Hi guys! I want to preface this by saying this is not a current issue. I have PCOS but eating healthy, losing weight, etc., and my cycles are pretty regular right now. So it may seem weird to ask about this but I wonder about this often... And I just want to know what was going on!
In January 2019, after not getting a period in December, I started bleeding... And just. Didnt. Stop.
And it wasn't a small bleed or spotting most days. It was HEAVY. Huge clots and I had to wear a tampon and two pads, and still occasionally leaked. And i didn't stop bleeding until halfway through April!
It did seem to follow some sort of rhythm; heavy heavy bleeding for 6 days, 2-3 days of medium, 1 day of light (but not spotting), then back to heavy. It was misery, but it was consistent!
But I just really want to know what my body was doing. Like, is it possible I was having multiple very short cycles? Is it even possible to have a cycle that short? Is it possible I just had THAT much uterine lining? I'm so confused because it doesn't seem like that should have been possible. When I asked my endo, he couldnt give an answer and just said, "our bodies do weird things when our hormones are imbalanced."
I know it was caused by my hormonal imbalances/PCOS, but also I'm still confused. Also wondering if anyone else had anything similar?
