I ve always had irregular periods and I ve been diagnosed with menorrhagia, but they ve always been once a month (lasting 10-14 days) or even less. Since February, however, I ve had my period six times, each lasting 5-7 days. The start dates of each period have been: Feb 9, Feb 17, Mar 2, March 12, Apr 3, and now Apr 13. I only get a few days break between each cycle and I also experience a sharp pain in the left side of my pelvis. The pain isn t debilitating, and at times it goes away completely, but it is still very noticeable and uncomfortable.
