Yes. That's actually how I was diagnosed with VonWillaBrands I was having prolonged periods that began to become alarming and my doctor began running some test and got abnormal results so they did further testing to get that result.

My whole life I have had horrible cycles! They last anywhere from 12- 20 days at a time. And they were every 3 weeks when I was younger. Now I’m in menapause(53 yrs old) and I only do it every 3 mos, sometimes every 5-6 mos. But when I start, it’s the same long cycle. Just part of it. I find ice and rest, sometimes iron supplements, seem to make it shorter and help with fatigue and anemia.
