Why am I having a period less than two weeks after the last one?

Any ideas? This hasn't happened to me before. I had a backache for a few days last week (happens quite often in the week pre-period) and have just started to bleed. Apart from the fact that I only had my last period less than two weeks ago, I'm also surprised because it wasn't preceded by PMT. I always get PMT - some months are worse than others, although the PMT I had a few weeks ago (before the period that started on the 8th) was monumental. It all seems odd.
Any ideas?

Sorry for making you sob Otter and yes I am on the ante-natal board (due in June) and no you haven't offended me at all, I'm not a delicate flower

Loon I think I'll give it a few days to sink in (and to be sure - because of course now I've searched "false BFP" so it might be false, or a very early mc or something). Then I'll come and join you.
I am actually thinking about waiting a few days to tell dp until I've seen the doc, just in case. He'll get over it I'm sure but it'l be a shock I reckon. No point freaking him out about nothing.
Oh and it was a good sob, despite all my worries

Oh my goodness Otter, I was doing some research as I am going through the same exact thing myself with the period thing. By the way Congratulations. May I ask how long it lasted for you, as this is not normal for me at all and I'm only 32 years old so don't believe it's the premenopausal. Thanks.

I often get two periods a month but I am only 32 so I hope I am not peri menopausal

Hello, I'm not sure if I'm in the right place here but I thought I'd try anyway. I'm 22 years old and have been on the contraceptive implant for years. My implant is due to end in July. I had my period a week ago and now I'm getting a light brown slightly pink discharge and really light cramping. Is this my period again? Also I have been really emotional this week and feeling light headed. As I suffer with anxiety this is situation is worrying me, I have never experienced this spotting before. Can anyone help me? confused

Hello everyone
This is my first time on here. I am a bit confused but maybe someone could shed some light on to my situation. So me and my partner have spoken about having a baby but with the attitude if it happens it happens and not to pin all our hopes on it.

I did a test about 2 weeks ago and we thought we could see a faint line. Anyway later that evening I started to bleed. We then didn't think anymore of the situation and went on with our day to day lives.

This is where I now get confused it's been roughly 2 weeks give or take and I have started to spot again. At first it was brown ish with a discharge texture and now it's turned bloody.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be? My friend mentioned about a possible chemical pregnancy? Never heard of it till then.

Anyway if anyone can help shed some light on this I would be grateful
Thank you xx

Hiiii , my first time being up here but ummm I got my period June 10th and it lasted for 5 days , I had an uti while I was on my period and I got cleared of my uti that Sunday. June 19th I was fertile and had unprotected sex with my boyfriend and June 22nd I started light bleeding , my ovulation is to June 23rd(today) but my bleeding went from light to a lil heavy , I have no cramps or pain but when I do it’s either in my upper left thigh or it’s behind my thigh and it’s sharp but not sharp enough to hurt , my nipples are sore and they have been sore since Monday , I have headaches everyday , but I think it’s because of the heat , I have on a pad , been wearing it for about 30 mins now , but it’s only a spot on my pad with blood , can somebody help me figure out what this is. Like am I started my period again or is it something more serious???
