I have no experience with this but.... does the bleeding seem like your period or is it different. Did the bleeding last as long as a period (3-7 days) and then stop as a period does or are you just bleeding continually (or spotting continually). It might be best to make an appointment with your gynecologist. You should have bloodwork to measure hormones (LH, FSH and estradiol). They might also want to do a baseline ultrasound of your uterus. You never mentioned how old you are.
