Heavy menstrual bleeding

Symptom narrative

48 yo woman on birth control. Immune compromised with persistent hypogammaglobulinemia following Rituxan exposure allowed me to get shingles vaxx. Received my second Shingrix vaccine on 5/17/25. 3 days later experienced unexpected off-cycle abrupt loss of uterine lining over course of 6 hours (heaviest chunkiest period of my life). Continued "normal" period-type bleeding for 1 week. Have had intermittent bleeding for 4 total weeks to date. My birth control is continuous monophasic, so I normally don't have a period at all. I did have some mild spotting after initial COVID vaccine boosters. I know Shingrix only recently cleared for those under 55, figure its impact on menstruation may not be well studied and my data point may help.
