I've had a period for 8 weeks

[Nowanextraone]

Hi all, I did post this in women's health but no replies so hoping someone here can help.

I have had a period for 8 weeks now. It's driving me insane. Initially I thought it was because my coil was old and had run out of hormones, so I got that taken out and yet I still have my period.

What can I do? Trying to get a doctor's appointment but no luck yet. Is there a tablet they can give me to stop it?

How old are you?
How long did you have your coil in?

This happened to me a few years ago when mid 40s. All of a sudden my periods just didn’t stop. The doctor gave me pills to take to stop them to give me a break while they worked out what was wrong. The pills stopped them dead. Huge relief. It was only a temporary solution though. Good luck with the doctor.

I'm 39. My coil was in for 6 years (I totally forgot about it, it should have been taken out after 5).

What pilla did the doctor give you?

I think it was norethisterone. The first gp I went to was mad about homeopathy and tried to give me squid ink 🙄
