Were you spotting or was it a full flow?
I had a full flow for a month. Had to take prenatals to actually feel better because it took a lot out of me.

This happened to me some year or so ago. I stopped my birth control and at first went a solid 4 or 5 months without a period.... but then, TOM showed up and stayed for over six months straight. It wasn't a sometimes thing either. This was every single day for six months. If I hadn't gotten on medoxyprogesterone (spelling?) I'd probably still be bleeding today. You're definitely not alone.

I've been on both ends of the spectrum. I've bled daily for some months (not just spotting) and then gone a few months without. Finally I'd settled into about 8 months of aprox. 3 weeks of bleeding a month: a few days spotting, then enough to justify a regular tampon, then flooding for up to 3 days, then back to regular flow and then spotting. On the flooding days I was wearing super +, a maxi pad back up and changing the super + ever 15 minutes to half hour. An ultra sound showed that my condition was complicated by a couple uterine fibroids. Severe cramping like you would not believe that put me in bed for at least 1, maybe 3 days a month. I had a mirena incerted and after I got past the spotting I finally have my bleeding under control. I have spotting to a regular period for usually 3 days now. Not every one does well on mirena and there are horror stories out there about it too, but it has so far helped me immensely when lots of other therapies were failures. Having a doctor who will explore possibilities with you is a major first step. For years all they wanted to do was throw birth control pills at me and when they didn't work, talk hystorectomy.

This happened to me once, it was HORRIBLE like super plus tampons every hour for like three months straight. My doc finally did a D&C and he said when they went in there was still so much lining that I likely would have bled for alot longer. BC helped me, how I am off them and I take Provera about every three months to have a bleed. It's pretty heavy but only lasts about ten days.

PCOS sufferers generally continue building lining due to oestrogen but lack the progesterone to trigger a period, whereas you almost seem as though you in a constant state of progesterone and no oestrogen. It would be worth a try to have a 2g blend of magnesium/calcium/vitamin d + 2g vitamin c stirred into glass of unsweetened orange juice, plus take a zinc capsule and 2 fish oil capsules before bed. These are the vitamins and minerals that are capable of rebalancing the endocrine system. Because either way it sounds like a hormone imbalance (if somewhat back the other way). Maybe you have discovered SOCP? lol. It took a few days of this before I suddenly got some astonishing results. Definitely worth a try. Those dosages were Grams , not milligrams. Your average multivitamin is up to this sort of job. This worked for me and I only got it from researching endocrine system.
But I am not a doctor. Just a chicken that knits. Best wishes. Xx

I have a similar problem. With me, I go about 4-6 months witbhout a period. When I finally get my period, it last 20 plus days! I haven't had on in about 6 months, but have been spotting every day almost. The gyn recommended birth control pills, but I don't take them, because in my opinion they make me bleed more.
