Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to our community for some insight on why you had two periods just 18 days apart. This can be because of stress, some types of exercise, or other changes in your life.
At the age of 37, I would think you are too young to be showing early signs of perimenopause.
The menstrual cycle is regulated by a precise balance of hormones. Any upset or imbalance will cause changes.
If this pattern continues, please contact your gynecologist. Having a period less than 21 days apart can lead to blood loss resulting in iron deficiency anemia.
