It sounds pretty normal.  Just keep track and if it doesn't get better go to the doctor.\n\nThe normal menstrual cycle in humans\nWomen show considerable variation in the lengths of their menstrual cycles, and the length of the menstrual cycle differs in different animals (see below).\n\nWhile cycle length may vary, 28 days is generally taken as representative of the average ovulatory cycle in women. Convention uses the onset of menstrual bleeding to mark the beginning of the cycle, so the first day of bleeding is called "Cycle Day one".

No darling:) Don't worry, ususally the menstral cycles doesn't become stable(as far as length between and days on) until you are in your twenties, or after your first child. your body is still growing and developing and getting used to the rush or new hormones. Many things can effect your monthly cycle.For example, your body fat percentage. If you very athletic, thin, with very low body fat you will always have a shorter more irregular period. Also if you have another feamle in your household, for some reason unknown to science. Women that live together will eventually have their menstral cycles together. Don't worry , unless you have severe cramping or bleeding,colored discharge(white or yellow), or foul odor. These are all reasons to contact your school nurse,doctor, or your parents. G'luck and be safe

Yes, it is normal, that is the usual lenght of time blood comes out. And it's fine if you have a really heavy flow it evens out later on with time. Every period has it's own pattern so don't stress yourself out so much. If you want more info check with your doctor do not be embarassed they know more about this than anyone else in the world. Also don't be afraid to speak with an aunt or a femal cousin or your mom about it usually girls need support from a feminie figure to help them through the confusion.\n\nJust some facts about your period:\ngo to yahoohealth and research menstration cycle as well as puberty.

I agree with Heather, you should see your doctor.  I had a female friend who had "irregular" periods where she wouldn't have a period for months at a time, but when her period came it was just a normal 1 week thing.  The irregularity may be normal, but the 3 weeks of menstruation is what I would check about.

your period can be irregular for a while when you first start getting it i got mine when i was 11 but it wasn't completely regular until i was almost 15 even now,at 17, i'm going on birthcontrol to help regulate it more b/c i have a short cycle (come almost a week early every time) diet and exercise can have an effect on it too. Talk to you docter about it next time you go in but know that it is perfectly normal

Okay, I'll bite.\n\nNo, it doesn't all come out at once, and it's not a steady stream either.  It's more like spurts.  Some days are heavy, some days are not.  You usually have a heavier flow during the first few days of menstruation, then it kind of tapers off.

Hey im 12 and got my period at your age. Wear a pad. Thats what im wearing now, Don't worry. I knew about this WAAAAY before you but we learn at diffrent ages. don't be afraid to ask your mother or another female. Even a dad or uncle is ok too. I don't get alot of cramps but I usually sleep for awhile. I have PMS thats pre menstral syndrome. That means im irritated and have symptoms earlier. Don't wear tampons at your age either. Stick with pads unless your parents say somthing. In school try to be the same as usual. You also might bloat. If period symptoms get in the way get some midol. (sp?) Also when wearing a pad try to stay away from swimming or somthing like that. For sleeping use overnight pads. If you don't have any use a normal pad and put a dark towel under you. Stay away from light clothing. If it gets stained it'll be seen like white on black. During your period wear red,dark blue,black etc. So if its stained its hard to notice. If you ever see a red stain on your pants then welcome to the woman race. Also if you have vaginal discharge (White creamy stuff) on that 'area' Then its close to coming. Be prepared. Trust me I found out I had mine because I wore a white nightgown to bed that night. I didn't know it was there until my mom literally yelled it to me infront of my brother. So if you get yours tell her. Don't make her have to shout it like its the fourth of July.  You may also get some other hormones around this time like starting to like boys. You don't have to wonder 'What the heck? I like a boy!' like I did. But don't let it get outta hand. All a period is is when an egg dies inside you. It bleeds and thats what causes a period. It isn't just blood. It can be tiny little clots of it too. This is normal to have. A period should last from 3 to 10  days. You should only get it once a month. Light or heavy be prepared. For light periods get To-Go pads instead of using a big pad. For heavy ones get thick pads. for inbetween use normal. Try to relax during a period too. Don't overdo it either. If you do you get irritated and snap at people and don't mean to. I did this alot and got into trouble. Save yourself a lecture and don't overdo it and relax. Bring a small bag to school in your backpack or somthing and put in extra underwear and pads or tampons if thats what your parents want you to use. You'll thank yourself if you do that so you don't make it public cause somtimes people are busybodies and try to see what you're doing. Do this if you are embarrased about asking for a pad at school from your male/female teacher. But don't be they do this all the time.\n\n\nIf you wanna talk email me at:\n\nsatinfairy@bellsouth.net\n\nOR use IM\n\nYIM\nqueen_zelda2002@yahoo.com\n\nMSN\nsatinfairy@bellsouth.net\n\nAIM\nsatinfairy

On average, periods last 4 to 6 days. It really depends on the person. Some have really short ones like 2 days and others really long ones like 7 or even 8. If it last for a longer period of time, ask your doctor about it.

Your period will not be consistent for about a year or two, so you shouldn't worry if you have a heavy period, but the definition of a heavy period would probably be changing a tampon every 30 minutes and it is a Super.  That is heavy, but heavy is really anything that you are not used to and you need to give it some time before you know that info.  You will know when to change your tampon when you wipe and see a little red on the TP, or at least this is how I did it, but don't leave the same tampon in for too long as you can get bacterial infections because the bacteria will adhere to the tampon if it is not soaking up blood.  You will figure it out with experience, and yes, you can sleep with a tampon in, just make sure that during the peak of you period, the 2nd or 3rd day when it is the heaviest, wear a tampon to fit your flow.  I know this all sounds weird, but really, it will come to you.  Oh, I am saying tampons because that it all I wear, but didn't start my period til I was 15 and I was a virgin  and assuming you are too, and it was uncomfortable to wear tampons cause I didn't know my body well enough to figure out how to insert them.  Also, if the hymen is not broken, the tampon might not insert as well or it will hurt.  You can tell when to change your pad and I would do this often as they can create a smell cause they are worn outside of the body.   sorry, It has been a long time since I have had to think about a first period, but I wish you the best.

Most women have periods between 21 and 40 days apart.  You've still got time!  Chill!

Yes this is perfectly normal... when i first got my period it lasted about a week and a half, then i got it again about 3 weeks later. Your period will be irregular to begin with until your body gets used to the change. Once this happens you will only get it roughly once a month and most periods only last for about 3-7 days depending on the individual.\n\nIf further down the track your periods continue to be irregular you might want to consider the pill (contraceptive). The pill will make your period regular and will stop you from bleeding for as long. The bonus out of this also is that you can tell exactly when you'll get your next period and the pill also gives you the option to skip periods which is actually good for girls (only if you skip it once in a blue moon, so like say every 3-4 months).\n\nHope this info helped, if you have any further questions consult your doctor as they are the best people to get this kind of info from. Good Luck Hun : )

i always get a facial during that time...your face is already breaking out and it helps control oil. I've got very sensitive skin and it never makes it worse when i have a facial during my period.

This is actually a very good question and you have nothing to be sorry about as far as asking it. Periods differ from person to person, I have some good periods and some bad, bottom line is you learn what is best for you as far as how horrible they are, for me I cannot wear tampons I find they make my cramps much worse so I wear pads.
