Menstrual bleeding: period arrived early...what's wrong?
Posted: 04-15-07 06:45am

I went off the pill on Thursday 29th march and got my periods on Sunday 1 April. I was meant to get them on Monday 2 April if still on the pill, but they came early. Lasted for 5 days. Now got them again on 14th april. Not sure what is going on. Is this normal?

Early bleeding might be spotting. Spotting is considered "abnormal" vaginal bleeding. Spotting could be either functional in nature, which means that it could be due to a hormonal disorder. Spotting might also indicate an organic disorder that is due to an infection(s), tumor, etc. You SHOULD consult your gynecologist immediately and request an examination.
