Possibilities : Your period is heavy because tissue built up over the past 9 months. The bigger question is why you didn't have a period for 9 months. May be perimenopause, or you may have a thyroid issue. It would be good to get some labs done, and consider an ultrasound to check the status of your uterine lining, and your ovaries. I see it all the time, usually not serious but deserves to be checked out.

My periods are prolonged and Im obese. My doctor wants me to take norethindrone 5mg to stop the bleeding for 3 weeks a month and one week off for a few months while I lose weight. Does norethindrone increase blood clot risk ?
