Hugs, NP. I had something similar happen in 2021 (though with only a few months in between). It really sucked. See if your doctor is willing to prescribe you Provera, a fairly high dose of progesterone that you take for 5-7 days.
Other things: iron supplements can help (not just to replace lost iron), as can Vitamin C supplements--ideally with bioflavonoids (Sundown makes a good gummy that's available on Amazon). So can turmeric supplements and Vitamin A (I did a lot of googling when I had it!) I had maybe one other month like that, but haven't had issues since (they're becoming much less frequent).
Those supplements can also help with preventing the issues in the future. As can a low dose of progesterone (without estrogen--I can only take progesterone anyway because I get migraines with aura, which makes estrogen risky).
