Brief Answer:
It is not abnormal and not unexpected!Called dysfunctional Uterine bleeding

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this change in your menstrual cycle and all the inconveniences this has caused you. For a teenage girl, this is common beacue the hormonal control is still not very mature and changes in cycle are very common. Almost all women do experience some sort of similar changes during their teenage years. There is no reason to be scared, stay cal, relax and monitor only. Unless something else comes up, there is no need for further aggressive medical attention. However, we may need to use hormonal pills for corrections if this becomes problematic.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
