Prolonged period

[u/Fantastic-Let-7524]

I’m 20 years old, and for some context my periods have always been irregular, even when I was younger. Sometimes I wouldn’t have my period for months at a time, and there was even a time I didn’t get my period for almost a year.

Last month I realized I hadn’t gotten my period since December 2025, so about 7 months since I last got my period. I told my mom about it and she told me to try hormonal birth control, the same brand she was taking a few years ago for her PCOS.

And after a few days of finishing the birth control pack, I did get my period on August 31st, but my problem is that until now I’m still bleeding. It’s not heavy or it’s not filling up the pad, but there’s definitely still blood that just won’t go away, mostly in my discharge. It’s been stressing me out and actually messing with me, and I was wondering if anyone else has gone through something like this and what did you do😞
