Menstruation is a woman's normal monthly menstrual period. But what are the signs of abnormal periods? When is vaginal bleeding serious?...

I don't know why I think you are the supreme authority on this, but you seem so knowledgeable about these sorts of things, so here goes.

I had my period 2 weeks ago for 5-6 days. Then a week later, I got it again, and this is day number 4. It seems aa little bit lighter than it has been, but jeez, enough is enough already. What's going on? I am not on any birth control. Could it just be all the stress?

If you've recently gotten off of birth control, funny cycles are normal.
An odd cycle can be due to stress and a whole host of other things. Some women get lots of periods and some women have a few.

It is surely annoying! As long as you're not soaking through pads in minutes it's pretty normal, and all I think a gyno could do would be to prescribe bcp's to regulate it.

I have heard of a pill that stimulates ovulation but I don't think it's used to stabilize cycles.

I haven't been on BC since I got prego with Hannah, so that's ruled out. It must be stress. The stress of constantly having AF visit!

Thanks!
