At age "37", in some women, delays in regular (ovulatory) cycles can occur, and with constant ovarian estrogen production , the endometrial lining can "thicken", with spontaneous bleeding an clots with breakdown of the endometrial lining. Ask your gyn about low dose oral bcp's, which stop ovarian hormone production and allow predictable cycles.
