DUB: What you are describing sounds like dysfunctional uterine bleeding. This can have a variety of causes depending on your age, medical history, etc. It is something you should see your doc for right away. Should this be the problem, and it's been going on for a year then you could be severely anemic by now, and should have your blood count checked very soon. Thyroid disease may also be responsible.

Poor ovulation or...: Depends on cause of heavy bleeding. Need evaluation (labs) and sonogram. Often due to poor ovulation (polycystic ovaries - pcos). So no rhythm to female hormones and hence no rhythm to uterine bleeding. Non-surgical options include: birth control pills, cyclic progestin, Lysteda (non-hormonal rx taken during period), & Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud.
