I'm Having 2 Periods A Month, This Month It Still Hasn't Stopped. Help!

It started 4 months ago, it was my normal 5 day period with all my normal mood swings, cramps, etc; then 10 days later, I start spotting.

My best friend in school had 2 also, she found out she had endometriosis. I’d have doctors check you for that, as endometriosis and PCOS are closely related.

I am sad to say that I understand this problem. I have been bleeding every day since December 8, 2022. From my experience, it is important to talk to your doctors about it and push for tests. I recently got a hysteroscopy and found out that my PCOS caused growths of polyps and fibriods. The cause could be different for you, but always worth talking to a doc and checking on the abnormal bleeding. I will also note that my bleeding has gone so long that Ive become anemic and passed out/broke my leg recently. I highly recommend asking your doctor about taking iron supplements if the bleeding continues to avoid any issues. But I am not a medical professional, so ultimately defer to doctors.
