Periods every two weeks

For the last two periods I've had, they've been two weeks apart. Any ideas anyone? They're normally regular.

Is it a full period every time? If it's extremely light it could be ovulation spotting. Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler is worth a read.

Yes, full period every time. Well, normally the first two days of my period are heavy and the next five days are medium- with the last two it has been medium the whole time.

I suddenly started having periods every 2 weeks when I was 19. Saw a doctor and they put it down to mild pcos (but thought the cause was mostly stress). They put me on the pill.

Re the PCOS diagnosis; my bmi is around 21, I do have mild acne but other then that no other pcos indicators besides a few small cysts.

I had this after I stopped BF and my body was trying to return to normal...
