Q: Strange Period? Please Help

asked by: daniyellow on May 20th, 2005

I have been having periods for about 6 years but i've never had one like this. Is it normal to have a heavy period for a couple of days, stop for a couple of days and then start bleeding again 2 days later?
Thanks in advance

although going on the pill may lessen the degree of bleeding, there are also other undesirable side effects to be concerned with. For example, weight gain and headaches. But what I want to know is, when you say "stop" bleeding, do you mean completely or is there still "spotting?" and when you "start bleeding again," is it heavy, light or just spotting? And for how long when you start again?
