Really Scarred
hi Razhie, I am really scared. I have been getting my period for about 1-2 years now, and its wierd. I started out heavy and like ended by 6 days. Now, I get it for only 3 or 4 days and its very light. This month I got it on the 2nd to the 4th and it was very light. BUT I just got it again today (the 25th) and I am really scarred! Is it normal to get it twice a month? PLEASE HELP! I am very insecure and I cannot talk to my parents about this or sister. thanks so much!!!!

I’m confused… this didn’t appear into my inbox until right now. So sorry for the delay.
You didn't mention if you are using any hormonal birth control, so I'm going to assume you aren't. If you are taking the pill, or getting the shot or anything like that, stop taking it, and go back to your doctor and follow up on that.
But if you aren't, relax. There are a whole bunch of things that could cause this. Change in diet, exercising differently, the heat in the summer… any of these things could cause lighter periods, and spotting.
When you bleed between periods, it’s not your period. It’s called spotting and it’s simply loose or left over blood breaking free. It’s not a big deal. Sometimes you body doesn’t discard all the blood at once.
The only time you need to be worried is if you are getting two or more heavy bleeds within a month, having rather constant bleeding, if you are in unusual pain OR if you are feeling faint/feverish or otherwise ill.
If all that is happening is that you are leaking a bit of extra blood, you are probably just fine.
