Hello this is my first time posting on here and hopefully I can get some answers , i have a 2 emergency c-sections and after my 2nd last December I was bleeding for a month until the end of January , 2 weeks after I stopped bleeding I got the depo injection and was bleeding every 2 days so I decided not to get it again , I come on my period on the 2nd of may and until it got to a month of non stop painful bleeding I wasn't worried (my periods always last 2-3 weeks and was painful since I started ) I went to the doctors and they checked my cervix and told me I couldn't have a smear as I'm on 20 years old and they don't offer it to anyone under the age of 25, they referred me to gynaecologist team which did an internal scan and a biopsy on my cervix which came back normal and they told me that they was nothing wrong (which was in July) were now at the end of November and I'm still bleeding really heavy ,I'm scared to go out in case I flood , I'm passing clots about the size of a 10p , I struggling to get out of bed or any house work done because I feel so run down :( 2 of my Aunty a have got endometriosis but the doctors keep shrugging it off saying I'm to young even though one of my friends has been on hormone tablets for it since she was 16 and she's not 25 and still on them , I just want to get some answers and see if anyone has had the same problems as me , thankyou in advance xx

You must go back to your GP and ask for a referral to a gynaecologist. There could be lots of reasons for this bleeding but it is not normal.
You also need testing for anemia. With that amount of bleeding it's likely you are, which is why you are exhausted. You will need iron supplements at least.

Make an appointment with your GP tomorrow morning. Don’t ler them fob you off.

Wowzer that’s shocking. Back to GP and tell them exactly what you’ve posted here. You really shouldn’t be going through this at any age let alone 20. Flowers
