Period problems.....please help....

Hi everyone! I am new to this but I need some opinions... Figured this would be the best place to start. I am 25 years old and have never had regular periods.  I will go for 1 year not having a period and then I will have a period that lasts 6 months. I have gone to the gynecologist and the blood work and pap smear came back normal. My gyn put me on Seasonique, the birth control where you only have one period every three months. Here's the problem: I have only been on the pill for five weeks and I am having severe cramping, heavy, heavy bleeding, and I am passing blood clots that are the size of the palm of my hand. Every doctor that I have ever been to claims there is nothing wrong. What should I do? I feel like I am running out of options.....

I have contacted my doctor and they are setting up an appointment sometime this week or next. They have done testing on all my hormone levels, thyroid, and cbc. Everything came back normal.

No doctor has ever recommended an utlrasound or a hysteroscopy. My doctor and I agreed to the bcp just to try to regulate my periods

I'm glad that you will be seeing your doctor and I hope that everything turns out to be fine.
