Normal duration of the cycle is considered to be from 21 to 35 days. This means that if your cycle lasts shorter than 30 days (21-30 days) you can have 2 periods in one month.

Kidney infection can’t disturb fertile abilities directly. Kidney infections, if not treated properly, lead to chronic kidney failure. Women with kidney failure can get pregnant but won’t stand the pregnancy.
