Hi all,
Sorry if this is too much information but you guys seem a knowledgeable bunch and may have had this issue before...
For the past year or so, I've been having every few months, two periods in one month? I'll have my normal period and then 3 days after it stops, I'll have a shorter 5 day one. I've changed the pill during this time as the practice nurse said that it might help but 4 months after changing the pill and I'm still having strange periods. She also suggested *TMI* that I should be tested to check I didn't have an STD as irregular periods can be a sign of one but the test results came back negative.
I've also mentioned it to the doctor who assured me that it's very common and suggested I was probably stressed with being so busy at university but tbh, I'm on holiday from uni at the moment and I don't feel stressed?!?
I just wondered if any of you had experience of this and if it resolved by itself eventually or whether I'd be best going back to the GP?
Many thanks in anticipation, and sorry it was a bit rambly!
