Menometrorrhagia: Abnormal bleeding like you describe is suggestive of something more than a minor hormonal issue. Most likely causes are polyps, fibroids, endometriosis and infection. See a gynecologist promptly.

Variable causes: At your age you could be in a period of transition with your hormonal levels. This can cause cycles where irregular ovulation or suboptimal ovulation occurs .What needs to be done is to evaluate whether if you're bleeding from any other abnormal reasons such as a fibroid or a polyp or a potential uterine lining abnormality.
