Q: Extra Menstural Cycle At Least I Think

Im on my second period for this month.

Normally I start my period the first week of the month, and did so this month. Last week I started bleeding again, and im still bleeding. Im not on birth control, and I am expericencing a little pain but that is about it. Normally I do not bleed for a week at most 4 days then its over. Currently I do not have medical insurance ( hubby is changing jobs). Should I go to the er? Is this normal?

Thanks,
teresa

I would wait and see how long it lasts. Sometimes the slightest stress or change in things can interrupt your cycle even if you are mostly normal. I would say not to go to the doctor unless it's a funny color, smell, texture or if you are bleeding a lot more than normal. Otherwise, if it continues after 7 days then I would see a doc.

The blood still looks red, no reddish/brownish color to it as if im ending my cycle.

where is the pain? Is it lower down near your pelvis? Is it on one side? Not to alarm you, but if I were you i'd look at the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. I had one a year and a half ago and a week after I ended my period, I began bleeding very red blood (not like the normal "period" stuff) along with pain in my lower left pelvic area. Because I was not pregnant in my uterus, but in my left tube, I still had my period.

Like I said, i'd look into that if I were you....
