Go to the doctor and get checked up. No one can diagnose you on the internet. All they can tell you is yes, it -could- be this, or it -could- be that. It -could- be pregnancy, or SLD (whatever that is), or cancer, or hormonal. A visit to a doctor will let you know what it is, exactly.

This only happened to me once when I was under major stress back in college. Hasn't happened again, but thanks for your concern.

You need to see a doctor, NOW. This could get worse.

One cause, it may not be yours, is anemia. The blood just doesn't clot enough to line the uterus and then you have a flow. This can quickly get worse as you lose more and more blood. If this is the problem, your doctor will prescribe something to increase the clotting ability of your blood.

Think of it this way......if you had a cut on your leg, and it bled on and off for a while, would you think it normal? Or would you have a doctor look for a cause?

Irregular periods are a usual thing for a lot of women. There is no problem with just being irregular. The problem comes when the periods get shorter and last with big flows. Every four or six weeks could be "normal" but every two weeks or 10 days may be a sign of problems.

I have this problem, but am going through pre-meno... go to your doctor! Unusual bleeding should be checked.

Are you overweight? If so, and have insulin resistance, it could be PCOS, but that is something that only a doc can dx. Anything I can think of that it could be can only be dx'ed by a doc.

How old are you? How many days is it normally from the first day of one period to the first day of the next for you? Are you using any hormonal contraception?

If this is just the first cycle you have had that is shorter than usual, all you need to do is keep a calendar of your periods for the next 3 to 4 cycles: when they start, when they finish, how heavy they are, any cramps.

If the periods continue to be less than 21 days from beginning to beginning you should see a gynecologist.

If there is a possibility of pregnancy, a test would be in order. Bleeding during pregnancy is not uncommon.

I would go to the OBGYN ASAP for a check-up and have it looked at, really ... Also, if you get your period more than every 20-28 days, be careful you don't experience fatigue or any weakness- you may need extra iron in your diet ... I take, "Slow-Fe". It's an over-the-counter, one a day.

If you don't have insurance, Planned Parenthoods are excellent.
