Too Many Periods???
Posted: 06-05-06 13:13pm

I came off the pill on 14th april and had my normal withdrawel bleed. As I was taking anti-malarials I had protected sex until I had my 1st "proper" period (in 7 years!) on 10th may, which gave me 23 day cycle. After this we started trying to conceive.

I then started another period 11 days later (21st may) and then 15 days after this i've just started another period (5th june)! That's 3 periods in one month!

I've heard a lot of people say that it's just your body trying to get back to normal, but only with people not having periods (as opposed to people having too many!)

does this mean i've not been ovulating? :?:

is this normal? Should I see a doctor at all?

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Yeah, I would deffinitely see a doctor. I've heard of people skipping periods, but not having too many.

I mean, its probably nothing. Maybe you body just "saves it all up" hehe. But still, it doesn't hurt to check.

Hi,

thanks for your advice
i went to the doctor and given that
a) I haven't bled in between 'periods'; and
b) i've had no pain

i have nothing to worry about... Although I need to go to the drs if it's still like this in 3 months.

you should not have gone and watsed the drs. Time for this. It is all very normal and it was indeed that what everyone was calling it"adjustment" and "breakthrough bleeding." you'll be fine and yes it means you have not ovulated because your hormones are out of whack! Give yourself a few cycles and you'll everyting will be okay.
