Light Bleeding For 11 Days Now...

Quootiepie · 05/01/2007 02:22

Before, I asked what it was, as it was so light, and my periods are usally very heavy and very painful, and I just concluded that it was probably a weird period, but ive just counted out ive been bleeding like this for 11 days. Is it normal to have a "period" for so long? I thought mine were long at a full 7 days before...

Thanks again! xXx

Quootiepie,

Have you ever seen a gynae regarding the heaviness and pain of your periods?. If you have not to date it may well be worth considering.

Fibroids for instance can cause heavy and prolonged bleeding. A possible cause of very painful periods is endometriosis.

Yep, had a laparoscopy, but, they couldn't find anything. Heavy is normal for me, silly as it sounds im worried now because im having a very light, prolonged bleeding. xXx

you're still bf-ing arent you? afaik that can cause periods to be sporadicand either heavier or lighter than normal.
