What Could Be The Reason To Have Prolonged Periods And Then A Short Break And The Cycle Repeats Again?
what happens if you have been on your period on and off for the past month and a few weeks. I went to a doctor and they said its normal. its mostly a heavy flow and right now it has been going on for 11 days straight no stopping. Other times it would stop for 1-3 days and start back up again. Is there something wrong with me?

Symptoms of heavy blood loss or "Menorrhaggia"
Symptoms of frequent blood loss or "Polymenorrhea"
..are both Gynaec emergencies.
How old are you ?
Does the blood loss include any pain in the abdomen or cramps ?
Heavy blood loss may lead to Anaemia,Hypovolemic shock.
Either way,the best option will be to get and Ultrasound done of your abdomen to rule out any Uterine disorders/Bleeding fibroids and visit a Hospital as soon as possible.
Good Luck !
