According to the information you provided, you might be experiencing menometrorrhagia (heavy prolonged uterine bleeding). The menometrorrhagia might be caused by endometriosis due to polycystic ovaries. Polycystic ovaries cause an increased level of estrogen. This causes thickening of the uterine mucosa. Eventually the mucosa will go out accompanied with a prolonged or massive hemorrhage.

Polycystic ovaries are diagnosed easily with ultrasound.
