I have been having the same problem. My period lasted for 2 months before I was able to see a doctor. When I did get around to seeing a doctor, I was warned that this could be a very dangerous condition and that I should have come right away. After several tests everything (PCOS, cancer, prediabetes, cysts, etc). was ruled out except for a very steep hormone imbalance (estrogen levels very high, progesteron very low), mostlikely caused by stress and being overweight. The risks for having this disorder is REALLY scary. I did get a 2nd opionion from another doctor and she said the same thing.. you can almost expect to have uterine cancer within a year and the cancer will easily spread to other organs in the meantime. Diabetes is not far off either. I have been taking a very expensive medication called "Histerone" and my doctor is recommending a hormone IUD to control the progesterone until a more permanent solution (loosing weight, getting stress levels down etc.) can be found.. Despite the medication, my periods have NOT stopped only slightly have slowed down but still very large clots coming out. I have two children after being infertile for 7 years due to no periods. Now this. I do not plan to have any more children.
Was also wondering what any doctors would recommend?
