Every month, a woman has a menstrual cycle as the body goes through changes in preparation for the likelihood of pregnancy. An egg is released from an ovary each month during ovulation and hormonal changes will get the uterus ready at the same time for pregnancy. The uterus lining will shed through the vagina if ovulation occurs and the egg is not fertilized. This is the menstrual period. Are two menstrual cycles in one month possible? Read on below if you want to know the answer to this question. First of all, menstrual bleeding will most commonly occur two times
Are Two Menstrual Cycles in One Month Possible
Stephanie
Hello I had my period on January the 25th 2018 it was 3 days late. I bled my norm 5 days. I had sex on Feb 1st I put on my birth control patch that nite and I ended up talking my patch back off on the 3rd because it was really irritateing my arm so I took it Off and ended up having sex on Feb 4th as well. On Feb 11th I started spotting and it lasted 3 days. It wad extremely light only a couple dots on my pad. Was this bleeding from me taking the patch off or was this implantation bleeding? Could I be pregnant
Hi Stephanie, it looks as though your fertile period was the 4th through the 8th and that your next period (based on a 28 day cycle) is the 22nd of February. Generally you wouldn’t experience implantation bleeding until close to when your next period is due. However if you had unprotected sex you could have potentially gotten pregnant, but that has yet to be determined. Most likely the spotting is from stopping your birth control. I would consider another form of birth control and ensure you watch when your next period is due.
Hi, so back in on November 3rd I had my annual papsmear my period was suppose to start the following week , when I had the pap done it had a little bit of blood and was told my period was coming which I already it was I was expecting it around the 8th well on the 6th I went to the bathroom and when I wiped there was a little bit of blood it wasn’t red but more of a light pink so I thought oh my period is here I decided to put a tampon on and went on with my day around four hours later I went to the bathroom and notice the Tampon had no blood so I decided to not put one back in but everytime I would go pee and wipe I had light pink spotting for about a week never enough for a pad or panty liner I never got th regular menstrual bleeding, On November 23rd I started bleeding again this time like a normal period lasted the regular days my period usually last, well 2 weeks after that December 11 I got my period again the same amount of days as usual On January 9th I got my period again lasted same amount of days as usual 4-5 days it’s now February 16th and period isn’t here my period are pretty irregular I hardy have them right on the 28th or 29th day I usually try tracking it by every 30th but I’ve never had 2 periods in one month I also took pregnancy test and they were negative sorry for such a long message just wondering if maybe you knew why that happened ……..
Hello Yadira, it would be useful for you to read the article in the below link. However the best time to test for pregnancy is 7 days after a missed period.

Maybe you can answer this question for me I’m now on day 42 of cycle and no period and negative pregnancy test if period doesn’t come this month do you still ovulate or do I have to get a period first , my husband and I want to try conceiving for baby number two ….
Hi Yadira, If your periods are irregular you are ovulating at an irregular rate. If that’s the case, I would make an appointment with your doctor as they can see what is going on and recommend medication (if you want) to become more regular. I would consider that or ovulation tests if you are trying for another child. Good luck!
When You get your period twice a month is it possible to not get it again the upcoming month?
Hi Shel, it depends on your cycle, but generally even if you have it twice in month at the beginning and then the end (or whatever the case may be) you would still get it normally in the next cycle timeframe (take 28 days for example). And that should fall within the next month.
Hi my name is Amanda,on the 16 last month I got my periods as usual because I have a normal 28 day cycle and on the 27 last month again I started bleeding like a period so today aunt flo was supposed to come as part of my normal 28 day cycle but hasn’t and normally I have pms but this time none at all.Please help
Hi Amanda, Was the period like symptoms you had on the 27th like a regular period, last as long, same flow, etc? It could have been ovulation bleeding but that shouldn’t have been as heavy as a regular period. I would wait a week after your anticipated period now (so the 19th or 20th) and take a test. If negative then consider what your life has been like, any changes, stressors, medications, weight changes, etc. Otherwise just keep track and see when your next one comes. If there are additional concerns I would recommend making an appointment with your doctor.
Hi my name is Jane I had gotten my period on the 2nd of January and it lasted till the 6th of January.Later on in the same month on the 30th I started bleeding but my flow was not normal by the 31st I had experienced brownish discharge which had last till the 1st of Feb.My period was actually due to start on the 2nd of Feb and it is now the 11th and I still haven’t gotten it.I also haven’t been feeling too welll and I am unsure if what I got on the 31st was my period or if I’m really late and I should take a pregnancy test.
Hi Jane. It could have been your period. It falls within 28 days of your previous period. But, to ease your mind I would take a pregnancy test just to be sure.
I have the same thing except when mine came the 2nd time I bled very badly and now I missed I was so tired the last month and slept a lot now I am feeling okay but my cramps lasted 3 weeks I took a pregnancy test one came out with a light positive now I am getting a negative but still 4 days late
Hi Angelina, A faint positive is still a positive. I would recommend making an appointment with your doctor at this point to determine what is going on and let them know all of your symptoms, when you tested and got your positive as well as the bleeding and cramps. Good luck!
Wow thank you so much for the reply. My question is what if it was a gray faint line is that just a bad test ? I was supposed to start February 3 to the seventh I still have not received it and my pregnancy test today have come out negative So I guess I’m only five days late but I’m so confused because the month before I had my period like normal from the third to the seventh it was like that for four months about five then I only had bleeding for two days at the end of January and it was very bad I’m so confused should I just try testing in another week or two if it’s been five days should I wait the total two weeks
Hi Angelina, It could have been a bad test or an evaporation line, I’m glad you brought that up because that’s something that some do report (a lot more report them with blue dye tests as opposed to the pink dye tests). If your cramping has stopped then I would just count the last period at the end of January your regular period, but if you are still cramping I would still recommend a trip to the doctor, especially with it going on for a few weeks, only just to make sure everything is okay. I hope you get answers!
Hi my name is Shee. Please I had my menses on January 16th, 2018 and it lasted on the 23rd. I have been having unprotected sex after my menstruation because my hubby wants me to get pregnant. I saw another blood yesterday which is the February 4th which doesn’t look like my normal flow. I’m so confused. Can u pls help me?
Hello Sheena, this could be as a result of implantation bleeding. You can take a pregnancy test 7 days after a missed period to confirm this.
Thanks Alison for the response. Pls I have done the test but it’s negative. Is this normal?
Hi Sheena, you’re still at the beginning of when you should anticipate your period on a regular 28 day cycle. I would recommend on the 18th or 19th taking another test. Good luck!

Hi, I have had my period twice in December, 3rd-8th December and 23rd-29th December. The whole of January I did not have my period and it’s 4th February now. Could i be pregnant? I have minimal signs of pregnancy though
Hello Amanda, you might just have an irregular cycle. However, if you think you might be pregnant then take a pregnancy test.

Hello, I had my period on 19 Nov 2017, then did a preg test and was positive, then Dec 14th to 18th I saw my period again, but it was not normal flow. Now Jan 12th, I saw blood again, but not my usual flow, because I used to have very heavy flow due to my fibroids, today is 29th am seeing blood again, could something be wrong? Thank you
Hi Khilaq,
If you are pregnant and having bleeding, make an appointment with your doctor ASAP to get checked out. Bleeding during pregnancy is not something that should be occurring on a regular basis.

Hi I got my periods on Jan 16th to Jan 19th.It was brown color.Again I got my periods on Jan 28th.I am taking birth control pills for more than 5 months.This is my first time I am getting likethat.Is that normal?
Hi Jasmine,
It could be that your body is adjusting to the birth control. For some their period lightens and eventually stops. If you are concerned however I would record your periods and then have a discussion with your doctor. Also take into account however that stress, weight loss and weight gain, or medications can be the cause of a change in the cycle as well.
Hi my name is Shaune, I’m 43 years old and I had my tubes tied since 2005. Well I’m experience my period on Dec 2,2017 it was light but lasted for 5 days like a regular period, than it came on again Dec 29,2017. Well it haven’t came back on yet and it is January 29,2018. What might can be wrong with me.
Hi Shaune,
Considering your age (not that you are old at all), you could be getting closer to menopause which means that your cycle will inevitably change and eventually stop. That being said however I would consider a pregnancy test about a week after your anticipated start date of your period.
