Why do people say "see your doc if you have you period for ... amount of days"???

boy do I have a story for you!  I once had my period for 23 day straight.  I first went to my normal doctor and she did absolutely nothing.  No tests were run or anything.   I then went to the gyno hoping for an answer.  He preceeded to tell me that it was because I was fat and that the fat cells give off more estrogen and that can prolong your period.  I went home crying still not knowing exactly what to do about the problem.

Depends on why your period was supposed to stop... Do you think you might be pregnant, or are you taking some sort of medication??  Both might affect this, I'd guess.  If you have a period that is lasting as long as 2 weeks, you should definitely see a doctor.

Oh, honestly, I get so sick when I hear about doctors disregarding severe menstrual pain with "You need to go on birth control."\n\nBirth control helps a LOT of women, and I wouldn't necessarily give up on it (unless you are trying to get pregnant, obviously) but it is not a universal cure for what ails you.  It conceals your symptoms... it does not treat the underlying issue.\n\nUnless you have a diagnosis for why your periods are so difficult (Endometriosis, PID, Ovarian Cysts, Fibroids... lots of options, and it's not possible to diagnose over the web) then your doctor should not be just dismissing your problems with "birth control" as if that is the only cure.  What you need to do is to see a new physician who respects you.

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!

Your gynocologist, or the doctor at your clinic, will usually be able to give you a month or two free if you go for a check-up.  If she doesn't, ask for them at the end of the appointment.

You really ought to be asking a doctor this question...like yesterday...

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.

wasting ur time. happened to me like 5 times! it's normal. it just means u didn't shed all ur blood and the vagnia is getting rid of some more. for me it lasted 3 days after mmy regular period. don't worry, it is normal. but if u r still nervous go to a different dr to get a different oppinion.

there is nothing wrong here because thats what has happened to me a couple of times, it lasted for about 2 weeks perhaps a little less like 12 days, and it is a long time and i got a little worried about it. But it did stop, and when it did i was soooo relieved. My mum had no idea what was going on either, and I really didn't want to go to the doctors. And you know what else happened to me that got me worried all over again, well i missed my period for 3 whole months!! can you believe it, and i still avoided seeing a doctor, but after those three months had gone by, I got my period again and it was all back to normal, I just think that my body was going through a phase, which has never happened since, so i'm relieved about that. Just wait a little while longer and all should be back to normal very soon, but if not then I suggest seeing a doctor. =)

i would need a little more info but here goes you could be preggers if you know for a fact thats untrue then it could be a late period in which case it could be a long 1 late periods can last upto 12 days and some can be upto 10 days late depending on your horemoans

If your doctor says there is nothing wrong, perhaps there isn't.  You could see an ob/gyn, or just be grateful for the delay, it's no pic-nic.  Some people have been even older than you.  A lot of it can be your diet and weight...especially if you are very thin.\nYou know though, if my doc said I was fine, I'd be ecstatic.  If all is well, no need to be in a hurry for a lifetime of monthly cramps and irritability.

Congratulations!  No, you definitely do not have to worry. It's annoying when your period shows up unexpectedly like that, but not everyone has an ultra-predictable cycle, especially when they're really young.  It might take a while for your body to establish a schedule, but that alone is not something to worry about.

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.

Start when your period does. It's very important that you get a Pap once a year. It test for abnormalities. I hated going to the Gynecologist. I never went for my check ups. I ended up having to go because I got pregnant and found out I had Cervical Cancer. If I had not of gotten pregnant I would have been dead 2 years form now. I'm just trying to say be sure you go to a Gynecologist at least once a year. It could save your life.
