Anovulatory bleeding: Bleeding often on like that without a clear cycle usually means that you did not ovulate. In that case estrogen continues to be produced and the lining of the uterus is get swollen and then pieces of it breakoff in an unpredictable manner and so you never have a regular menstrual cycle. But spotting and bleeding off and on. Good Health
