Subject: 2 week long periods for 6 months now...driving me nuts
> I'm 18 years old and for about the last 6 months I have had major

> days and then stops, then it comes again in about two weeks. It is
> heavy for about 5 of these days and moderate the rest of the time. My
> question is, what could be some of the causes of this and is there
> anything they can do for it? I can't take any hormones cause of a
> vascular disorder I was born with so that rules out birth control pills.
> I am getting so tired of this. My whole life is periods. I am
> scheduled for a transvaginal ultrasound it 2 weeks so maybe that will
