Thankyou I will take you're advice and ask for another doctor to see if they will help me more, hopfully they sort it because its so stressful and flustraiting ~I hope its nothing serious, thankyou all again x
I think you should get a second opinion from a new doctor. Bleeding for 7 months is unusual.
Menorrhagia is the term used to describe menstrual bleeding characterized by heavy flow and/or prolonged duration. Heavy flow lasting more than seven days but occurring with regular monthly periods may be normal for some women. However, menorrhagia is a symptom, which is usually the result of an underlying condition.
Menorrhagia is often associated with:
irregular menstrual periods
passage of large blood clots
menstrual bleeding that soaks through one or more sanitary pads or tampons every hour for several consecutive hours
disruption of a woman's usual lifestyle activities
pain in the lower abdominal area during a period
Possible causes of menorrhagia include:
hormonal imbalances (especially estrogen and progesterone)
anemia or blood clotting disorders
fibroids, cysts, polyps, or tumors of the cervix or uterus
certain birth control devices (such as an intrauterine device — IUD)
pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
abnormal pregnancy (a miscarriage, for example)

I am sorry to hear that you have had to deal with this problem, how stressful. You say that you went to the doctor, was this doctor an OBGYN/GYN? I am guessing it wasn't ( if it was go to a new one). There are a few reasons this could be happening, but as I am not a doctor I can't know what it is. I would definitely have it checked by a new doctor to get an answer. Best of luck to you.
