One of the girls I babysit for has been on her period for about 10 weeks she is almost 12. Started at 9.?

We are waiting for her insurance card to arrive but in the mean time I am so worried for her that she will become anemic from loosing all of that blood for so long or that it will affect her when she gets older and wants children...
Answer:
As long as she has insurance she can be treated, all that would need to be known would be who her insurance company is. I would get her to like an urgent or immediate care center. That is a good place to start. Or even call one and see what they say, or call a local emergency room and see what they say.

She needs to be seen, and treated, that much blood loss isn't good. In the meantime, make sure she is eating and drinking well

TIP: Spinach is high in iron which is what you lose a lot of when you bleed.

Good Luck
take her to an emergency room the insurance can be billed later
You mean she has had her period for 10 weeks!!!!??? How can it be that long?? You mean to say she has been on it for 70 days?
take her to any emergency room asap, you can always retro bill the insurance later on. the most important thing is to make sure it is not something more serious than just an abnormal period, better to get it checked out now.
take her to the doctors... this is not normal at all, her future of having children may depend on it! go to a clinic if needed, where is her mother!
Have her parent or guardian take her to the emergency room. Emergency rooms cannot turn someone away just because they have no insurance. They have to provide treatment.

(minors must have parental or guardian written consent to accept treatment.)
