Third period in 8 weeks - what is going on?

Hi, just wondering if anyone could offer me any advice. I had my first child 16 months ago and breastfed for 10 months. Once dd was no longer waking in the night for a feed my periods returned and seemed to be on a similar cycle to before I was pregnant. Then a few months ago I went back on the Pill. After 3 months I changed my mind and stopped taking it. That was just under 8 weeks ago and I have just started my third period in that time. Thats not even 3 weeks between them. Is this normal for coming off the Pill or could something else be going on? Has anyone else experienced this and should I make an appointment with my gp? Thanks

That happened to me when I stopped taking the pill, but then my cycle went back to normal. If your cycle doesn't go back to normal now, then do see your gp, or see your gp anyway as you're worrying about it.
