Hi!
You mention your weight, and it is probably the reason for what is going on.  With the extra pounds, your body is producing extra estrogen, and that can cause irregular cycles.
Even if you are still having regular cycles, the extra estrogen may be causing the uterine lining to thicken too much.  When abnormal thickening occurs, it can then be discharged with the appearance you describe.
If you were my patient, I would want to have you come in for an ultrasound of the uterine lining.  I would also want to treat with progesterone to "clean the uterus".
Good luck!

I hear alot about the HCG diet and was wanting to know how safe it was. Is there side effects if you are trying to get pregnant?  What about taking medication like Welbutrin XL?
