Is it normal to be on your period for 7 days ?!


Question: A normal menstrual period lasts from 2 to 7 days. The normal cycle patterns can range from 21 to 35 days. When bleeding occurs that is not part of the regular cycle; periods are longer or heavier than normal; occurs between periods; time between periods is longer than normal; or there is an absence of periods, this is called abnormal or irregular uterine bleeding. There are various causes of abnormal bleeding, but the most common is a hormone imbalance. At both ends of the menstrual life of a woman, periods may be irregular. Reasons for abnormal periods can be both normal and abnormal. The most normal reason is pregnancy. Hormone imbalance (not enough or too much of certain hormones) can also be a common reason. This can occur as a result of weight loss or gain; heavy exercise; stress; illness; or certain medications. The most common result of a hormone imbalance is loss of ovulation. If this occurs over a long period of time, a condition called endometrial hyperplasia can occur. Endometrial hyperplasia is the result of constant estrogen bombardment of the endometrium (the lining of the uterus shed every month with your period). Untreated, endometrial hyperplasia (when the lining of the uterus becomes too thick) can sometimes turn into cancer.

yea depending on the girl they can last for 3-9 days
mine is 5-6

Yyyyyyeeesssss.

yeah- some people have them for 3 days, others for a lot longer.

Yes, they can last normally anywhere from three to nine days. Do not worry about it, it is very normal, this is just a whole week. It is actually the healthiest to shed your uterus wall for seven days.

Yes, it is very normal. Anyone can have that.

Hmmm, I think it's normal. It depends, did you just get your period. Because when you first get it, the time is totally irregular. Like I've had mine only once and it hasn't come back.

Yes it is. Periods can last from 2-8 days. They also come irregular for the first year.

why yes. it depends on the person, and often, a person's cycle can go out of whack when around their friends...the hormones can battle(?) with each other.?...if that makes any sense...

Yes. That's perfectly normal. Don't worry! :)

Mine was until I had my first child.

anywhere from 3-9 days is normal. mine is 7 days long too and my doctor says i'm fine! =)

Based on what I've heard, it is not uncommon to have irregular periods depending on the person's age, hormonal activity and genetic predispositions to have abnormal periods. It could even last as long as 14 days or even skip months.

Yes, and it's hell when it lasts that long. I have it irregular though.

Yea just fine
the longest ive had mine was like 5 days but mi friends last for like 8 or 9 even

yes u can
