back-to-back periods?

I posted a few days ago about a pinkish discharge. I ended my last period about a week and a half ago, and that pinkish discharge has turned into regular bleeding. It's bright red and flows freely like a period but not as heavy. I've never had an irregular period before. Mine always start at the very beginning of the month and last 4-6 days. I've also had slight cramping (not as severe as normal). If this information helps, I had sex the night before I first noticed the light spotting. Thanks if you can shed some light on this!

p.s. How do you know when you are ovulating? I know that doesn't have much to do with the bleeding, but I'm curious. Thanks again!

Since your spotting has turned in to bleeding, I'd talk with your doctor.

I have been experiencing the same problem as you. This has occurred the last three months. It seems as though a have two small periods during the month even though I am taking the pill. Are you on the pill? I am curious because I have been on Triphasil for about 10 years and have never had this problem. I have always had regular periods. One thing that has changed is that I have a new partner and am engaging in sex a lot more frequently.

Did you manage to find out what was wrong? I went to my ob/gyn that first month I had this problem and my annual exam turned out normal. Though I am worried that these symptoms have persisted in the following months. I am going again to my ob/gyn next week just to be safe. I am curious to see if this just may be a result of some type of damage which may have occurred during sex. Perhaps this is what is happening to you.

Please keep me posted and I will do the same for you.

Thanks.
