Extended Period

I'm concerned about my period. I am on birth control and have been for almost 4 years and since then have never had any problems with my period. My period usually lasts 6 to 7 days. As of today, it has been 10 days. It has just finally gotten lighter yesterday. I'm thinking about calling the dr on Monday if I am still on it. I am worrying about nothing??? I'm not cramping or have any pain or anything.

Definitely make an appointment.... ask your doctor about fibroids, one of the most common reason for excessive or extended bleeding.

Welcome to the board ashhuff22.


Because you have been on your birth control for awhile and have no other problems, I would guess it just your body playing tricks with you.
