Hi, 

my periods have been regular till about the end of January earlier this year. I started experiencing bleeding in between my periods. The first time it happened it lasted 3 days around halfway through my cycle. The bleeding is very light, didn’t need more than a pantyliner. Since then, the spotting happened every month until may, once again, it wouldn’t last more than 3/4 days (apart from one time in March where it lasted 7 days). The bleeding was always very light, but there was a couple times where there was quite large blood clots (which was strange because the spotting was light). In February my periods also got a lot heavier with a lot of clotting, and they would last from 7-9 days. Since May, I haven’t experienced any spotting/ bleeding i between cycles until a few days ago, where I woke up in the middle of the night with blood on my trousers, and today where I wiped in the bathroom and had very light spotting - My period is still more than 10 days away. 

I have been to the GP multiple times. At first they said it was due to hormonal imbalances and said to wait a couple cycles and see if it goes away. I eventually got my bloods done where it showed my iron was very low (I’ve been taking iron tablets since). In June I finally managed to have an ultrasound, the results came back which showed everything as normal/healthy. The GP just ended up putting it down to unexplained menorrhagia, which I just decided to accept, and said I could go on the pill to help with the bleeding if I wanted. I have also been taking tranexamic acid the past couple cycles.

I was honestly fine with everything and thought nothing was wrong till the recent bleeding a couple days ago which has now made me worried again- so I came on here for some advice or to see if anyone’s experienced anything similar. I’m 20 years old and have no other symptoms - I barely even experience period pain hence why I am so confused.
