Abnormal Period

Hi, my name is Chanel and i've been on my period for about 3 weeks now and i just left the doctor's office.  She prescribed premarin to help stop the bleeding but i'm very skeptical about taking it.  I looked it up online and the side-effects are very frightening.  The last time this happened, I was prescribed vitamin K to stop the bleeding.  Can someone please clarify exactly what premarin is and how it is going to stop this bleeding?

I'm not entirely certain as it seems to be for menopause.  What circumstances surround your prolonged period?  Is it breakthrough bleeding from missing a pill or taking a pill late?  Did it just randomly happen?  Does your doctor suspect you are pre-menopausal?  (I have no idea of your age, so it's worth asking.  My mom had really long periods when she was pre-menopausal.)
