    Have you been to a doctor? You should've gone a LONG time ago. Get off your computer and go to the hospital NOW!

    We have NO way of knowing what's wrong, but at this point it's a pretty safe bet to say that it could be serious.

    Take yourself to a doctor. Today.

    Why haven't you gone to the doctor?

    Is there anything going on in your life as to cause this to happen?

    Could be from a number of factors... polyps for example can cause prolonged bleeding for some women. Depending on the reason, it might be easily sorted or it might require more invasive treatment.
    As has been said, make an appointment with your doctor and have it checked.

    I have been to the doctors and I have had many a test, nothing is showing up in the results. They have changed my diets, my meds, told me I had PCO but I thought that with that you hardly get a period

    You need to find a better doctor. There has to be an explanation for what's going on.

    I hope you can understand why we got concerned when we thought you hadn't been to a doctor yet.

    If you don't mind my asking, where are you? I'm in northeast Ohio. The mention of the cleveland clinic caught my eye.

    I've heard mixed reviews of the clinic. Some people love. Others think it's too commercialized and they focus on publicity more than actually helping people.

    Speedtest,

    I had a very similar situation and the doctor's were not able to find anything by doing normal ultrasounds. In order for my issue to be resolved a D&C and hysteroscopy was performed and at that time the situation was resolved. There was abnormal masses that needed to be removed which was causing the bleeding.

    Definitely get the issue resolved a.s.a.p because 200 days is a very long time to be dealing with this amount of blood loss.
