A member asked:

Am having what appears to be a somewhat heavy period just 16 days after the start of what seemed to be a regular one. have been quite sexually active?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Irregular: I am not sure what your question is. Irregular periods can occur and can be due to hormonal changes, stress, other factors.
