Bleeding : Bleeding for so long is not normal. Is it spotting or like a normal period? You should return to your doctor for a new pill called provera (medroxyprogesterone). This will stop the bleeding. After that a work up can be done to determine a cause. You will need a pap smear and possibly an endometrial biopsy (test of your uterus). If you are at risk of having an std you must be tested at once. A pregnancy test is a good idea as well. Good luck.
