womans question..what could be causing a 2 week cycle?

Periods that are too frequent (more often than every 28 days also called "metrorrhagia") can be related to several predisposing factors:

* If the periods are otherwise normal, then a short "luteal phase" or insufficient ovarian production of progesterone may be responsible.

* If the periods are inconsistent, then failure to ovulate and the resulting anovulatory bleeding may be responsible.

* If the periods are actually normal and once a month, but there are episodes of bleeding in between the periods, then mechanical factors such as fibroids or polyps may be responsible.

* Women with hyperthyroidism are classically described as experiencing frequent, heavy periods. They, in reality, rarely show that pattern, but we usually screen these patients for thyroid disease anyway.

I've experienced frequent periods too in the past that was caused by ovarian cysts.

There could be other causes for the frequent periods you are experiencing and I would recommend you see your doctor/gyno for further evaluation to see what they think could be causing this.

Good luck :)

If you have lost a lot of weight recently or changed your food habbits that could cause you to be on your period. Also, if you have been extremely stressed out lately it could cause you to be on your period for a long time. But if none of these have happened and your really woried about it then go to the doctor and get it checked out!

You must see a physician as quickly as feasible, having no interval for five months and not using a being pregnant isn't traditional, nor is recognizing for two weeks its too lengthy even though this was once a interval
