A member asked:
I understand that during your period, the uterine lining sheds. i check every month and noticed this month it didn't come out. what could that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lining of the uterus: When a woman has a regular period the lining of the uterus always sheds, whether her normal periods are light and short or long and heavy. Some women see just blood with their period, others see what looks like tissue or blood clots. Either way, if it is a normal period for her, she shed the lining of the uterus. Bleeding that is abnormal may not be shedding the lining.

Hi there, so if your uterine lining is thick, it doesn't really mean, you have cancer, right? Could be just hiperplasia? I took prometrium for 10 days and the 11th was the first day of my period, but today, the 24th, after I thought it stopped on the 17th

So I didn't get a period for 3 months, up until valentine's day, and I'm still bleeding 30+ days later. Do you think the uterine lining just built up over the three months so it's taking a while to shed it all? Or could it be something else?
