Plan B
17/f
My periods have always been really regular except for my last three. The first messed up one lasted a whole 3 days longer than it was supposed to. Then a week later I had to take "the morning after pill" for the first time. A week after taking the pills I had another period. I thought that maybe the pills caused me to have another period. But then today, almost two weeks after my last period, I started another period so now I've had two periods in one month. Is this normal or should I go see a doctor about it?

Actually, to have a period that is only 14 days apart is not healthy for your body at all. 7 days in between periods is VERY unhealthy and quite dangerous to your body actually, especially when there's only a couple of weeks before you have yet another period.
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 to 2 weeks (if not a little longer) 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.
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.
If I were you, I would probably wait this period out and see what happens with the next one unless this period is lengthy (then definately see a doctor). The morning after pill does really nasty things to the body so it might be your body just trying to rid itself from the dramatic increase and drop in synthetic hormones. If your next period is earlier than it should be then definately see a doctor.
Having only a week or two in between periods is very unhealthy for your uterus and can lead to scarring, especially if it's a frequent occurrence. A scarred uterus can lead to future complications with trying to get pregnant when you're ready to have a child.
See what happens with this period first. If it's longer than expected then you should probably see a doctor to make sure everything is alright. If future periods are coming sooner than they should then definately see a doctor.
If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me! :)

i remember when i first got mine for the first year i had it twice a month. so it should be ok, especially since you just took the pill. it probably just set you off a little. if you don't take any pills for a while but it continues then you might want to see a doctor. but right now it should be nothing to worry about. it's probably just one of the side effects of the pill.
henaaaa :]
