Hi Jennifer, 3 periods right after another? So, 30 days of continual bleeding? Wow! If your gyn doesn't think that something is wrong, I would go get a second opinion, especially if your periods have always been regular until now. A lot of problems can happen when you bleed that much. Let us here on the forum know how it turns out, I'm worried for you! Take Care, Maggie
