That : That is abnormal. Please be sure your pap smear is up to date and you may need an endometrial biopsy. I am concerned also that you are 55 and still on the pill, please ask your doctor because oral contraception increases cardiovascular risk after age 50. You could have fibroids causing your bleeding as well, your doctor can usually feel those on examination. Please see your gynecologist for a complete evaluation.

Biopsy: Contact your doc and tell them your symptoms. You might need a biopsy of your uterine cavity. This can be from multiple causes such as perimenopause, polyps, hyperplasia, fibroids, cancers. So let your doctor know. Good luck
