Wierd cycles on does

Have a question for all you experienced breeders out there. I've bred just a handful of does in the past couple years and never had this happen. I've had 2 Nigerian Dwarf does I've bred this year, stand very willingly for the buck, get bred (we hand breed and keep a close eye on the whole deal), then to come into heat 5 days later again and stand again for the buck. The first doe was this summer, will be a 3rd freshener, and she is definately bred and is due in 3.5 weeks, the second doe I just bred again yesterday, also a 3rd freshener. two comepletely different bucks, 1st was an experienced adult, second a virgin buckling. My other does haven't done this ever. ?????
