Periods

Basically I had my period around a month ago. Lasted a couple of days. A week went, and I got a new one which lasted around 4 days. A week and a half has passed, and I've just started a new one as well.

I am usually not irregular. And if I am, it is not more than a couple of days.

Any clues of why this is happening? It's freaking me out.

    This is frustrating me. It really makes no sense.

    You should mention it to your doctor, probably nothing & wil settle down but worth mentioning. I have no idea why if you aren't on the pill.

    Maybe you're just getting the flu or something and every other time has been inbetween the periods?

    *gets out of this obvious womans thread*
    Lol.

    Actually it has been stressfull lately, and I have started a semi-regular excersize plan, I have changed doses of medication.
    But still, 3 periods within such a short time shouldn't happen. At the max you'd expect it to be double as long or just not to appear (which would make me happy).

    And at the moment as stupid as it sounds I don't want to go to the doctor, as I have been there too much already.

    Well James is right, stress can mess you up, as well as changing your eating habits eg more or less than normal.
    No chance of being preggie then?

    Don't worry about having to go back to the docs again. I know how you feel, cos sometimes I feel like I'm never out of the place, and it makes me hesitant to go when I have a new problem. But at the end of the day that's what they're there for, and some people simply have more problems than others! Tates xxx

    The others are right - it could be many different factors affecting your cycle, such a stress, change of diet/exercise plav etc. It will probably sort itself out with time, but a trip to the GP will put your mind at rest.
    The NHS helpline should also give you some advice:

    I've been exactly the same recently. Don't think it's anything to worry about, tbh, because most people are a bit irregular from time to time. If you think you might be getting anaemic as a result (e.g. if you have no energy), perhaps it's worth speaking to your GP.

    If you just want to sort it out and be regular again, the pill's good for that.

    Take care,
    Picc.
