Period? i have never really had a period every now and then for a day or two. but this time that i got one its been going on for 4 months now i don't know what to do about it. i have been seen by a doctor he didn't say much he wanted to put me on hormone

Prolonged : Prolonged vaginal bleeding not related to your period is called dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Depending on your age, there are a variety of things that could be causing it such as a hormone imbalance, annovulation (from your polycystic ovarian syndrome), pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, trauma, menopause, inherited bleeding disorders, and rarely, cancer. You should contact your doctor or another doctor for a re-evaluation. Even though you cannot take hormone pills containing estrogen because of your history of stroke, you still might be a candidate for progesterone-only pills or an iud (intrauterine device). I attached a website below that talks about dysfunctional uterine bleeding. I hope this helps! good luck!
