The menstrual cycle is regulated by hormones. So, any time there is an irregularity, the cause is hormonal.
The first thought that comes to mind is could you be starting perimenopause.
Anonymous, how old are you? Some women begin to experience menstrual cycle changes in their 40s, but some as early as their mid-30s.
Estrogen levels rise and fall unevenly during perimenopause.
Monitor your menstrual cycles. If you continue to have heavy bleeding and the interval between periods increases, like every two weeks, please consult your gynecologist. There is the concern of anemia secondary to increased blood loss from vaginal bleeding.
