DD 14 got her first period 2 weeks ago. It was very heavy and lasted 5 days. Yesterday was two weeks to the day after the first arrived and she has another. Heavy enough though not as bad as the last. Should I worry or do you think this is just because its the beginning? Everything I read about irregular periods covers 21 days cycles or more.

Entirely normal for the first few periods. Don't be surprised if the next one comes 4 months later! It usually takes about a year to settle into a predictable cycle.

Gin that the bleeding might be caused by something else!
All I need is to hear that it's normal and it happens so thanks Purple and Ria
