A doctor has provided 1 answer

Frequent "periods" ?: Bleeding "every other week" does not represent actual post ovulatory menses, but may be caused by other factors not related, including polyps, breakdown of endometrial lining, pregnancy outside the uterus (ectopic). Obtain a serum HCG test and if positive, see your gyn provider asap for an exam and other testing, as ectopic pregnancy needs immediate attention.
