Stress, usage of birth control pills, PCOS , are few reasons for menstrual disturbances. Imbalances in the hormonal secretion may result in period disorders as well. The primary hormones contributing to having a period three times a month include female sex hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). Other than these, higher testosterone levels can also result in period 3 times in one month. Furthermore, anomalies in Thyroid levels may result in irregular periods as well.

I took an i-pill, and now I'm having bleeding on the 15th day after taking it. Is that normal, or should I be concerned about what it means?

Bleeding after taking an I-Pill is a common side effect and usually indicates that the pill has been effective in preventing pregnancy. In your case, experiencing bleeding on the 15th day after taking the I-Pill suggests that it has likely done its job.
