Ongoing menstrual bleeding for more than a month

I'm 47 years old, so this may be a symptom of peri-menopause and I do have an appointment with a gyn next week. Twice this year I have skipped a period. This past time I was more than two weeks late when it started on November 2. It is now December 5 and the bleeding has not stopped. (I definitely was not pregnant.) At one time the bleeding did lessen, and I would go a day or so with nothing, than sort of a burst of bleeding for an hour or or so, then nothing again. At the time that my period would have started normally, I experienced SEVERE cramping and started a much heavier than normal period with clotting. It has lightened up somewhat but I'm still having a "normal" amount of period bleeding. This is a nightmare. I ordered 6 pairs of the "period" underwear and wear them all the time because I was afraid to even leave the house due to random bleeding of unpredictable amounts. There has been moments of extremely heavy bleeding followed by nothing. If anyone has experienced this, I would be very interested to know if there was a cause. Again, I am seeing a gyno next week as I do feel it will require medical intervention, I am just curious.
