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.

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm kind of in a bind because I can't remember the exact date of my last period. I think it might have been around October 29th, but I'm not sure. I've had sex with my boyfriend, and now I'm worried. Can you suggest a way or a tablet that could help bring on my period quickly?
