By the way, you didn't say when your previous cycle started, just that it ended after Thanksgiving. And when did your next cycle start? Cycles are always counted from the first day of your period till the first day of your next period.

Oh OK, then that's actually pretty common. A regular cycle (although this varies quite a bit from person to person) is about 28 days, and since most calendar months are 30-31 days, you will generally have your period again before the full month is up. Some women have even shorter cycles, which makes it even more apparent. As for your initial question, yes, a woman with two periods within one calendar month can definitely still conceive. However, if the cycles are very short, you might want to check with your doctor to make sure your hormone levels are OK. Hope that helps...

Well the cycle stopped right after Thanksgiving and this is the second cycle that has started since then in less than a month :-(

not sure if this is what you mean but some women and some bleeding midcycle which isn't a true AF I think you can bleed some when you ovulate...i thought i saw that in a fertility book i read.

Do you mean that your circle is short say 24 days, that there is a month you are likely to have periods beginning and end of the month?
Actually my Gyno told me the shorter the circle, the many chances you have to conceive.
