Period second time this month! Why?!
Question: I had a period at the start of febuary and it lasted 7 days. After having sex with my bf yesterday, I started bleeding again. I thought it might go away. But today its a full on period. I've been on the pop mini pill for a year, and I used to hardly ever have a period. It seems very unusual that I have now had 2 periods in one month. Do you think the pill still has an effect on me. What is causing my second period?

Periods that are too frequent (more often than every 28 days also called "metrorrhagia") can be related to several predisposing factors:
* If the periods are otherwise normal, then a short "luteal phase" or insufficient ovarian production of progesterone may be responsible.
* If the periods are inconsistent, then failure to ovulate and the resulting anovulatory bleeding may be responsible.
* If the periods are actually normal and once a month, but there are episodes of bleeding in between the periods, then mechanical factors such as fibroids or polyps may be responsible.
* Women with hyperthyroidism are classically described as experiencing frequent, heavy periods. They, in reality, rarely show that pattern, but we usually screen these patients for thyroid disease anyway.
I've experienced frequent periods too in the past that was caused by ovarian cysts.
There could be other causes for the frequent periods you are experiencing and I would recommend you see your doctor/gyno for further evaluation to see what they think could be causing this.
Good luck :)
best to go ask the doc, you might need to change your pill
idk
i would go to your doctor!

The body is a very complex organ and having 2 periods in a month, is not that uncommon. The body's functions can suffer from stress and affect the period. This may be a one off, or you may experience another upset when you are stressed out. If it happens again, do go and see your gyno for advice.
