Been on my period for 6 almost 7 months now....

I have been on my period for 6 almost 7 months now and dont know what to do. I am 21 so it isnt menopause. I had the Depo Provera shot right after I had my last child (she is 7 months). I havent had one since and it is only supposed to last 3 months. I cant afford to go to the doctor and really need to know what may be wrong so I can try to fix it. This really isnt helping my relationship and  I need help. Thanks for reading this and trying to help!

hello! I had the same kind of situation actually. I got the depot shot in february last year, then got another one 3 months later... decided i didnt like it cause i gained so much weight. I stopped taking any kind of birth control. Once I finally got my period, it lasted over 2 months and it was terrible. luckily mine eventually stopped but i feel way bad for you ... 7 months on your period is absolute hell... I would advise going to a clinic (like planned parenthood) or a doctor. They can give you a pill that will stop your period, or they can actually scrape out your uterus (as aweful as that sounds), to stop the bleeding. good luck, and all the best to you! let me know how it goes

Their can be lots of reasons for this going on with your body. But you are not to young to being going thru menopause it happens at different times for everyone. I would thou call your doctor and tell him your situation and explain that you can't afford to come in but need answers, alot of time if you are having a problem they might not charge you for the visit but talk to them about it before you go in and if they wont do that I would say find a free clinic and see how they might be able to ***'t you.  Good luck.
