Prolonged menses: If i understand you correctly you are saying you have been having bleeding for 6 months. If so, its time to see a gyn about the prolonged bleeding. You may have some form of ovulation dysfunction or other issue. There are a variety of diagnoses that can cause this, more than i can explain in this short answer.
