Extra Menstural Cycle At Least I Think Posted: 04-28-04 03:56am
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.

It has been 7 days to the day. I started
last tuesday and im still bleeding.
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.
