It's normal, you idiot.  She should be asking that, not you.

Sounds like you might be starting Peri-menopause especially with the change in your periods.  So long it is not a continuous heavy flow all 14 days I would just monitor things but you may want to call the docs office and let the nurse know that this is going on just in case he feels he wants to see you sooner than next week.

Every woman is different. Some can stop it early. Not to early. Mine only last for 2 or 3 days.

how long has it been going on, like how many days?\n\nsounds normal to me, everyone has this type of discharge after your period every once in a while, especially if you are not regular or this menstrual period was lighter or heavier than normal. this should last for a week, maybe a week and a half, even 2 weeks sometimes after a period.\n\nif it has been going on longer and you are having pains, it could be something you have to see your gynocologist about

How old are you? If you are not old enough to be in perio-menopause or menopause, then you should not have that long of a cycle. I think you are having a hormone imbalance and might want to go get a blood test to find out which one is lacking.\n\nThere is a broad range of "normal" among menstruating women. Unpredictable or long menstrual cycles are normal for teenagers and women in their 40s. If you are a teen, you can expect cycles to even out with time. If you are nearing the age of menopause, you can expect menstrual cycles to become longer and eventually to stop. If you are not a teen or older than 40 and your cycles are shorter or longer than 21 to 35 days, there is a chance that you have an underlying problem. \n\nAny big change in your menstrual pattern or amount of bleeding that affects your daily life requires a medical check by a health professional. This includes menstrual bleeding for three or more menstrual cycles that:\n\nLasts longer than 7 days.\nIs very heavy. If you are passing large clots or soaking a large pad per hour for 8 hours, your bleeding is considered heavy.\nOther symptoms you should have checked include:\n\nBleeding between menstrual periods. \nPelvic pain that is not linked to menstrual bleeding and lasts longer than a day.

DEPENDS ON WHAT TIME OF THE MONTH IT OCCURS......IF IT'S AROUND THE MIDDLE, IT COULD BE PRE-OVULATORY SPOTTING....COMPLETELY NORMAL...............THAT'S ABOUT THE TIME FRAME IT LASTS TOO........

That's normal after sex as well as menstration.  If she worried about being pregnant get an over the counter pregnancy test.  Doesn't water it only takes ONCE to get pregnant especially with unprotected sex. \n\nI would also suggest she sees the ob/gyn or her primary care if it contines.

Three to Seven days.\n\nANY time you go over 7-9 days you NEED to talk to your OB/GYN. At that point things just MIGHT be going wrong.\n\nYou might try reading this:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menstruation#Duration

Irregular Cycles: Metrorrhagia \nOne of the most common gynecological problems is an irregular menstrual cycle. But before you jump to the conclusion that you're irregular, it's important to remember that being regular doesn't mean your cycle is the same number of days each time. One month your cycle may be twenty-nine days, and the next month it may be thirty-one days. This is still considered the norm. It's also normal to be lighter one month and heavier the next. So long as you're menstruating every twenty to forty days, it's a sign that you're ovulating. Another common misperception about irregular cycles is the belief that unless you have a period every four weeks (again, the statistical average) you're irregular. This is not true. Some women menstruate every three weeks, which is normal for them; some menstruate every five weeks, which is normal for them. The only time you should be concerned is if your period consistently yo-yos: three weeks, then four weeks, then five weeks, then three weeks, and so on. When this happens, it's usually a sign that you're not ovulating regularly. This is common in young girls after they first begin menstruating. If your period only jumps around once or twice a year, there isn't anything to worry about. Occasional stress is usually the culprit when this happens.

I've read a few articles and they say 2-3 times a week is about normal.  It depends on your busy schedules as well.  A lot of couples are lucky to get 1 in a week.

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

you are getting unnecessarily worried because 2-5 days variation in the periods is not important. cycle is considered normal when periods take place between 21-35 days and last for 3-5 days. If you are not having any Other medical problem and not taking any drug, there is nothing to worry.

It is very normal. your period will not be consistant until you mid to late 20's. It takes your body time to get used to the fact that it is able to reproduce. It is so normal. Every womans periods are screwed up for the first 5-10 years that they have it. It's alright don't worry about it sweetie
