I started my period on Jan.10 and today(Jan. 19) I'm still having light bleeding. Now I know that it should have stopped by now. I've always have had irregular periods but it has never been like this. I'm not bleeding heavy or anything it's just light and still kind of cramping a little. So I don't know if it's due to stress because I have been stressed lately. Should I be worried. I don't want to get on birth control because my b/f and I are trying to conceive. So please help me I'm really afraid that something might be wrong.

If you feel like something is wrong never second guess your own body, talk to a doctoc. Stress can play a very important part in this but it depends on your situation. It can also be birth control.

I'm not on any kind of birth control.

Well I think it's stress honey. Or it could be that your body is just changing. When my cycle use to come on it stayed on at least 7 days and sometimes for 2 weeks but it was never late. And I had fibroids. But I never knew until I had a miscarriage.

Fibroids OK now I'm really worried.

Trust and believe I don't ever want to scare you, I a young girl that didn't even know anything about fibroids but I had to face the fact that I had them. I'm not saying you have them, that's just what caused my cycles to stay on long and heavy. Just walking to your doctor's and let them check you out, That's your body and I can't diagnose you I can only give my opinon.You are under stress, Get lots of rest and relax and whatever problems you have give it to GOD , I did.
