A member asked:

What can cause a period to fully stop after 2 days, then start right back up a day later?

Dr. Ron Eaker answered

Variation: Much of it occurs based on normal variations of how the blood is expelled. Doing it in the manner you describe is common and doesn't mean there is a problem.

My period is super heavy for 2-4 days, stops for 24 hrs, comes back moderate & tapers off, stopping 2-4 days later. I took BCP age 21-37 & was irregular for 18-24 mths before this pattern settled. I'm 41, no other symptoms. Reason for concern or ok?
