Not Knowing Age: But given that you are a virgin, I will go off the assumption you are a younger female, probably 16-20. Anovulation (meaning not producing an egg) is the most common cause of long cycles and heavy menses. That said, some endocrine problems like thyroid issues and Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) can be the cause of cycles like this. To find out cause, see a doc and have exam and blood tests done

Anovulatory cycle: Hi, You need evaluation by a Gynecologist ASAP, you have what we call Dysfunctional Uterine bleeding due to a hormonal imbalance and not ovulating, if your bleeding continues like that then you are going to become very Anemic, you need evaluation and treatment ASAP. Your doctor might choose to start you on some sort of birth control either oral or injection. See a doctor right away please. Be safe
