A member asked:

My period has lasted over a month and i'm leaving for vacation in 1 week! the dr can't get me in soon enough, so can i take estrogen to help stop?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Progesterone: The cause of a prolonged period - lasting a month as yours has done - is usually lack of ovulation which causes lack of progesterone. Progesterone stabilizes the lining of the uterus and signals when the period is to come. Treatment is usually either bcp or progesterone. Either will need to be prescribed by your doctor.
