XXXXX ❝family members of mine suffer from this a lot. What happened to them sounds a lot like whats happening to you.

Im going to tell you a few of the stories. What I write isn't meant to scare you, and im sorry if it does.

I have an older sister who has suffered from that since she was about my age (im almost 17), so 8-10 years. she would skip months on end and have periods months on end and it would be heavy and painful the entire time she was on it. she refused to see a doctor, and now, in adulthood, she went and was told because she waited so long it would be highly unlikely for her to have children, and she was put on birth control. the birth control regulated it a bit, but still doesn't get her on the normal once-a-month-around-the-same-time track because she waited so long

My younger sister had severe health problems in her early years which we think may have lead to her problems, but she suffers from the same thing my older sister does. so months on end of waiting or bleeding. Luckily she didn't have as bad cramping as my older sister. She suffered for close to 2 years before she was taken to the doctor (my mom wanted to see if it was just a fluke, and the doctor required data/dates to diagnose anything). there he immediately prescribed birth control just to regulate her periods. It worked and as far as we know as long as she keeps on the birth control she should be just fine.

I almost had to deal with that ,because about 2 years ago I got irregular periods, but every time I had one it was like any other period I had, so I cant personally sympathize, but a lot of my female family members have a similar problem, so its as close to it as I can get.

I cant say exactly what you have, or what you should do because im not a doctor. But after seeing the trend of what doctors do and if it works, I suggest you go. write down/estimate dates of when your period starts/stops and how heavy it is, and make an appointment. It can be awkward at first, but just know that they are there to help you, and whatever you tell them stays between you and the doctor. You can even see a female doctor if that helps.

Your doctor will probably give you some birth control and call it a day. I don't think you have anything terrible, and as long as whatever it is is caught early it shouldn't have any negative permanent effects.

Good luck dear <3 ❞

You should never feel awkward about talking to your doctor about this kind of stuff especially because they went through medical school so they can become doctors and help people.

I say just go to your doctor and tell them whats happening. To me it honestly sounds like your peroid is just irregular(almost all women has irregular periods). I usually had my periods nearly twice a month for while and than it as all over the place. After visting my doctor a few times I was placed under birth control I honestly tried like three different birth control until I finally found one that works for me. Now my period is regulated.

Again I say go to the doctor (request a female doctor if they are available) and just tell them whats your concern.

You should never feel awkward about things that are related to your body or else you will never learn anything.(thats how I always think of it) They are doctors for reason.

Sorry if i repeated myself. Haha. I intend to do that ALOT. xD

I have the same problem, but mine take a month maybe two. But my last period took three months. My doctor told me that it was because I wasn't on my birth control anymore. The only reason I took birth control was for my heavy periods. I would get dizzy when walking, light headed, basically I would lose a lot of blood in one day of having my periods. I started mine when I was in fourth grade, in tenth now.

Than do it, see a doctor but don't feel awkward about it either. I didn't feel awkward when it came to my periods especially when my school doctor was a male. Its only awkward if you make and feel its awkward but in reality it isn't. Every girl has the right to ask questions to both male and female doctors about their periods. Its completely normal.

If you have a planned parenthood in your area, I say go to that clinic because its usually the only clinic that has more female nurses and doctors than a regular clinic.(speaking from personal experience)

Oh... Sorry, I guess its just probably a US clinic emotion_sweatdrop

I hope everything turns out to be fine :3
