Brief Answer:
progesterone deficiency...explained.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
If you are not married then please get a serum progesterone levels done on day 21 , which if less than 10ng/dl, indicates that you have progesterone deficiency and then you would have to be placed on cyclical progestins for next 6 months from day 11 to day-25 atleast.
This appears to be a case of progesterone deficiency which can be treated easily with cyclical progsterone therapy esp TAB MEDROXYPROGESTERONE ACETATE 10mg twice a day from day 11 to day 25 from next cycle.
This shall re-establish the balance and your menses also shall regularize your cycles and decrease the flow.
Regards
