It could be:
Hormones you are taking, like birth control pills or shots.
Not a period at all but an early miscarriage.
A new growth in your genital tract like uterine fibriods.
An infection that is causing your linings to become weak.
Or a lot of other problems. You really need to see your Ob/Gyn. Remeber that just the bleeding itsself could lead to dangerous anemia. You really need help to get to the bottom of this

DUB - dysfunctional uterine bleeding can occur at any age.
Ask your doctor for a saliva hormone test before allowing any use of birth control pills to regularize your period. I got a Depo-Provera shot (the 3 months birth control shot) and it tipped me from low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) into diabetes.
It is possible that high insulin production post partum may be a partial cause of your current problem. You may want to ask the doctor to check for that too, with a fasting blood insulin test.
I, later on, consulted with my health food store lady, and was successfully using wild yam cream (natural progesterone) to control my DUB, without need for birth control pills.

Then I got here across a web page about taking supplements and that i stated to myself "yeah, like this can artwork?" i changed into so wanting to make the bleeding stop that I went out and offered the conventional version of ladies's one an afternoon which changed into like $3 and Spring Valley's Hair pores and skin and Nails for somewhat better develop and lengthy an behold a month later i'm interior the sparkling. i'm no longer speaking about it being mild, it is lengthy gone. Like no favor for female products lengthy gone! i'm nonetheless in a small state of marvel that some thing so undemanding as taking supplements worked. i am hoping this enables you out!
