That doesn't sound normal by any stretch of the imagination. Do yourself a favor and get yourself checked out to see what's causing it.

Docbastard where are you when we need you? Sounds like you need a good gynecologist.

WHAT THE HELL? WHY HAVEN'T YOU GONE TO THE DOCTOR?!?!?!?!

Are you on birth control? I have the Implanon implant and I've been on mine since June 26th. hope it ends soon for you, girl!

Implanon can mess things up when you first start taking it, should settle down within six months so you can go see your Dr if not. I'm one of the lucky ones who just got instant reduction of all periods to barely anything, love that drug o/ It's worth pointing out that while, yeah, going to see the doc is a sensible choice for OP, it's not life and death - long/double/missed periods are a fact of life for most people who get periods, and *most likely* (not definitely) there's nothing wrong. Most sex ed resources recommend going to see the doctor if you've had weird periods for 2-3 months in a row. It's "I keep getting headaches, I'm probably just stressed but I should go see the doctor" level of serious, not "OH MY GOD I CAN'T FEEL MY FEET" level of serious.

It's so weird. I was the complete opposite on the implanon- didn't have my period at all the entire time I was on it. Now, two years after I had it taken out I only get my period for two days. Can't even imagine a month, let alone three. My sympathies OP.

I bled 7 months straight from my implanon. Had it taken out 4 years ago, my arm still aches every time I get my period

93 108 114 unfortunately, I've had the implant for over a year. My body won't regulate on it. This is the second time I've had it. the first time, I had it taken out and got pregnant with my son a month later. My doctor convinced me to put it back after after I had my baby, but that was a HUGE mistake. My husband and I just decided to take it out and try for #2. These periods, headaches, cramps, and crying is NOT worth it. I'm glad you didn't have one though. my sisters period stopped after the first 6 months. Lucky ducks!

Not to beat a dead horse, but definitely go to a doctor! Something similar happened to me and I found out I actually wasn't ovulating every month like I'm supposed to so then I would occasionally have really heavy, long lasting periods as my body's way of flushing shit out.

I once worked with a woman who just bled all the time, they didn't know why, and she'd have a tampon and a pad in and within an hour she'd have a pool of blood underneath where she was standing. I agree with some that it could be birth control related, or there could be underlying problems such as PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). Regardless, you should check in with your doctor, even if there's not anything horribly wrong with you, at the very least they might recommend supplements to help your body keep some iron, or sodium or something since you're bleeding so much.

OP you should really get that checked out:/
