See dr: You are describing abnormal period bleeding. May need to get on oral contraceptives. See your GP for full history and evaluation. This needs a in person consult for examination and full history.

Time to see MD: It is time to see a GYN MD to resolve the too frequent period mystery so you can avoid anemia over time. (low blood levels.)
