Not Normal!: It is common for young women to have irregular menstrual cycles: have their periods last longer, come late or miss them all together. However, a period that is lasting for over 8 wks is not normal. It can lead to anemia (low blood count) and should be evaluated by a clinician asap. Your workup will depend on how old you are, other history, and findings on initial physical exam.

Not normal: Your age is not specified, If you are at the older end of the spectrum you might have an overprimed endometrium and have what is called dysfunctional uterine bleeding. If not older might have aborted and still bleeding, Might have some type of uterine growth. Need to see your gyn doctor as soon as possible
