Is it possible to get your period 2 times in a month? I got mine the 14-19 of September and then I started it again the 27 through right now. Is it because the 27 is so close to October or what..?
Thanks in advance!
Your body bleeds quite a bit of blood and uterine lining out during your period. Because of this it will take a good week and 1/2 or more for your body to get back up to "normal" if it was "normal" to begin with. Sometimes we weren't "normal" when we started our period so it will take even longer for our bodies to health back up to normal health. You may FEEL better, but remember that the uterine lining must repair itself in between cycles.
Stress can cause your period to come early or late, but it usually only does that by a few days. Sex can also do this to a period, but it's really the stress of pregnancy that causes it to be delayed or to come early. So, this being said, stress is probably NOT the problem.
Regardless if the period is light or heavy, this isn't healthy. It's hard on your body and you can develop anemia very quickly allowing this to happen. Your periods really should be 21 complete days apart at the least, 28 being ideal. You can better track your cycles at:
Please see a gynecologist for a health evaluation. When my periods did this it turned out that I had a cyst on my ovary. My ovary was also being over stimulated, releasing eggs back-to-back, which is not healthy either. My uterine lining was constantly being shed.
It isn't normal, no matter what other users want to say. NOT NORMAL! NOT HEALTHY! YES, DANGEROUS! Your body simply cannot function healthily having a full-on period with 7 days in between of no bleeding. Those 7 days isn't even giving your body enough time to heal, which will lead to complications regarding possible scarring in the uterus--no joke! A scarred uterus will not allow a baby to form properly so you would be considered infertile.
See a doctor. See a doctor NOW. This can become serious in a hurry. You can quickly regret not seeing a doctor when you needed to in a couple of years when you decide to have children and find that your uterus is scarred from periods like this.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me! :)
P.S. Regarding women's cycles synchronizing when around each other often: this means the bodies SLOWLY synchronize a few days at a time. Meaning: It will take MONTHS for the two women's cycles to be in perfect match.
Example:
One woman has her period every 21 days.
The second woman has her period every 28 days.
The second woman's cycle (if changing) will slowly start to shorten each month. It may go from 28 days to 26 days the following month, then 24 days, then 23 days, then 21 days.
The first woman's cycle (if changing) will go from 21 days to 23 days the first month, then 25, 26, and then to 28 days.

Your body is regulated to have a period every 28 days but sometimes things mess with it, like if you're around the same group of girls for a while you'll all have your period at the same time after a while because your bodies synchronize. Weird huh?
If this happens more than just this once I would see a doctor because for me it meant policystic ovaries and that could be dangerous. They regulated my period and got control of the cysts with birth control when I was fourteen.
Expect to not have a period in October though. [ pseudophun's advice column | Ask pseudophun A Question ]
