    You can but if you're not comfortable it is fine. I don't.

    This is the first time I've actually seen this question asked, so thank you for asking! :)
    I'm anemic, and when I have my period, it can last for SEVERAL weeks. I'm currently on my period right now, and I have been for over a month. I have to exercise during it, or I will never get to. But there are some days during it that I absolutely can't do a thing. If you are able to exercise, DO IT. Everyone's body is different. Hope this helps, and good luck :)

    StarryGirl, Have you talked to your doctor about this? Sometimes excessively long periods are attributed to uterine fibroids. I know not everyone has health insurance these days, but hopefully you can see a doctor about getting to the cause and reducing your symptoms. I've had friends with this fibroids and it can really interfere with one's quality of life. I'm 50, so my suggestion comes from a "concerned mom's" point of view. Please get some guidance from a medical professional.

    I'm not sure what the uterine fibroids are, but I have been diagnosed with PCOS. I have to take Metformin (regulates my insulin) but I'm not diabetic. It took YEARS and several doctors to finally determine what I had. Birth control helps sometimes, but it really doesn't regulate, it just slows it a little bit. (And makes me really sick to my stomach.)
