menstration~second monthly periods

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know what would cause someone under age 30 to begin having 2

periods monthly? Say...every 14 days instead of 28? Have been trying to

put this into a concise " search pattern " on Internet, and can find

nothing so far. Don't know exactly how to " word it " , as to what I am

looking for.

Anyone out there who can help me find info?

I did this prior to the arthritis, and Fibromyalgia... and bless pat, my

younger daughter is now starting this " pattern " . I actually went into

menopause within 2 years of starting that pattern. " Early Menopause "

that is. I know that some researchers are pointing to " early menopause "

as actually being " auto immune " related. But not much info on that topic

either.

But back to original question... What is some of the problems that would

cause 2 periods a month? And what would the " name " of this be called?

Hi Susie,

I had this prob a while back, but it was due to birth control pills. I went

through almost every different type just to find out that I couldn't take

them without this side effect. Sorry I couldn't help more. I know this is

an extremely frustrating problem and I can sympathize with you and your

daughter. One period a month is more than enough for any woman in my

opinion. Hope you find some answers soon. Have you talked to your gyne

about this? What does he/she say? Watch out for anemia too.

Love and Hugs,
