What Causes Prolonged And Heavy Menstrual Bleeding?

I have had my period since October and I was bleeding and clotting so much at one point that I was pale and I went to the E.R for a blood transfusion. The gynecologist that I have been seeing hasn t done any tests on me and she basically just said we had to play with my hormones. So she put me on birth control and medroxyprogesteron (only for ten days). Now I have used the birth control for over a month and my period never fully stopped and I m starting to clot again. Any idea what this might be?

HI
Well come to HCM
Such irregular menses could be due to imbalanced hormone and this may comes to the normal even without the medicine but this may need some time, if bleeding does not stop then even after days then this may need some investigation like ultrasonography and blood work this is the ideal way of treating such case, hope this information helps, take care.
