What does it mean when you have a period twice in one month?

What is wrong if you do not have a period for three months and then it comes heavy with dark blood?
Most likely it is You should really see your doctor. What are the causes of bleeding? Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy is always of some concern. Significant bleeding (soaking a pad or more) after 20 weeks of pregnancy is referred to as an Antepartum Haemorrhage (or 'APH'). Lesser amounts of blood loss may be referred to as 'spotting' or 'scant loss'. Vaginal bleeding before 20 weeks of pregnancy is generally referred to as a 'threatened miscarriage'. You can read more about this in bleeding during early pregnancy. The main causes of vaginal bleeding after 20 weeks of pregnancy that could amount to an antepartum haemorrhage (if heavy enough) are bleeding from the woman's cervix or her vaginal area (about 50 - 60% of the time), a low-lying placenta known as 'placenta previa' (about 20- 25% of the time), the placenta separating from the wall of the uterus, known as 'placental abruption' (about 20- 25% of the time) or unusual conditions known as 'vasa previa' or 'velamentous Insertion'(
Yes you could be pregnant and you need to see a doctor and have an ultrasound to find out what is going on. I can tell you that I am experiencing the same thing. I was worried I was pregnant but all my tests were negative, I even did a blood test and it was also negative. So I decided to do a transvaginal ultrasound and it turns out that I have a couple cysts. My docs say its nothing serious but cysts in the ovaries tend to come and go. They retain fluid that does not allow a normal period to occur but you still experience odd symptoms of pregnancy: i.e. tiredness, muscle spasms in the lower abdomine, and mild nausea. Hope this helps
No. Take them the way you are suppose to, do not skip any pills. This is important for a regular cycle.
Is it normal to have your period for two weeks straight while on birth control?
No, it is not. If you have had a couple of times when you missed a pill and then did the "catch up" thing the next day, it's possible you have unbalanced your hormones, and it is also possible that you became pregnant and are miscarrying. It is also possible that your hormone dosage just needs adjusting, there are many variables, but you should see your doctor, as soon as possible, to rule out the scary stuff and fix it if it just a minor tweaking of your dosage that is necessary.
What happens when a period comes early?
High bouts of stress and/or anxiety. It's normal for a period to change cycles, no one is on a set schedule.
Is a shorter that usual period with mucusy watery blood mean you're pregnant?
It sounds like it could very possibly be implantation bleeding that you are experiencing. I recommend that you take a HPT as soon as possible.
If my period starts a week early should I start the new pack of birth control pills a week earlier?
No, you should continue to take your birth control pills as scheduled regardless of any bleeding. If the bleeding is troublesome, heavy, or is accompanied by pelvic pain, pain with urination, or unusual vaginal discharge, see your health care provider.
Why does vaginal bleeding occur if you miss a pill?
There are two types of birth control pills in a packet - they are different colours to help you identify them. There are 21 active pills and 7 sugar pills. The active pills contain hormones that prevent pregnancy. The sugar pills contain no hormones at all and are just there so that you get into the habit of taking a pill every day. Once you start on the sugar pills, you are receiving none of the hormones and this signals the body it is time to bleed. You should get your period soon after starting the sugar pills. Therefore if you miss a pill, this is giving your body the signal to bleed unintentionally.
Are there any products that can stop a period for a few hours?
There is no medication that I know of that can stop the bleeding, but using a diaphragm will cap the bottom of the cervix for a couple of hours and stop any blood. If you have already started you cannot stop, but a doctor can give you some pills which will delay it before it starts (for hours or days if necessary), good for a pool party or similar.
Can the birth control pill make your period shorter?
Hello. Yes. Birth control pills make your period shorter, lighter and less painful.
birth control will lessen the number of days you have your period because your body believes it is pregnant even though you are not. talk to a physician or go to a womans clinic to have a pregnancy test done if you believe you may be but chances are you are not. p.s. be more safe with your body
Hello. You can skip a period while on birth control pills but constantly skipping periods via birth control pills, isn't recommended. Skipping a period this once will be fine.
Why are your periods extremely heavy when you're only a teenager?
some teens get very heavy periods, some get very light periods. If you have only had them a while they may settle down, but if they are preventing you living a normal life during them this is not normal, so see your doctor, there are medications you can take to reduce the flow.
AnswerEvery girl's body is different. If you are bleeding heavily for more than 4 days out of your 7 day cycle, then you should see a doctor to determine if there is something wrong. Heavy bleeding is changing a full pad every hour.Also, if you are extremely weak and lethargic during your period, then you may have a problem with too much blood loss and should definitely see a doctor.
If you energy level is just fine and you are not abnormally weak, then it isn't a cause for concern.
Also, don't take medication if you can possible avoid it. Medication which slows the blood flow or shortens periods are messing with your hormones. Hormones are a scary thing to mess with, read the fine print on the label where it mentions side effects, cancer is always on the list. Be very careful.
What could be wrong if you just got your period for the 3rd time this month?
My friend has had hers for 3-4 weeks straight- changing from heavy, to almost gone, then coming back. The doctor said it could possibly be a VD, but all the tests they did came back negative. Her doctor isn't sure whats wrong, but unless you are a hormonal birth control user (pills, patch, etc) & changed it recently, skipped it, etc. than I would say you should definitely go to a doctor.
There;s is a very small chance of this happening and being pregnancy related but it really is very unlikely. But do have a pregnancy test to be certain. Anything is possible after all. It is possible, but unlikely. There are several things that can contribute to a negative pregnancy test even if you are pregnant. Some medications can give you a false negative, the timing of the test can affect the results. If you did not follow directions properly; if you let the test sit for too long the results may read negative after a while. It is important to read the results within the amount of time given on the instructions of that particular pregnancy test you bought. If you did not perform the test properly (example: you drank a lot of fluids before taking the test, which can dilute your urine). Etc To ensure the best results: * Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest * Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results * Take the test no more than 1 day before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period, the percentage of accuracy is very low. * urinate for as long as possible on the foam-like strip * Check the results in the window frame of time suggested by the instructions of the pregnancy test.
