Anovulatory bleeding: Pregnancy is always on the list of possibilities when a woman has abnormal uterine bleeding or cycles. You may be having anovulatory cycles (cycle without producing an egg from the ovary). If a urine pregnancy test is negative, i would recommend evaluation by your gynecologist, and treatment will depend on the cause of the abnormal bleeding and your current short-term pregnancy goals.

Menses: You may also consider getting an evaluation of your hormones. Perhaps, you may have Estrogen dominance or Progesterone deficiency/luteal phase defect or some other endocrine abnormality. Of course, Repeat the pregnancy tests if there is any doubt in your mind as your mom also went through a similar course.
