Period question


Question Posted Sunday January 13 2008, 6:21 pm

Okay, 20/f. I've had my period since I was 12, and been on birth control since I was 16. A few months ago I switched from Yasmine 28 to Yaz (lower dose), and for the first month I spotted a little, then got my period, then everything was normal.
I got my period during the four day placebo cycle about two weeks ago, and now during the pill cycle, my period's showed up again.
Recently I came down with a cough, had no appetite, and lost about five or six pounds in two days. I know dramatic weight loss can have an effect on your period, but doesn't it usually make your period LATE, not come twice?
I'm also used to losing dramatic amounts of weight, as I have crohn's disease, which seems to flare up once a year. Every time I lose at least ten pounds in a very short amount of time, and my body has never done anything like this.
I'm sexually active, but very careful and have had the same partner for more than two years.
Very confused.
Any ideas?

Additional info, added Monday January 14 2008, 2:34 am:
Oh jeeze. Okay, I evidently need to clarify things.

*My crohn's disease is in remission right now. The point of saying that was that my body has lost a lot of weight fast in the past and I haven't missed periods, or become irregular because of it.

*I'm over the cough, I lost the five or six pounds, and gained some of it back (but I'm trying to lose 3-5 pounds right now anyway).

*I am as fit as a fiddle, going to the gym tomorrow, and work after some appointments.
My question is what could cause irregularity in someone with such general consistence? Could it be that the pill isn't the right dose?
I would ask if there's a chance I could be pregnant...but usually you're pregnant if you SKIP a period, not have two. Lol

My husband has Crohn's disease too. When he starts feeling sick like that, we immediately seek help. I would suggest going to the doctor and asking him what he feels is best for you. Unfortunately, I can't advise you on your menstrual cycle because of this situation. Crohn's disease can effect every system in your body. So, my advice, go to the doctor and make sure you get checked out. It could be another flare up. Good Luck!!

I'm no doctor thats for sure but your situation does sound kind of serious so your best bet would be consulting your doctor especially if your losing weight rapidly.

Sorry I'm not much help.
