Menstruation - are two periods in same month normal?
Posted: 10-28-07 19:54pm

This month I had two periods. This is very unusual for me. Should I be concerned and should I see my doctor?

see your dr but there could be many causes for it. I wouldnt worry too much about it. I have been having issues with periods every 2-3 weeks (when they were every 4 weeks normally) and the dr told me it was somehow related to the endometriosis I have.

I am having the same issues of two periods is one month but I was told it was low iron. Am I being mislead or is it just stress that s the question? I talked with a doc and he said to take iron pills so maybe try that it worked last month for me.

Well... from what I thought, having multiple periods/excessive bleeding would CAUSE low iron, not the other way around. But I'm not a doctor. It could be a lot of things though, always good to check.

Just finished my second period in one month. The flow was lite, but cramping and burning in lower abdomen area. Perhaps it is just stress. I am anemic. Should I consult my doctor?

i think that the best thing to do would be to visit a doctor and get some advice.
Having 2 periods in 1 month is not right at all.

Yeah- bleeding a lot could make you more anemic and that's not healthy. Smile

Ive always had irregular periods, and for the past 3-4 years Ive had 2 periods a month, one would be heavy and long, the other would last 4 days and be extremely light. (usually)

Ive been on Loestrin FE birth control for 6 months now to try and regulate, and it has helped. A lot. No more cramps, no more heavy periods, and the best part, one period a month. This is actually the first month that Ive only had one period, it takes awhile for your body to get used to the medicine. But its a suggestion for all the girls who have irregular periods, Ive had good luck with it so far. The first 3-4 months I was extremely emotional though, and lost any sex drive at all, only bad side effect Ive had, and the sexual drive is coming back now. But now its SUPER light (Im actually thinking of getting a Diva-Cup, because its so light that my light tampons wont get wet enough during the day and they hurt to take out) and they only last 4-5 days.

And I dont know about the iron thing, but I know that these pills do have iron in them on the days you are suppose to be on your period to supliment for all the blood and iron you're losing.

Yep, to combat the anemia caused by some women's periods. But the b/c will lighten your period in general, so that would help too. Good advice.
