I'm 29 yrs. old and I've been having my menstrual cycle for 3 weeks to 1 month with about a 2 week break between each period. Along with my period I have huge clots. This has been happening since I had my daughter in 2006. I saw a doctor about it and he just put me on birth control pills to try and regulate it, but that just caused me to have blood clots in my lungs. I went on Coumadin and my period was normal while I was on the meds. Now I'm off Coumadin and my period went back to being long again and with the huge clots. Is there something my doctors should be testing for? Why am I having a 3 week menstrual cycle? Can this cause complications with conceiving again? What is wrong with my cycle?

I'm having the same problem although my bleeding hasn't seemed to stop at all. It lightens for at least 2 days and then its back to heavy bleeding. I am on depo and have been on depo before. This has never been a problem before now. Heavy/light NON-stop bleeding with sharp pain. My doctor can't seem to figure out the problem . I hope you get some answers.

I am a 14 year old girl, going onto 15 in less than 3 months and my periods tend to last for about 3 weeks and are extremely heavy. My first period was about 4 years ago and I always seem to miss them. Any advice?

I honestly think you should try a doctor. I was given birth control and it has helped a bit. IDK your diet or anything like that but eating more greens and some exercising also helped with making my period a bit shorter

I was on the merina for 2yrs and then the depo for 3yrs just had to come off of birthcontrol due to getting a blood clot in rhe left side of my brain. I just got my period again and have been on ot for 3 weeks I am on cumidine so figured that might have a little affect on things , but I'm have clots the size of a .50cent piece is this normal.
September 21, 2014 - 9:34amVery worried. Please help
