two periods a month?

I'm 36...37 in a few days.  I have two children, and I have a history in endometriosis.  After our last dd I went on depo for a year, then switched to the nuvaring and used it as continuous birth control for pain management for  little over a year.  (had terrible periods).  I went off bc completely last August because we decided to let a pregnancy happen if it was going to.  So in the last 6 months, my period has shortened to 2-3 days long, then a full week passes and it starts up again for a day or two.  What on earth could be going on?  The second time is much shorter and I have no cramping or tenderness at all, but the first is a normal period - but no cramps like I used to have. 


The first couple of months it was so light I thought maybe ovulation spotting, but the last few months it's more like a period on a light to moderate day.  My cycles are like clockwork too.  28 days on the nose.


Thanks,


Jen

Hi Jen and welcome.


I also would suggest ovulation spotting but since it is so heavy, I am wondering if your endo is causing you some problems.
