Today, exactly 28 days after I started my last period, I started a new period. This would be perfectly healthy and normal except that my last period was 24 days long. This has happened every month this year. FML

I've had even enough
Today, I started my period. Unfortunately, my last period only ended six days ago. PCOS sucks. FML

The body keeps the score
Today, I started my period, complete with cramps, diarrhoea, a headache, bloating, and aching legs. Apparently my body didn't get the message that I had a total hysterectomy a month ago, including my ovaries, tubes and cervix. FML

NOT NOW!
Today, after I went in for surgery, I came out of extremely anemic from blood loss. As soon as I got home, I started my period. FML

Today, I’m currently battling a cold that caused me to call into work yesterday and, as of this morning, I’ve also started my period and have the most painful cramps ever. Good thing I have the day off from work. FML

Today, I have a UTI that spread to my kidneys, a yeast infection, and a herpes outbreak. Oh, and my period came this morning. FML

Today, I’ve finished all my cancer treatments but my body is putting me through the wringer again. I got my first period after not having one for nearly a year, and with it has come all sorts of hormonal issues including cramping, mood swings, hot flashes, and heinous BO! It’s worse than puberty!

I'm gonna be honest. drs don't know all that much when it comes to women and their periods. they usually offer personal experience advice, say "that's normal", or go "I dunno." I'd wait it out if you started or got off of BC recently. Hormones could be all over the place. if after 3 months or if you become anemic I'd go to the Dr. and ask for some help. otherwise you're paying someone to not fix your problem.

I strongly disagree that doctors don't know anything about menstruation. Something similar happened to my Aunt and she ended up having ovarian cancer. It's better to be safe then sorry!

Yeah, it's not like they're medical professionals or anything.

ONGYN's know all about a woman's reproductive health. That means knowing about a woman's menstrual cycle and problems associated with it. An OBGYN will certainly not say that a 17 day cycle is normal. Or that starting again in 3 days after said 17 day period ended is normal.

first. I did not say they know nothing. obvs. they know something or they wouldn't have a job. second. they WILL say it is normal IF it has something to do with starting or stopping BC (which is what I was basing my post on) obvs if it happens randomly it isn't normal and can be a serious sign. the reason they say it is normal is because THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW AN INDIVIDUALS HORMONES ARE GOING TO REACT. Not yelling btw just a bold statement. So no it isn't normal if it happens for no reason but if it's in relation to BC (which again is what I was referring to)

Like everyone else has said, you need to go to a doctor. Find one that will test you for PCOS (Polysistic Ovarian Syndrome) and a full androgen test.

Periods that long could indicate something's not right, OP. Get to a doctor as soon as possible.
