth control pills, take it, quick. It works so well to regulate periods. I have a 2-3 day period, very light, that is unless I choose to skip the period entirely this month.

Go to another doctor for a second opinion. Sometimes when your young your period cycle isn't very normal but to have a cycle for 3 weeks or more I think should be a concern to your doctor. When you go to the doctor again let her know that it's irritating you.....and keep track of exactly how long your cycle is and what type of flow your having. Ex. light, very light, medium, heavy or very heavy. How many pads or tampons do you have to use per day. Is your periods painful? This information will be very useful for you doctor in determining if this problem is serious. Hang in there.....and relax, find a good GYN doctor get referrals from friends and family members, ask you regular Physician for references, go to the doctor again ASAP!!

Good Luck!!!

It's ok, your ok. I know this whole period thing is very annoying but it becomes less of a nuissance as you get older.

When your young your periods will be very irregular in the timing, duration, and flow rate. Don't be alarmed, just be prepared. Never get caught without a tampon or pad. You may speak with your doc, sometimes birth control pills will help regulate your period but just know that you are normal. My period didn't start to normalize until I was in my early 20's and still it's nothing you can set your watch to. Everyone's body is different so just don't compare your cycle to anyone elses.

Answer 5

well when your in your first couple years of getting "that time of the month" you are usually irregular. This could mean you get your period for 3 weeks one month and not at all the next. It also means you could just be getting the "side affects" of the period without the period part. You should just relax and wait it throught. BUT if you still have it for more than another week go to the doctor.

Answer 6

It's just simply that since you recently got it, your body is not used to it. It seems to go crazy. But, to tell you the truth, I went through the same thing, and WOW was I mad! I hated it so much. And waiting for the summer, it's gonna be hard, especially because the summer time is the time to be in the POOL! I hate when I get mine in the summer. It's the worst time of the year to get it. That happens to certain people. (Well, girls). Uhm... Just calm down and don't worry. 6 months will fly by!

hope i helped :]

Answer 7

The doctor needs to send you to a GYN. It sounds like you have fibroids or endometriosis. You should not be having periods like that unless you have one of those problems or are reacting badly to birth control pills. You also could become anemic over time, bleeding that long. Some general physicians are reluctant to refer you to a physician or to admit how little they understand about women's periods. So see the specialist and they can check you and do an ultrasound to figure out what's up. I had period problems really early and it was fibroids. You need to have them or endometriosis treated and measured to stop either problem from making you infertile later! It could be just about anything, right now, but I am betting it is just fibroids.

Answer 8

Your hormone levels are off. Besides being a pain in the neck, you could also become anemic if your periods are lasting this long each month. Tell your mom you are tired of wearing tampons/pads practially all month long and want to go back to the doctor. They may put you on the pill to regulate your cycle.

Answer 9

When i first got my period i had the same problem. 3 weeks was the longest i had and then it tapered off. I think that happens to some girls when it first happens. Give it a few months, because other than taking birth control (gotten from a doctor) there isnt much else you can do to regulate it. But dont worry, mine definitely didnt take 6 months to right itself.

Answer 10

Um, first off how old are you?
Menstrual Periods vary person to person. Usually it takes a year or so, give or take a few months even for your particular body to get into reliable predictable cycle' LOL I never did really...and I am in my 40's
Best thing is to keep asking your Dr. They might even suggest a OB/GYN to help.
There are too many things that can be attributed to the symptoms you describe.

Answer 11

I never had regular periods from when I started (11 or 12) until I was 17 when I went on birth control. That fixed that quite well, and got rid of my hormonal migraines.
