Once a year?: A woman with cycles shorter than 29 days (shorter than 1 month) will likely have 1 ovulation per month during the year, but have 2 ovulations during one month of the year (since she has about 13 cycles a year).

Intermenstrual bleed: One of the two bleedings is not menstrual ; it is abnormal which can be due to hormonal disturbance, other endometrial disease or spontaneous abortion (miscarriage). Your recent clinical history may help sort things out for you..otherwise, get a Gyn exam
