im really worried as to why i am still bleeding after all this time... as anyone ever expirienced this? and if so can you help please , thank you, emma x

Have you been to the doctor recently. Personally this sounds like question for a professional. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that.

go and see the doctor. if not your heath visitor if you get on better with her.

Have they checked for retained placenta? I bled for 7 months and kept going to my gp, who didn't know why. It is very unusual to have retained placenta and no infection - which is why the gp ruled it out for me. Finally after 7 months she referred me for a gynae ultrasound and there was a tiny piece of placenta left, about 1cm, which was enough to keep bleeding without causing other symptoms. I had a d&c and it stopped. If I were you I would ask for a scan as this is the only way they can work out what is going on. You have my full sympathy by the way, it was horrible bleeding all the time. Hope you get it sorted soon.

You poor thing! If you're GP can't help you (and I think you should make an appointment to see him/her asap)then I think you are entirely within your rights to ask for a referral to see a gynaecologist. If they won't see another GP in the pracice- you can't go on like this. Also, has your GP run any blood tests to see if you are anaemic too? This is a possibility given the length of time you have been bleeding.

Good luck. Let us know how you get on.
