Is it normal for a menstrual cycle to come twice in a month?

Yes. The menstrual cycle is a 28 day cycle rather than a month long one. In fact, it's the time between your periods is usually 28-(no. of days of your period) so you may well have overlap in a certain month.

your period can be irregular for a while when you first start getting it i got mine when i was 11 but it wasn't completely regular until i was almost 15 even now,at 17, i'm going on birthcontrol to help regulate it more b/c i have a short cycle (come almost a week early every time) diet and exercise can have an effect on it too. Talk to you docter about it next time you go in but know that it is perfectly normal

It is not uncommon to have irregular periods. You might want to consider going on birth control to help.

it happens to many women. sometimes we have irregular months, caused by bad nutrition, stress, or maybe even nothing.\nif it bleeds for a couple days, you are fine. if it lasts longer, or if it keeps happening, then that could be bad.\n\ni would say just relax and enjoy your thanksgiving, it's really nothing :)

I too used to have a "normal cycle". it went from 28 days to 21 days to every 20 days and lasted for 8-10 days. I was at the gyn every two weeks. i finally started hormonal treatment (nuvaring) two months ago. 1st month was awful-bleeding everyday, 2nd month looks promising. The only possibly explanation that made sense to me was that my eggs were dropping more frequently. It is still not 100%. Go to the gyn and dont let them dismiss your concerns.

i also have the exact same symptoms. the doc said it is normal and that your period also gets heavier as you get older and have more babies and your uterus sheds. but not 2 heavy periods per month.

Most women have periods between 21 and 40 days apart.  You've still got time!  Chill!

Your period doesn't follow the calendar, where the months are 30 or 31 days long.  An "average" cycle ranges from 26-32 days or so.  Yours apparently is 27 days and that's totally normal.  That means that every so often it'll fall early enough in the calendar month that the next one will also be in the same calendar month.

it's not really "normal" but you're still probably ok because some people periods don't exactly fit the textbook description. try to go to the doctor and tell them about your period. it may have something to do with your hormones and they can probably regulate you periods better with birth control.\ngood luck

sometimes cycles are not 'by the book' and a little variation is nothing to worry about. this has happened to me b4. it can also happen to younger women

I have found that this question of yours is NOT that unusual. When the menses begin...and each of them in your life is 'Different', there can be a starting of the menstruation cycle itself in a variety of ways. Much of this depends upon your basic health and regularity of your period, and if there is anything that is exacerbating stress, dietary factors, trauma.....these amongst many others can play a vital role in your period. The older blood is just that, and when the heavier flow comes out it brings with it the rest of this....often seen as brown and nearly grainy. Perhaps the thought of this in text is making you queasy and that is NOT my intention. It is NOT unusual for the body to start up....spot a day or two before hand and then begin the menstrual flow in its regular sequence or shall I say what is regular for you. You know your body better than anyone, and depending upon your age....other factors intervene. Age is one, again diet and exercise. Ask yourself if you're tired before this or perhaps amped ...we are ALL different. If there is a continuation of the more 'brown' or older blood, I recommed that you see a Physician....get a pelvic...for perhaps for whatever reason you might be a candidate for a D&C. Are your menses painful? If only periodically I have found that the comfort at home is warmth. Do not be afraid to soak...that is to bathe. This is hailed often, the menses as a curse, wherein it is nature's way of cleansing your uterus. It is important to at this point to say please keep your regular checkups with your gynocologist and allow your doctor to have a talk with any of your questions. I know that for myself what you have mentioned is in no way unusual. Please understand that you're NOT to keep from your physical regimen...unless you are tired..and please keep up your fluid intake.\nYour doctor will be the one to know and it might serve you well to keep a diary or small calendar in your drawer or medicine cabinet as to the regularity or the sometimes "I didnt quite expect this.." questions...all of this is important. As for a heavier flow, there is still no certainty that there will be a stopping or forestallig of the older blood. Please remember that it's your body and your own inherent body clock or circaddian rhythms dictate a lot of what is to happen to you during this time. I am not your doctor...this is merely my take from past experience and knowing many women who experience the very same thing. for now, I wouldn't worry, were I you, just keep track of this and see if there is any change in tha amount of days and flow. In conclusion, it sounds as though you are healthy, and don't rule "IN" a problem unless advised by your physician. Lastly if pain of any sort accompnies this, please inform your doctor for they can and very often WILL do a pelvic during your period. Should any problem persist, they will ( your doctor's office) refer you to a specialist if there is due cause. In and of all of this there may be the occasional fibroid or cyst. This is whyit is vital that you make and keep your appointments with your doctor.

your period should come every 28 days depending on how many days in the month you could get 2 but not every month or u may need a d&c

I just found out that Canadian scientists have found that a few women ovulate twice a month and others have the biological potential to do so. Hope this helps.

You're probably just young and when you're young you don't have a normal cycle yet. You're body has to adjust and creat it's own timing. It will be irregular until you reach about 18-21. The next time you get it could be 2 months! So don't worry you're fine. :-) I've been there before too

Maybe nothing. It could be stress that's making you have another period. If you have abnormal bleeding or cramping you may want to see a doctor.
