Audrey~Welcome to the boards! Sorry you've been having such a rough time. IMO, and I'm sure anyone else would say the same, having a period for that long is NOT normal. I believe your ob/gyn is a quack and you should run far far away! One of the main things to do is take bcp's for a while and see if things straighten out a bit. I really don't like bcp's but they did the trick when I was having non-stop bleeding. If you want, come check out the Jan PUPO thread (stands for pregnant until proven otherwise). We'd be more than happy to have you and you can ask any questions you might have about ttc. See you around
luv

Welcome Audrey!!!!!
I'm in the medical field,and although I'm not a Doc,I will tell you that you bleeding that much that often is very unhealthy.That is far from normal and any Doc insisting that it is,is out of his mind.Tell him to try and bleed for 1 month or longer and then come and tell you if he thinks thats normal

Go see another OBGYN and if your not satisfied,go to an Endocrinologist,and just keep on if you have to.But don't let nobody try and tell something is normal when you know it's not.

Secondly,with you TTC,keep seeking and following medical treatments and advice,I know it gets frustrating and discouraging,but if you haven't already,add some Prayer and Faith,I guarntee that'll help things out too

Good Luck and God Bless
