It sounds like you could be anemic. Take an iron pill once a day for 3 days (you can buy them in the vitamin section at the store). I still recommend a doctor to run a blood test to check if that is it though. good luck!

Oh OP I feel for you! When I was in middle school, mine was so darn awful that it'd go like that for two months (I'd get maybe a couple days here and there with no bleeding) to nothing for 3-4 months. I ended up going on birth control just to regulate my cycle!

All your stories amuse me, but try having an EXTREMELY heavy period for almost a month straight, having it stop for maybe a day or two, and then start again. And then having doctors say it's fine. I had to deal with that for about a year before I finally started suffering from the loss of so much blood, and they finally agreed it was a good idea to put me on birth control to regulate it. About 6 years later, I have to be on birth control at all times, or the never-ending period comes back, but doctors still think it's no big deal. Guess it's a good thing I don't want kids, don't see how I could have them, anyways.

I had the same problem... It's real and it's horrible. I suggest the birth control pill to help while you're young and before having children. Once I was done having children I chose to have a hysterectomy... It is AMAZING NOT having a period EVER VS ALL the time! Look into it when you're ready... It was the best decision for me! Good luck and don't worry... You'll get to wear white shorts one day! ✿◠‿◠

I'm pretty sure you need to go to the hospital.

Let's just all agree, women are rightfully punished each month.

I'd suggest visiting a doctor and ask "What the **** is happening, why is my uterus so pissed off at me!?"

When I first started puberty, I had an ongoing period for two entire years until doctors finally decided to put me on birth control. Make sure to get yourself checked out but if they don't find anything wrong, getting yourself regular with birth control is a lifesaver

I use to have the same problem. my doctor put me on the pill for a year. I don't have that problem anymore even after getting off the pill.
