Mid twenties female. I have bled for 100 days straight. Sometimes it has been heavier, sometimes lighter, but always true period bleeding, not spotting. It’s awful and I feel only half alive. I have no idea what’s going on and I would love any and all hypothetical causes. Never been sexually active.

I have seen countless doctors, had countless tests (blood tests, MRI, ultrasounds), and attempted almost all of the treatments, from clinical to super crunchy. I have not gone on birth control yet because I really wanted to find a root cause. I couldn’t get a doctor to do an endometrial biopsy because I was told that this much bleeding was ”just a normal symptom of PCOS”. I do have multiple follicles in my ovaries but don’t necessarily have the other symptoms of PCOS. Maybe I do have PCOS but is this much true bleeding really just normal? And should I just accept that I need to go on birth control? I am just worried that if I don’t figure out what’s going on then it will make it really hard to have kids and also that I will miss something important that is wrong with my body.

Made lots of other posts all along the same line, so you can go back and look at those for more info. I am too tired to go back and put all that there. Sorry if my words aren’t making sense, I just can’t seem to focus anymore.

TL;DR I have bled for 100 days straight…what the heck???

PS I am not anemic, surprisingly. Been keeping careful track of my iron and ferritin and everything and it is all doing well at the moment. Have become anemic in the past, though, and needed an expensive iron infusion. I don’t want to do that again, so I will go on birth control if I can’t figure this out soon.
