    Question

    I got my period 17 days after the one before, is this normal?

    Answer

    Nope - too soon. Print a calendar and keep track of when you bleed for a month or two and then go see your doctor with the calendar. She will run some tests to check hormones, etc. and then discuss options for slowing down your cycles. Eat well, rest and take your vitamins so you do not get anemic.
