    My friend has had a period that lasted 1 year straight  she said sometimes very heavy and sometimes just spotting but never went away and finally after a year it would stop maybe close to completely for like maybe 4 weeks and start again is this normal? She is 58 be 59 Nov. She hasn't been to doctor nor will she go she thinks it's all normal because of sometimes it will go about 4 weeks will little to nothing AFTER the full year of a period.

      Take your drowns to get checked out. Tell her I just turned 59 n having similar symptoms...the never ending periods... but never a year. just went to doc who said she isn't worried. Pap was normal n now she wants to look at uterus. I'm a scaredy cat too but I'm going to let her do that test too. I'm tired of the anxiety from worrying about it...even though all women in my family have periods til late 50s.

      Make her go...hugs!

    Hi Alllie, my last period was 27 days long, i too have a fibroid but my Gynae says its not the fibroid it is peri. I had some days of flooding, then steady then spotting, then flooding a couple of days again then spotting. It was so exhausing. But, it did stop and i have had no bleeding for 22 days now, i will have to wait and see. x
