So I was spotting Nov. 14 and not the day after, and than I spotted a day later. Now, Thursday I got my period and it seems normal. I've never had that spotting stuff before or had two periods in one month. I'm not on birth control either. What would cause that to happen?

Periods that are too frequent (more often than every 28 days also called "metrorrhagia") can be related to several predisposing factors:
If the periods are otherwise normal, then a short "luteal phase" or insufficient ovarian production of progesterone may be responsible.
If the periods are inconsistent, then failure to ovulate and the resulting anovulatory bleeding may be responsible.
If the periods are actually normal and once a month, but there are episodes of bleeding in between the periods, then mechanical factors such as fibroids or polyps may be responsible.
Women with hyperthyroidism are classically described as experiencing frequent, heavy periods. They, in reality, rarely show that pattern, but we usually screen these patients for thyroid disease anyway.
I've experienced 2 periods in one month before too in the past that was caused by ovarian cysts.
There could be other causes for the frequent periods you are experiencing and I would recommend you see your doctor/gyno for further evaluation to see what they think could be causing this.
Good luck :)

If this is your first year of having periods they will be crazy like that. Sometimes they come every month and sometimes they skip a month or two. If you had sex and was due for your period that could happen. Stress will do that to you too. It's not really 2 periods it is just a little mixed up and may never happen again. I wouldn't worry about it.

It's just due to the change of hormones. If the blood is more in you before your periods, many a times there are two periods in a month. It indicates that you are really very rich in haemoglobin. And the hormones change rapidly in growing childrens. May be it is because of it.

You didn't say how old you are but two possiblities are that you recently started having your period and haven't settled into a routine yet or you're an older woman who is in the early stages of menopause.

Dear you must go for a harmonal test, preferabley a Thayroid test. Harmonal disbalance is the main reason for getting irregular or frequent periods. must take care of your diet. wre you on any medicen in the past few days,this can also cause this problem. take care.

If you are young, expect your period to be irregular like this.
It sounds like around the 14th, you were ovulating. Some women spot during this. Or, if you were having sex, you could have implanted and then miscarried.
