Extremely long period?!


Question: Extremely long period!?
My first period was a whopping three weeks long!! I'm serious - what's up with that!? Why did that happen - it hasn't been that long since (usually about 10 - 14 days long now)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
hi there!. well sometimes it takes a females cycle a year before it becomes "normal"!. And is it really that long!? the usual period lasts between 4-7 days for most women, so if you have normal bleeding on those days and minor bleeding for a few days after that, that is relatively normal!. I used to have fairly heavy periods that lasted close to 10 days also, and that was just what a regular cycle was for me!. That changed after I had my first son, it seemed to regulate it a little better and lasts only around 5 days total now!. I am definitely NOT saying to go out and get pregnant lol, but if it concerns you book an appointment with your doctor and they can go over things with you, about waht is "normal" and sometimes taking a birth control pill can help regulate your period, it's not just for birth controlWww@Answer-Health@Com

considering you're first starting, its the whole hormone thing!.
i would definately go see a doctor, especially if it's heavy flow!.
i hate to say it, but your doctor might want to put you on birth control to lighten and shorten the period!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
