Hi I think you need a high dose of progesterone to stop the bleeding. You can increase the dose of regesterone after consulting your doctor and then lower the dose after 3 days.You can also take some medicines like tranexamic acid to stop the bleeding. It can be a perimenopausal symptom as your other tests are normal. Hope it helps.
