Period Twice In A Month: Is It Normal?

52965

Dear BeingGirl Experts,

I have a question. Is it normal to have your period twice in a month?

Lilla

---

Dear Lilla,

This is completely normal. Your cycle is measured from the first day of your current period to the first day of your next period. The average length of a cycle is 28 days, but it may be as short as 21 days or as long as 35 days and still be normal. When your cycle is as short as 21 days, then it isn't uncommon to have more than one period in a month. Most females have 13 periods in a year which means one month you will have 2 periods.

Hope this helps,

Your BeingGirl Experts

hi dr90, I would only consult my doctor if the bleeding was really heavy that means there could be an infection or a hormone imbalance. I wouldnt sweat it otherwise because every girl is different and period cycles can be very short!

@Bieber_Lover29277 Your period is a drip, not a constant flow. I had a period that went for a few days, stopped for a few, and came back. Just wear pantyliners for a few day afterward and carry some extra pads and tampons with you just in case.
