Ellipsis

Also called a "rolling period", an ellipsis is when a woman has three consecutive periods across 3 consecutive months without breaks. They are commonly known to make life not worth living as they usually involve extensive amounts of pain in the uterus, and more flow than a fresh mixtape.
Lily: Aw fuck i just started my period right after i got off the last one. Its been flowing for 3 months now!
Kaitlin: Damn girl seems like you got an ellipsis going on down there.
Lily: I need another pad
