It's normal sweetie.  A woman's period can last up to 3-7 days.  You are fine.

That actually happens to me sometimes. It's normally during my ovulation time or the week before I start my period. I asked my dr about it & she said it's normal. If it gets heavier or lasts over a week, that's when you need to worry & contact your dr.

I too used to have a "normal cycle". it went from 28 days to 21 days to every 20 days and lasted for 8-10 days. I was at the gyn every two weeks. i finally started hormonal treatment (nuvaring) two months ago. 1st month was awful-bleeding everyday, 2nd month looks promising. The only possibly explanation that made sense to me was that my eggs were dropping more frequently. It is still not 100%. Go to the gyn and dont let them dismiss your concerns.

I wouldn't be concerned right away, if that's your only symptom.  If you have extreme pain/cramping, or extreme change in level of flow, go to the doctor.  Otherwise, if it's just the timing of the cycle, watch it for a few months to see if there's a pattern.  Then if you're still concerned, go to a doctor.  That's my advice.  :)\n\nI know my cycle gets a little longer around the holidays due to stress.  Plus, some women just aren't that regular.  If you have a history of differing length of times, it could just be a symptom of that.\n\nDon't worry, not necessarily a tumor.  :)

Yes, it's normal. It's like when you are pregnant you do not get a period for nine months and the blood just builds up inside and finally when you have the kid you have a really heavy period for like three weeks. You can try taking midol. It should help you feel better.

NORMAL\n\nyes this is 100% normal, your periods are probably or probably used to be irregular, and this is normal\n\nnothing to worry about, this is just the way the female body works, and everyone's is different, if you wear tampons, just wear them until everything is clear, no big deal

I am on the pill and my last day is Sunday. I never start my period before Thursday. So I wouldn't be to worried. It has always been that way for me.

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.

It's all thanks to those hormones that cause PMS and all that other fun stuff. It's completely normal, nothing to worry about. Just take it with a grain of salt and deal with it just like you deal with your period. If it bothers you too much, take a pain reliever.

Your period doesn't follow the calendar, where the months are 30 or 31 days long.  An "average" cycle ranges from 26-32 days or so.  Yours apparently is 27 days and that's totally normal.  That means that every so often it'll fall early enough in the calendar month that the next one will also be in the same calendar month.

Bleeding for longer than your normal period is not a good sign. There is something else going on, could possibly be a tumor. Go see a doc as soon as you can.

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".

Mine has been the same, 4, maybe 5 days, and a little heavy for the first day or two, then very light. I've been the same way since I started when I was 9. I'm now 23, so as long as you are staying around the same amount of days in your cycle... i.e... every 28 or 29 days, you are perfectly normal. The cramps usually last a day or so, I normaly get back cramps and my breast hurt a week before I start. The stomach issues were probably just a considence, if it becomes a regular thing, like having the same symptoms for 3 months straight, see a family doctor. Hope that helps.  :-)

No way to measure normalcy in your period.  You didn't say how old you are?  I agree you need to see a doctor.  It's just a pain in the rear to have a 10 day period, ugh.

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.

well hun as above have said...ur period is at intervals of 28 days...normally they come on the (or around) same date each month...to be irregular means the dates get changed and u get them later or earlier than ur normal date.... if this happens its sometimes due to change in diet, stress, weight loss, weight gain, all these reasons are enough to be looked at by ur gp, some women bleed for the normal 5 days or so but as past experiences with myself show...ive had mine for up to 2 weeks, for which i seen gp wisely, and sometimes i dont get mine every month....sometimes twice in a month....is all up to ur own body clock hun and no 2 women ever have same pattern....if u have any concern pls see ur gp and remember we get periods for a reason....never ignore the signs of problems or when it comes time to have children u might have found the problems get worse....the pill or implant can help regulate ur periods so ask ur gp... hope this has helped... tc... : )

My withdrawal bleeds are little more than some brown spotting over two or three days, not even enough to fill a tampon.  I use pantyliners instead.  It's normal.  Your pill is disigned to tell you rbody that it doesn't need to prepare the womb for pregnancy, so it doesn't build up much lining anymore - hence your periods get lighter.
