What Causes Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding?
my period hasn t stopped yet and it s been two months I m twelve years old I got my first period on July fifth and its August the entry fifth now by the time you read this it might be later. I beg you please answer I m scared I m really tired and I don t know the difference between light or heavy periods . It s not soaking through anything so I guess it s light t it s jig little tiny dots. Also it might stop for a day or ot always comes back and I ruin my underwear. I have ruined so much clothes because it stops for a day or so. I m scared I don t know if s cancer if it is I may as well just die. I don t want cancer and I don t wanna die. I m scared of going to the doctors in real life cause I don t like shots. And my dad bought my some gummy vitamins called teens health or what ever but my sister keeps hogging them and my protein shakes because of lost a lot of iron. I m really really tired

Hello,
When you first start getting your period it can be very unpredictable. It may be heavy or light and not follow a pattern. It can take a while before it becomes regular. What you are describing doesn't sound like something dangerous. I still would recommend seeing your doctor about this just so you can ask questions and maybe even talk about things that can make your periods easier to deal with. You shouldn't need any shots or even an exam so there is nothing to be afraid of. Hang in there.
