Today, thanks to a new form of birth control, I've now been having my period non-stop for six weeks. FML

Go with the flow (haha, get it?) But no, that is seriously awful.

I feel your pain OP. I've been on Birth Control for almost 2 years now, and my cycle STILL hasn't totally sorted. I have random spotting that lasts weeks, major heavy periods and sometimes bleeding that lasts a month. Talked to my doctor about it, and she's convinced it's not doing me any harm (Although I'm already severely anaemic and I suppose it's not helping!) and so she says I shouldn't switch pills. I would suggest that you give it time to sort itself out, and if it doesn't then perhaps try and switch birth controls. You have to give each a chance to work, you can't just swap about as you please, but if it's not working for you, it's not working. Good luck!

I had this same random spotting issue and my doctor said it was because my pill wasn't strong enough, and it actually hadn't been working correctly for the few months that I was taking it. It should defiantly be normal after 2 years.

Hm.. After 2 years and still your gp is not listening to you? I would get a second opinion.. Same happen to me, but I changed it after 6 weeks, and no problem since.

Yeah I might go back and ask for a second opinion. It's slowed down recently a little but, still having the problems. I mean, bleeding for a week each month is bad enough, but bleeding ALL the time really, really sucks.

I think you need to get that checked and quick!

I have had my period for 32 days now non-stop due to the depo birth control shot! So I know exactly what you're going through.

Read more about it it may cause u this horrible crap now but may cease em or shorten them in the long run may be worth it do your research!

I've heard of spotting for that long on starting different types of birth control, but that seems like a medical concern you need to address.

Well it's working, right? No guy is going near that thing.

I hope you have already seen a doctor in these six weeks... some extra days should already be enough to notice that something's wrong. I feel sorry for you, I'd be freaking out like hell in your place. I hope you come through this hormonal mess ;)
