Why am I having two periods in one month?
There are lots of reasons you might be getting more frequent periods. If it is just the one time, it's probably OK to wait it out. Sometimes it can be due to hormonal fluctuations either due to your age or stress. If it continues to be a problem, and especially if your period is very heavy, you should talk to a health care provider (your pediatrician or family doctor, an ob/gyn, or even Planned Parenthood). Besides hormonal reasons, there are other reasons women might get more frequent periods including infections (like sexually transmitted infections), polyps or fibroids, blood problems, or even related to other medications you might be taking.
