15 days on period!!

I have been on my period for 15 days which is totally abnormal for me. Let me give you some history. August 20th of this year I had cryosurgery for inversion. I have two normal periods since then. This is my 3rd period since I had that done and for some reason my body is totally out of wack. I kept having this sharp payne in my lower left side where my ovaries are. I didn't think anything about it thought maybe it was gas pains or something. Well then I started spotting light pink on Oct. 23rd. Then it turned to a dark brown and got slightly heavier to where I thought I was having a very light period. I called the Dr. who thought the same and told me not to worry. So then on Oct. 29th (6 days later) I started bleading my normal beginning flow like I just started my period. I called the Dr. to tell them and they said if I cont. to have pain or if my period does not stop in a few days to call back. Well It is now Nov. 7th and I'm still on my period. I am back to a light flow that is a light brown but it's still going. I called the Dr. and since it's Fri. they Dr. isn't in so they made me an apt. for Mon. Has anyone ever experienced this? The nurse says she does not suspect it is in any way related to the chryosurgery but I've never done this before. They haven't checked me since the chryo so they don't know that. If it's not related then what could it be? Any ideas? I had a tubal ligation done about 5 yrs ago so I don't think I'd be pregnant.

I am responding to you regarding your situation because I too am having a period that has lasted for about 3+ weeks. I have always been very regular except for the last 6 months. I had a period the 1st August, skipped about 2 months and then started what I thought was another regular cycle about middle October. It's not too heavy (had 1 heavy 1/2 hr. episode!)just pinkish/brownish but constant "spotting/light bleeding". I called my gynecologist and they have be scheduled for a "biopsy" tomorrow! I'm a bit nervous! I feel this is extreme. What if I just have a thyroid problem? Have you had any biopsies etc? Have you had any thyroid testing done? Do you know what the odds are that I might have a tumor? Any info. would be so appreciated!

Sorry it took so long for me to post. I had forgotten to check the board. I did go to the Dr. Mon. They didn't find anything wrong. I did not ovulate in Oct. They suspect it could be an ovary cyst but he could not feel anything. He said it's possible the cyst is developing and may be too small to feel. Tomorrow I have to start 10 days of progesterone pills which is suppose to clean me out like a DNC and make me shed all my uterus lining and start over. If that don't work they want to go in and look around w/ a camera so they can get a picture of things. Today I have started bleeding red blood which is heavier. It is usually just brown spotting but now it seems to be getting worse. I have no idea what's going on. I'm on day 19!! Uggg!!!
