well i've tried googling it and not having much luck so thought id ask my very helpful oh babiers as im a bit concerned . I have just had my period for the 4th time in just 5weeks!!!! Im not on the depo and havent been for about 3 years ( i know this can cause irregualr periods) , i am on the noriday mini pill and since having DD 15months ago my periods havent really been that regualr, i brestfed for just under one year but its been about 3months since i completly stopped . iv skipped periods alot in the last 15months and gone upto 3 months without one but i have never had multiple periods in a month and 4 is a bit ridiculous. does anyone have any idea what it could be ???? i really dont want to go to the dr and spend $50 if i can help it but im thinking i might just have to because im starting to feel quite tired and weak after having 4 in just over a month. any suggestions of what it may be would be fantastic  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

How awful for you!! I think you should see the Dr... I had lots of unexplained bleeding not long before getting pregnant which was in the end put down to a hormonal imbalance - it could be something like that... but really best to be checked out IMO... and I got a bit anemic too so maybe you need to get ya iron level tested as well... ------------- mum to 3 lovely girls :D |

How long is the bleeding lasting each time? (how much bleeding do you think there is etc - I guess I'm asking is it a real period or intimittent bleeding or similar? When I first went on the pill as a teenager I had a whole month of bleeding as the hormone levels weren't right for my body)
And... have you done a pregnancy test? (you don't have to answer either of those on here, just something else to think about, things that you will get asked by a GP) I would personally pay the money to see a GP, you may have something going on that is not normal, maybe even requiring blood tests etc. (((hugs)))) as it can't be nice. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

the first and second time was a normal 5ish day period , the last 2 have been about 3days so a bit more than just spotting . i havent had a pregnancy test but have been taking the pill like clockwork and i definatly dont "feel" pregnant . think it possibly could just be a homronal thing , i have been on norriday for a while . i was on it prior to having DD and then started again on it 4months after having DD .... so coming up a year. Yea think i am just going to have to go to my GP and might take some iron supplements too . Thanks ladies ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I took Noriday after Hannah.
I had quite a few periods over the space of a couple of months not long after starting it. Lots of breakthrough bleeding, spotting and some clotty stuff. It took about 3 months for it all to settle and things to go back to normal -------------

How about going to Family Planning? Surely this would be within their scope of expertise? ------------- |

Oh man that sucks  I had 11 periods over 4months but was while I was still BFing, and once I stopped BFing that stopped too... Could it be the minipill causing it? I know when I was on the minipill (not noriday - was years before having kids) I had bleeding on and off the whole time I was on it. Hope your GP can give you some answers!! Can you go on the combined pill now that you're not BFing? ------------- DD 4yrs DS 2yrs http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

yea family planning are awesome. they may be able to check a few things and they can often give you something to help even things out again. when i first got the implant i got random bleeding all the time. its still happening but to a lesser extent. hope you get some answers soon -------------

| I had a similar thing on noriday. I agree go to family planning, its a lot cheaper than the GP! |

I had that happen to me when I came off the pill but if you are on the pill I have no idea why your body is doing that. I would suggest going to the dr ------------- http://lilyslim.com">  http://lilypie.com">
