Today, exactly 28 days after I started my last period, I started a new period. This would be perfectly healthy and normal except that my last period was 24 days long. This has happened every month this year. FML

I've had even enough
Today, I started my period. Unfortunately, my last period only ended six days ago. PCOS sucks. FML

The body keeps the score
Today, I started my period, complete with cramps, diarrhoea, a headache, bloating, and aching legs. Apparently my body didn't get the message that I had a total hysterectomy a month ago, including my ovaries, tubes and cervix. FML

NOT NOW!
Today, after I went in for surgery, I came out of extremely anemic from blood loss. As soon as I got home, I started my period. FML

Today, I’m currently battling a cold that caused me to call into work yesterday and, as of this morning, I’ve also started my period and have the most painful cramps ever. Good thing I have the day off from work. FML

Today, I have a UTI that spread to my kidneys, a yeast infection, and a herpes outbreak. Oh, and my period came this morning. FML

Today, I’ve finished all my cancer treatments but my body is putting me through the wringer again. I got my first period after not having one for nearly a year, and with it has come all sorts of hormonal issues including cramping, mood swings, hot flashes, and heinous BO! It’s worse than puberty!

Is that amount of blood loss healthy?

There's many reasons this can be an issue. While birth control can fix this kind of issue, if you abruptly stop your birth control it can cause this as well. Also, some can cause it. The depo shot gave me a month long period. Nonetheless if you're uncomfortable with a OBGYN checking you out I still suggest you talk with your doctor, that definitely doesn't sound normal.

if your period lasted more than 7 days you shouldve gone to the doctors...

I recall my period varying from a week to 2 months straight a few years ago. My body reacted horribly to a few BC methods so I was very reluctant to try it again. According to my dr, it was natural for me. Ironically enough, what made my period go back to 3-5 days regularly was sex. At that time, I haven't had sex for almost 3 years!

That's a sign of an ovarian cyst. You definitely should go to the doctor OP!

I hear ya! Get yourself checked out you poor thing. Could be dysfunctional uterine bleeding which you need to get onto early and not sweat through like I have for half my life! :-(
