I'm, 18 and I'm experiencing some irregular bleed. My last period was Oct. 21 and it lasted for about 4 days. Now I'm having what looks like another period, the bleeding is a little heavy and a brownish-red color(Sorry for TMI). Is having a period twice in two weeks possible or is this possible or something I should be worried about?

Are you on any hormonal birth control? Have you had a PAP smear lately? If you're sexually active, that's definitely something you need to do every year.

If you're not sexually active, I wouldn't be too concerned about it if this is the first time it's happened. But, if it happens again, definitely see a doctor.

Here's an article explaning some of the causes of irregular bleeding:
