Hi Leah:
A search term that my help is 'dysfunctional unterine bleeding' or DUB,
and then you can find the correct term to describe your unusual
bleeding. While the net is an okay place to get info, perhaps you
should see a doctor. There are so many potential causes of and remedies
for irregular bleeding...only a doctor can do the appropriate
investigation. Best wishes. (I'm not a Dr. by the way).
