my period ALWAYS last 7 days or more ALWAYS

well my last period only lasted 5 days!!

idk why!

has this happened to anyone?

im starting think i might either be pregnant or something bad is going on.

:-(

You shouldn't be worried about anything. Has anything in your life changed? Diet, exercise, etc. It affects your endocrine system which affects the duration and intensity of your period. You're not pregnant, as you're bleeding, still.

well i def. know theres a chance of me gettin my period and still be pregnant. but my period was extremely light and its usually EXTREMELY HEAVY. my diet has been the same for a couple of months now. the only thing is right after i ended my period i got strep throat. and im sure it has nothing to do with it. but still.

and im not really worried about possibly beign pregnant, because me and my bf used a condom and the other guy ive ever done it with, we nnever used one (i know stupid, long story).

its jsut weird, i mean ive had my period since middle school and never really had a prob until now.

ive had probs with my ovaries before and the one does feel swollen thats why im kidna worried.

thats quite long.
no, this never happens to me.

oh iw asnt asking if you get it for that long lol. i ment has the length of it changed suddenly during a normal time in your life

I wouldn't be too worried about it cause it's normal for periods to change in flow and length. If it's super irregular, you can go see a doctor. Sometimes, irregular periods can be a sign of hormonal imbalance. Besides, if you go to a doctor, you can request birth control to regulate it.

Through, with your prior problems with your reproductive system, I say go to the doctor to just get it checked out for your own peace of mind.

That's just like me. My period is always 7 days or more.

Maybe stress?

Wow. That really must suck. Are you stressed about something? That happened to me once last year during exams. :(
It really sucked.

nothing different has changed... i mean i moved in my new apartment which im excited about cuz its right across the st form my sn so i wont have to woryr so myuch about missing class.


thanks every1 imma wait a week or so then ill go tothe doctors if its still there

I don't think it's anything too abnormal. You should be somewhat grateful that you have two fewer days of your period to deal with.

no not really. i like things to go the same way all the time, like that visa check card commercial one thing goes wrong and its like wtf! everything gets out of place

i started my period young (10ish) & one year i just stopped. it took 3 years for me to have my next one. I havent been regular since.
i wouldnt be worried, as miss hygienic stated, as long as youre bleeding youre not pregnant.

heyy some women get their period and are still pregnant for like the first month sometimes even 2. i know im not pregnant.

it happens..theres been times where ive had my period 10 days, 5 days, 7 days, 3 days..im irregular tho. [obviously.] but yeah..like i said..it happens.

mine is never irregular. thats why its a concern lol ive had it since middle school and im in college.

idk lets wait and see when i get my next one.

just think of it as a lucky break! two days--no big deal.

well i dunno. i've had mine since 7th grade && i graduated high school 5 years ago. haha. but..like previous posts..a lot of things can contribute to it. stress, change in food intake, sleep..everything.

i'm not a doctor or anything..but its not likely youre pregnant because you simply dont have your period when you're pregnant. sure..theres a few cases where you DO, but a lot of people mistake the bleeding from the imbedding of the fertile egg as their period. but even if the egg is imbedding itself, females only spot for 2-3 days. [at least, this is what ive found out throughout my life. haha.]

i guess all you really can do is wait..but i wouldnt stress too much over it. your body changes over time..so...yeah....

I'd say don't stress. So what if its never been irregular before? So maybe it has this time. Seriously, if you're that worried go see your doctor but I really think its fine. No big deal really.

... still waiting on my period, :-( im about a week late, if i dont get it by thursday before i go to the docs, ill just have em test me. i hope my body is jsut playing games with me... grrr

It might just be that your body is going through a change My cycle is never normal. I don't even get it around the same day of the month... I've been wanting my doctor to do something for me, but she never does.

im hoping im late cuz of my mono....

Have you been really stressed out about anything? Sometimes when I'm under a lot of stress, it delays my period. Maybe stress made your period not last as long?

i havent been under ANY stress. ive been having fun and what not.

sure after this weekend, ive been worrying about my period but thats it. only time ive been stressing.

:-(

this isnt even about the original topic, but i figured it wasnt necessary to make a new topic

You definitely cannot be pregnant if you have your period ^_^

When I first got my period, back before 6th grade, it lasted maybe 2-3 days. Now I can go up to 7 days, but it fluctuates between 4-7. The change is possibly due to a change in diet, a stressful experience, or even traveling? There are many things that can alter your period, so don't worry about it. As long as it's not coming out green or purple... <_<

i dont have my period... I'm late

i havent been under stress or anything. everythings been normal
