hi welcome to HCM
-i had gone through your query and understand your concerns,i would come up with the possibility of DYSFUNCTIONAL UTERINE BLEEDING may be the cause.
-the cause is purly hormonal and that the hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the endometrium and induced by a high titre of oestrogen in the circulating blood
=kindly rule out the other possible conditions like hypothyroidism with thyroid profile and pocd with ultrasound scanning for pelvis
wishing you good health
