PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) causes sustained estrogen production with very infrequent actual ovulation, leading to prolonged intervals where the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is thickened. See your GYN physician for guidance, as he/she may decide to biopsy the endometrium. Ask your GYN about low does oral bcp's, the preferred treatment for PCOS.
