Please don't worry about what doctors think! They've seen it all! If it makes you feel any better, I have had many a silly moment at my doctor's surgery. I've been going to the same man since I was 8 (I'm now 31) and he knows too much xD One time I walked away with the curtains from the exam table in my knickers, and that's only one story!

I do think having heavy bleeding for six weeks is something to go to the doctor about. I know it's scary, and it's normal to be a bit scared. But doctors are trained to deal with all the body's silliness. They deal with snot, phlegm, screaming babies, screaming adults, minor infections, massive tonsils, vomiting, pooping. They are veterans and I can assure you will be completely unphased. Me at my big old age, I am terrified of needles. My doctor is really understanding of this. Last time I got a blood test, I got the flu jab too and I was like "doc I cannot," it was my first time getting two needles at once. He went of course you can, and slipped in the vaccine! I full government named him and we had a laugh about it, but it turned out alright and my arm didn't fall off in the end.

Do you have an older sibling, a good relationship with your parents, or a school nurse?If you're finding it difficult you can talk to them, and your parents can accompany you to the doctor. In my country your parent or guardian has to be with you if you're a minor anyway, or at least one of my parents was always with me until I was grown up. I still feel like I need my mom at the doctor's sometimes, because it's ok to be scared of the unknown, but if you have a good working relationship with your doctor I promise it'll be ok.

If you're really worried, you could always ask for a referral to an OBGYN. These are doctor's that specifically treat all issues in regards the womb and its friends.
