Irregular bleeding: Need more information to be accurate, but if you have had unprotected sex, check a serum HCG level. Your age is not listed, but if pregnancy is possible it is important to make certain with these symptoms that you do not have an ectopic pregnancy. There are many causes for prolonged irregular bleeding, so consult your gyn provider.
