By no means is this normal. You need to see an OB/GYN to evaluate you and determine a cause of the irregular cycling. Best Wishes!

The quick answer is "no this is not normal". I suspect that you probably did not ovulate in June and that is why you did not get your period. You state that your weight is 287 lbs. Women who are overweight frequently will not ovulate and have prolonged menstrual bleeding. Even though you have had your tubes tided I would recommend that you take birth control pills to regulate your bleeding. Good luck.

Not normal. You should seek evaluation from your OB/GYN to assess what is going on. It sounds like you may be having anovulatory bleeding. Your doctor will be able to assess and make recommendations to both regulate your menses and to prevent adverse outcomes down the road.

Abnormal Uterine bleeding can be due to any number of causes. You should see an OBGYN to check for fibroids and have some bloodwork . If you are overweight, this may be due to a hormonal problem known as anovulation. A Thyroid condition is also possible. I would also suggest a pelvic ultrasound.
