Strange Coincidence?

[zoziw]

My wife and I have decided to have one more kid before we get too old, she is 35 right now.

So we hauled out the calendar and marked the dates of when we should be trying. These dates are, of course, based on the end of her last period.

We usually try every 2 days starting around the 9th day after her last period. However, something very strange happened. We started on the 9th day and on the 11th day she had another period.

While she sometimes varies by a couple of days she has never had this happen before. She wouldn't go to the doctor.

At any rate, it passed and she is find.

Any ideas on what would cause this?

How long did it last? Was it just like a normal period? Shorter? Lighter? Was the one before the 9th lighter or shorter? Anything unusual or strange about either of them? out of the ordinary?

I've heard of women having 2 periods in one month, it happens occasionally. If it were me and they were both full length periods.. I'd probably see a doctor, just to be safe. But I do think it's ok, rare, but probably not a problem. One time I had a period that lasted like 2 days.. a lot less than usual then a week later had another one. I was told it was normal.. but I was a lot younger when that happened.

It was typical in pretty much every way. Nothing unusual except the timing.

it's just my opinion, but I'd go to the doctor. I pray that everything is ok and it's just a fluke to have a 2nd one in the same month.

It could be the beginning of menopause, possibly. My mother started going through it at 27, which I know is really early, but they wouldn't diagnose it until she hit 35. She had the same problem though - she would get two periods in a month, then they'd be regular for a couple of months, then two in a month again. I'd suggest checking with her doctor, just in case there's something else going on

I second the advice about getting checked for early menopause. I'm 37 and am already starting to go through "the change". Other things can cause bleeding, so getting things checked is always a good idea.

Has she changed anything in her diet or exercise? My period got very wacky when I went on a low-cal diet and stenuous exercise (I don't recommend it).

I have 2 friends who had this happen and in both cases it was a sign of endiometriosis (sp) - so please get her to the doctor! It will be good for your peace of mind anyway.

While some women have very regular periods, many things can throw them off, stress, getting sick, change in diet etc etc. My periods are pretty regular but I have about 2-3 off periods a year while the rest are exactly 30 days a part. Or well I did.
