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.

Sometimes when you are under a lot of stress your period lasts longer. Sometimes that happens to me. Or it could have been a miscarriage you didn't know about.

I actually got my periods when i was 11 and they lasted for 7 days to this day (im now 27).  For the first 3-4 days it was quite heavy and then it became lighter every day after that until it ended roughly on the 7th day.\n\nI did go on the pill for uterus problems a few years ago and it seemed to reduce it down to 3-4 days which helped a fair bit.\n\nAs for whether or not its normal, i asked the same thing of my doctor.  Especially seeing i had endometriosis.  He told me that for every woman it is different and sometimes regardless of uterus health a woman can bleed for 7 days.  My own sister who is perfectly healthy also gets hers for the same amount of time.\n\nAs for your periods not coming on every month, it does mean there could be something to be looked into.  Go to your doctor and get it checked out.  Everything might be fine, or your body could just be getting over the stress of the accident.  Stress can make them become irratic.\n\nHope everything goes well, good luck.

I just had an abdominal myomectomy in Aug for a fibroid that was 1cm in diameter then grew to almost 6cm within two months!  I felt worn out!  I did not have excessive bleeding like most women though.  I didn't have a period at all unless it was induced by hormones since I was trying to get pregnant, then the pain was so excruciating.  I laid on the bathroom floor one night and cried and threw up several times from the pain.  I had horrible bloating as well.  Things have been back to normal since I had the myomectomy though.  Every woman is different.  My mom had several fibroids and she bled constantly, but had no pain with it.  Then my grandmother didn't even notice hers which was the size of a grapefruit when they finally removed it.  It all depends on the woman and the location and size of the fibroid.

Congratulations on getting your period. It usually last up to 7 days. The premenstrual symptoms last a few days before your period.  It is good to learn to keep a calendar so you know when you are bloating. Day 1 is your period, and pms is usually day 21. Dont have sex at 11, and no birth control medicine. Respect your health so no medicine is needed.  It is best to have hobbies to prepare for life ahead, and finish school. Blessings!

22 months.\n\n"An elephant's gestation (pregnancy) period lasts about 22 months (630-660 days), the longest gestation period of any mammal, after which one calf typically is born. "

I was on it years ago, and i NEVER had periods.  I can't remember why i got off it.  But i tried other things and eventually went back to Provera thinking I would have the same experience.  Unfortunately my second time on it, I had periods that lasted for 2 weeks... and a lot of break through bleeding in between!  I got off it again.  Now I'm on Seasonalle and I only have a period 4 times per year. I love it!!

Longest ive done something is probably about 15 minutes, i was at work and put something in the computer and checked it over and over again about 20 times. I still do it but try not to as much, I also do things before i go to bed, like i dont let myself look at a certain picture or leave a certain object where it is, i have to move it to feel comfortable about going to bed.

yep...you're normal.  for the first year you may experience periodic bleeding and sometimes heavier bleeding and cramping almost like a period.  A lot of times after a year the periods go away all together.  That was my experience.  if the cramping and bleeding persists beyond a few days, talk to your doctor.

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 : )

No. Periods have their natural course. They come and then they go. Don't worry, you enver know how long it will last because periods last 3 to 5 days depending on if your stressed out or really healthy, or just recently gained weight.

Well, I'm a nurse and would love to know if anyone out there has found a way. I've had my period since my 8th birthday. Yep my 8th birthday. It sucked. The only thing that I have came up with is the last day of my period I always feel gross so I'll fill up the bathtub with water and lay down. Then start sucking the water in me and pushing it out til the water comes out clean. Then get up and take a shower. YES MEN WE CAN DO THAT! Interesting isn't it? lol \nAnyway If I do that it cleans me out and I don't spot no more. It doesn't work on the 2nd to last day it has to be the last day for me. I always have a 5 day period.\nWhy not just douche? Because those have chemicals in them that I don't want in me. They are also not as effective.

yeah your periods just go all over the place after you have taken it.  you might wait ages for a period, or you might get a period for ages.  If it goes past 10 days tho go and see a Dr.  Your next period will also come when it feels like and it may take a couple of cycles to get into a routine again.

A period usually 3 to 5 days, but anywhere from 2 to 7 days is considered normal.
