Back in August I had my period for 9 days straight....constant cramping, sometimes feeling like contractions, and constant bleeding. (There was even a red ring around the toilet, gross!) Anyways, I KNEW this wasn't normal for me and went to the doc's. Finds out I have ovarian cysts which was causing this, I don't know exactly why, and not saying this is your problem, but if it's not normal for you, which it's obviously not since you are frightened, I would suggest a visit to the old doctor and see what's going on.  The worse he can say is he doesn't know and to keep an eye on it, which unfortunately wouldn't be suprising, but just knowing you went to get it checked on can help calm you down.  Good luck to you!

Sometimes when you are under a lot of stress your period lasts longer. Sometimes that happens to me. Or it could have been a miscarriage you didn't know about.

I would talk to a doctor, he may have something that he can give you to regulate you.\nYou should only be having a period approximately every 28 days.

Sounds like you might be starting Peri-menopause especially with the change in your periods.  So long it is not a continuous heavy flow all 14 days I would just monitor things but you may want to call the docs office and let the nurse know that this is going on just in case he feels he wants to see you sooner than next week.

Do you mean that you had a cycle that is 14 days long?  If you are a teenager or in your 40s (sometimes even your 30s), it might be normal.\n\nOtherwise, it is more likely that one of the "periods" was really bleeding associated with ovulation, which takes place about 2 weeks before your next period.\n\nPlease read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler; it will help you determine what is happening.

You could have been pregnant and not known it. \nGo to the hospital. This is not normal!

it depends how old you are. if you just got your period within the last year, its fairly normal. as long as it doesnt happen too often, its fine. or maybe youre getting mutiple periods in a 21-23 day cycle? thats normal also for a teen; your periods should be regulized after a year. if youre an an adult or have had your period for over a year and a half, definitely see a doc. all they can do is help. and theres nothing to be embarrassed about; if your friends/fam ask, just say you got an ear infection or something. theyll never know. ;)

boy do I have a story for you!  I once had my period for 23 day straight.  I first went to my normal doctor and she did absolutely nothing.  No tests were run or anything.   I then went to the gyno hoping for an answer.  He preceeded to tell me that it was because I was fat and that the fat cells give off more estrogen and that can prolong your period.  I went home crying still not knowing exactly what to do about the problem.

It's usually caused by change in hormone levels in your body. I went through it when I was 23, and it lasted 7 months. I was having my period every two weeks. I did see a dr. and was told that it's normal. Not all women go through it, but some do. If you're really worried or concerned, see your gyno, and he/she can help you find out what's going on with your body.

well hun as above have said...ur period is at intervals of 28 days...normally they come on the (or around) same date each month...to be irregular means the dates get changed and u get them later or earlier than ur normal date.... if this happens its sometimes due to change in diet, stress, weight loss, weight gain, all these reasons are enough to be looked at by ur gp, some women bleed for the normal 5 days or so but as past experiences with myself show...ive had mine for up to 2 weeks, for which i seen gp wisely, and sometimes i dont get mine every month....sometimes twice in a month....is all up to ur own body clock hun and no 2 women ever have same pattern....if u have any concern pls see ur gp and remember we get periods for a reason....never ignore the signs of problems or when it comes time to have children u might have found the problems get worse....the pill or implant can help regulate ur periods so ask ur gp... hope this has helped... tc... : )

there is nothing wrong here because thats what has happened to me a couple of times, it lasted for about 2 weeks perhaps a little less like 12 days, and it is a long time and i got a little worried about it. But it did stop, and when it did i was soooo relieved. My mum had no idea what was going on either, and I really didn't want to go to the doctors. And you know what else happened to me that got me worried all over again, well i missed my period for 3 whole months!! can you believe it, and i still avoided seeing a doctor, but after those three months had gone by, I got my period again and it was all back to normal, I just think that my body was going through a phase, which has never happened since, so i'm relieved about that. Just wait a little while longer and all should be back to normal very soon, but if not then I suggest seeing a doctor. =)

how long has it been going on, like how many days?\n\nsounds normal to me, everyone has this type of discharge after your period every once in a while, especially if you are not regular or this menstrual period was lighter or heavier than normal. this should last for a week, maybe a week and a half, even 2 weeks sometimes after a period.\n\nif it has been going on longer and you are having pains, it could be something you have to see your gynocologist about

It's not unusual to have changes in your menstrual cycle that are unique to your body and experoience, so it is probably idiopathic and benign.  Keep your appointment with the doctor though because it there is a problem behind it, it can be VERY serious.\n\nI hope you feel better soon.

Do you exercise a lot and/or strenuously?  have you been dieting?  If a woman doesn't have a reasonable percentage of body fat, her periods will stop.  You might also have your thyroid checked.  I had the opposite problem -- a period for 72 days, and it turned out I had Thyroid disease.\n\nNo matter what the reason, you should probably have a check-up.  Something's not right...\n\nGood luck!

possibly stress, sometimes even with regular periods...you can still have irregular periods...you should start by mid next week the latest...after that, visit your doctor...

It could be a sign of infection or hormonal imbalance.  If you are are changing a pad or tampon in an hours time, this is excessive bleeding which should be checked out immediately by going to your closest ER as excessive bleeding can lead to anemia.  \nIn any case, please see your dr asap as this is not normal.

relax...that one inch piece of blood is most  likely a blood clot which is normal...if you're this unsure about your period you are probably younger and just starting your period...which will be irregular and last longer than normal...i once had a heavy period that lasted for 2 weeks and the i went to the doctor and they said it's normal you're body's just adjusting...so don't worry...
