60 day long peiod
I'm 15 years old and my period used to last 20 days and they suddenly jumped to 60 days for my last 2 periods. the bleeding is light and not always consistent its creamy pink most of the time. There used to be 2 weeks or less in between my periods now its 3 weeks. I started having sex in October of 2014. Could I be mabey vitamin deficiency or something like that? Mom says its normal and won't take me to a doctor. Someone please help me an help would be very much appreciated!

What state do you live in? In California, you can go without a parent if you are 12 years of age. I would look into your state's laws because 60 days (or even 20 days) is not a normal period length. They really shouldn't last past 7 days. A regular doctor can help you.

Honey, you are saying you have clots bigger than your hand? Really? Hm. Well, if that happens again, leave it in the toilet and go and get your mom to look.
You are spotting. The pink almost red is spotting and not full bleeding hon.
When this cycle is over, then take your mom up on the visit to the doctor for a physical. Get in front of a doctor and TELL them all of this. good luck

Not not profusely but I don't think I would call it spotting either,its much lighter than I used to have during my period for the most part its pink in color sometimes almost red, no clothing what so ever which I used to have.
The period I had before my first 60 day one had a CRAZY amount of cloting if I even moved I would have clots as big, if not bigger than, my hand and i only bled for 10 days

Some moms are funny about their daughters going on birth control. They worry that it will automatically make them have sex. If the alternative is pregnancy, then I'd definitely want my daughter on birth control over having a baby as a teenager! But some moms don't see the big picture.
Now, I want to clarify this---- you aren't bleeding profusely but rather spotting. You often just have pink discharge. this is not a full on period for 60 days. Right?

Bleeding for a long time can also be a sign of a uterine fibroid near the cervix. Definitely get in to see a doctor, ask if an ultrasound might be a good idea.
I don't see why she should be worried about me going on birth control, I mean if I had a daughter I would gladly put her on birth control if she needed it or wanted it much rather do that than have her bleed for 60 days plus less chance of getting pregnant. Right now I have been bleeding for 52 days so hopefully it should stop soon and not go over 60. Thank you so much for your help I really appreciate it:).

Thing is, you DO need to be diagnosed, whether or not someone might put you on birth-control pills or something else is found to be the problem. You should also get checked to see if you are anemic, after 60 days of having a period. That is ridiculous that your mom won't take you to see the doc.
If worst comes to worst, tell her you think you have a yeast infection and you need to be seen by a doctor.

Okay, this is actually good news. You are going to go get a physical after you stop bleeding? Which you think will not be that far off (as you have time periods between the bleeding?)?? Well, take her up on that. And absolutely, a pediatrician and family doctor can help you with this issue. My first pap smear was from our family doctor. They'll at the very least be able to talk to your mom about what is normal and not. Now, you may have to go on birth control pills, your mom is right. Do you think that is what she is worried about?
I live in Wisconsin but I have no way to get to a doctor by myself since I don't have a drivers license until next year and I don't have anyone that will take me
Yes we have family insurance. That's exactly what I keep telling my mom and she's convinced "its normal". She's making me wait until my period is over to go get a physical since I have had one in ten years and she thinks the doctor won't do anything for me but put me on birth control and "they wouldn't do that unless it was extreme" well I would say 60 days is extreme. I have never gone to a obgyn only ever a family doctor will he be able to deal with this kind of problem and prescribe me something?

A 15 year old in the states can't just call the doctor. She's NOT an adult, doesn't have her own insurance or probably the ability to pay for a doctor's visit. She's a MINOR. She needs parental consent. You 'could' try to go to planned parenthood which does take underaged girls in a clinic type of setting for a fee. But it would be best if you saw your own doctor. Do you have a pediatrician or family doctor? ANY time you are at that doctor whether for a physical to a sore throat to whatever, ASK them about this long period.
I would tell your mom that you are uncomfortable having bloody discharge and spotting for so long and it is hindering your activities so you would like to talk to a doctor about it. Tell her you don't have any friends with this issue AT ALL and that you have read that it could be a hormonal imbalance. You'd like to not bleed for such a long period of time.
Surely she'll understand that. Does your family have insurance?

You're 15, it's already time to start learning how to be an adult and take care of yourself. I mean it in the best way possible, but your health is not something you can mess with.
Why can't you just call the doctor? It's not something that you can just postpone.be wise, and call the doctor, there is nothing to be scared of.
Me and my grandma and aunt dont get along so they won't take me. Can my step dad take me order up an appointment even though he isn't my legal parent?

Hi there. Welcome. You say you have a period for 60 days? You bleed for 60 days? That is definitely not normal. You do need to be seen by an ob/gyn in my opinion. Being irregular is normal and you are lightly spotting (the creamy pink mixing with discharge) but that is not something that is common in young girls. How annoying!! But what can you do if your mom refuses to take you to the doctor? I would consider bringing the subject up with an aunt or your grandma too to get input and perhaps help her take the step of looking into why this is happening. good luck
